    THE MIDNIGHT NURSE

    People always assume the hardest part of nursing is the medical side: the emergencies, the alarms, and the long shifts. But for me, the hardest moments are the quiet ones. The hours when the hallways are dim, families have gone home, and patients are left alone with their fear. Those are the hours when I feel Jesus asking me to show up the most. Years ago, I worked the overnight shift when a teenage boy was admitted after a severe depressive episode. He looked so fragile, curled up on his side, eyes red from crying. He wouldn’t talk to anyone. When I checked his vitals,… Read More

    SURVIVING A PROPANE EXPLOSION

    There is a popular song in contemporary Christian music called “Another in the Fire” by Hillsong UNITED. On August 20, 2025, there was another in the fire with me. His name is Jesus. I was in a propane explosion on this fateful day. Three coworkers and I were in a mobile coffee truck that our church owns and operates. We were preparing to serve well over a thousand individuals who were moving their students back in at Wake Forest University. As we finished our preparations, we began to hear an ear-piercing noise. All of a sudden, a flash went across the truck,… Read More

    A WALKING MIRACLE

    God has the final say; it has always been that way in my life. It has been nine months since the doctors gave me a poor prognosis. I had an accident and fractured my hips. For a young person, the recovery process is quick, but not for an elderly person like me, who is 86 years old. When I arrived at the hospital, the doctors considered emergency surgery, but after analyzing all my conditions, they said it was not possible. Surgery would put my life at risk. I have hypertension, ischemic heart disease, endothoracic goiter with tracheal displacement, and bronchial asthma.… Read More

    BATTLING CANCER

    I was 21, when the doctor uttered the words that changed everything: “You have cancer.” I had gone to the hospital after weeks of unexplained fatigue, fevers, night sweats, weight loss, skin changes, and strange lumps. The diagnosis? Stage 1B Hodgkin lymphoma. I remember sitting frozen in the doctor’s office, watching my mother’s tears fall beside me. I was supposed to be worrying about exams, not chemotherapy. Despite the initial shock, I made a conscious decision to view that day with optimism. After months of not knowing what was wrong, at least I had an answer. That day marked the start of… Read More

    MY JOURNEY THRU DEATH AND BACK

    I have died twice, yet here I am, alive by the grace of God. In 2000, I lost my husband in a car explosion, and in 2011, I said goodbye to my mother. Grief almost broke me, but God carried me through those dark valleys. In 2015, I faced death on a highway. My car was T-boned at 75 mph, throwing me 189 yards. I woke up in the hospital with broken ribs; my torso was black. Paramedics said I had been clinically dead, but God brought me back. After that crash, doctors found an aneurysm in the left cerebral of my… Read More

    WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

    I was at the store when I got an urgent phone call from my wife, Blessie. It was July 12, 2024, and she was seven months pregnant, but there was a problem. She was bleeding. I rushed home and took her straight to the hospital. They took her right to labor and delivery. The doctors and nurses took over six hours checking her and trying to decide if they should do a C-section. When my daughter was born, she was incredibly pale and had no heartbeat. “We’re sorry for your loss,” they told us. My wife responded, “Keep trying.” With every… Read More
