In 2022, the Lord rescued us from our institutionalized thinking of education. With the help of the gift in Tannie Martie, we were liberated from performance-based systems. The day after the session with her we let Hatfield Christian Online School know that we will no longer be attending. A few weeks into the uncapped education the thought of iXchange popped into my mind.

I had visited Tishri multiple times and had the desire to come. I realize that the ‘how’ question was not even really applicable to me since the IWTTC messages came and Tishri came to iXchange that it was for me. I was very bored at the time and did not realize the great opportunity that was in my hands regarding my education. In any case, the desire was brewing in me to join iXchange in 2023. When I did not receive the letter at the beginning of 2023, I was a bit heartbroken. But the Lord reassured me later in the year that my heart was pure in the matter, but my desire was a bit misplaced and thus caused a great deal of pain.

But the Lord was faithful and blessed the season that I had not yet completed. In hindsight, I was not close to ready, emotionally. There was exponential growth last year. I was definitely not ready and on the plus side I finished school; now I have the opportunity to seek God fully this year. The Lord has blessed me in this transition. I did not expect it to be this easy. I believe that fasting and prayer made a difference. Side note – the Sunday before we started Tannie Mari told me that she had been praying for the new iXchangers. I can witness that the prayers really worked.

So far, as I have said previously, it has been a joy
