DANIA'S REFLECTION CORNER.

 For me, forgiveness is primarily about obedience to God, because that is the foundation that guides my actions and decisions. I believe that when I choose to obey Him, love and compassion for others naturally follow, even when it is difficult or when I feel I have been treated unfairly. Through that process, I also experience inner peace, since I know I am acting according to my values and keeping my heart free from resentment. While forgiveness includes compassion for the other person and peace within myself, I see these as outcomes that grow from obedience rather than separate motivations. In that sense, forgiveness is not just an emotional response for me. It is a conscious spiritual choice that shapes how I relate to others and how I maintain peace in my life.

God is an awesome God! Sometimes we think we have to feel spiritual in order to pray or read the Bible, but I’ve been learning that consistency matters more than emotions. Lately, I’ve been trying to change small parts of my routine to spend more time with God, even on days when I don’t feel like it. And something beautiful keeps happening: whenever I’m going through a situation and I open the Bible, I always find a chapter or a verse that speaks directly to what I’m living. It feels like God is gently guiding me, reminding me that I’m not alone and that He knows exactly what I need. This has taught me that even when we feel distracted, tired, or distant, we should still pray and open His Word. Comfort doesn’t always come from our feelings sometimes it comes from choosing to seek Him anyway, and discovering that He was ready to speak to us all along.

This movie was truly brilliant and deeply touching. What made it so powerful wasn’t just the love story, but the message behind it: forgiveness and peace. The story shows how life doesn’t always turn out the way we expect, and how betrayal, pain, and disappointment can leave us stuck in bitterness for years. What stood out to me the most was how forgiveness didn’t come easily or quickly it required honesty, faith, and the courage to let go. Nathan’s journey reminds us that sometimes peace only comes when we choose to forgive, not because others deserve it, but because our hearts need freedom. Even when things don’t work out as we imagined, God can still bring purpose, healing, and peace through the process. This is why I truly recommend this movie it’s realistic, emotional, and full of meaning.

Back in September, I applied for a job opportunity and got rejected at a very early stage because I couldn’t clearly explain what the simple present tense was. That moment hurt more than I expected, especially because I’m studying to become an English teacher. I remember thinking, How am I supposed to teach English or even graduate if I’m already in my fourth year of college and I can’t explain such a basic grammar topic? That thought completely shattered me. I felt embarrassed, discouraged, and questioned my own abilities. Still, earlier this month in December, I decided to try again. By God’s grace, I passed the initial stage, even when the recruiter was clearly skeptical. I truly believe God was the one who gave me that opportunity. The process included a one-month training program, but I couldn’t pass the first week because the required score was 7, and I got a 6. When they asked me to leave the session, I felt deeply sad. However, this experience taught me something very importa...

 Hi there! It's been quite a while...... This semester has been one of the clearest reminders of how faithful and beautiful God is. He has guided me with patience, strengthened me in moments of pressure, and helped me reach places that I could never reach on my own. Every grade I received, the 9s, the 10s, even the 8s  has been a testimony of His grace working in my life. I have seen classmates put extraordinary effort into their work, and yet God has surprised me with results that only He could make possible. When I received a perfect score, even higher than those who seemed more prepared, I knew it was His hand and not my own strength. I am far from perfect, but every day He teaches me, shapes me, and reminds me that trusting in Him opens the doors that effort alone cannot. I simply want to recognize His goodness, because without Him, none of this would make sense. God has been so, so good to me!

 I cannot believe it! This morning, as I stood under the shower, I found myself thinking about buying a body soap, since I was running out of shampoo. Later, about half an hour later, I felt a gentle nudge in my heart to visit my grandmother, who had recently undergone eye surgery and couldn’t wash her clothes herself. When I arrived, I was perfectly on time to take care of the laundry before my aunts could handle it, ensuring my grandmother was comfortable and cared for. As I was leaving, she pointed me to a drawer where I found a soap, exactly what I had been thinking about earlier. In that moment, I felt a profound sense of gratitude, realizing that it was truly God who had heard my thoughts and provided exactly what I needed within less than an hour. It was a powerful reminder of His care and presence in my life, and I’m deeply grateful for His constant attention and love. It was truly a glimpse of how amazing and powerful He is, always taking care of me.
