"The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell."
Psalms 27:1-2

Initially, Coming to the School of YADA made my life challenging, being a woman, mom, wife, student, and armor bearer of my husband. I didn't know what should I prioritize. One day, God taught me how to manage my time for my family, school, ministries, and my husband, and respond to His calling. In the school of Yada, I learned that my life is not about me, but it is all about Jesus. It is about pursuing and denying myself and obeying the will of GOD. I thank the LORD my GOD for the lives of our teachers who teach us, lead us, guide us to be good daughters of GOD, be prayerful, be vigilant, and stand boldly before the LORD. They helped us how to work in the Spirit realm, be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and His voice, His giftings, and enable us to become desperate to do great things for the LORD and to share His gospel until everyone has heard. God transformed my perspective in my life that no matter how appealing man's activities are if they do not spring from complete trust in the Holy Spirit they are carnal and therefore rejected by GOD. He opposes and hates everything that comes from the flesh regardless of outward appearances and whether done by a sinner or a saint. His verdict is: the flesh must die. Walking with God each day has a tremendous result that it brings to my life. From being a woman of GOD to being a better woman of God, a woman after GOD's own heart.
