One thing I have learned that has changed my faith is that trusting God does not mean having all the answers. Sometimes, it means continuing to believe even when you have no idea what comes next.

Moving from Zimbabwe to the United States to pursue my education was one of the biggest changes in my life. Being far from family, adjusting to a different culture, and navigating unfamiliar challenges taught me a lot about independence, patience, and faith.

There have been moments when I questioned what was ahead of me and wondered whether things would work out the way I had hoped. However, I have gradually learned that God’s timing does not always match my own expectations. Just because something does not happen when I want it to does not mean God has forgotten about me.

I have also learned that faith is not only something we turn to when things go wrong. It should be part of our everyday lives, including the moments when everything seems to be going well.

Today, I see faith differently. I am learning to worry less about controlling every outcome and focus more on trusting God through the process. I may not know exactly where life will take me, but I have learned that uncertainty does not have to mean the absence of faith.
