Something Wonderful Is About to Happen

Always Believe

A reminder from God that something wonderful is about to happen

Last Sunday after church, something happened that I will never forget.

As I was leaving the sanctuary, a dear sister in Christ and friend approached me with a gift she had been holding onto since December. The moment she placed it in my hands, my knees became weak. I can’t fully explain the feeling — it was as if something deep inside of me already knew what it was.

Right there in front of us was a bench, and I had to sit down.

“You’re going to open it now, aren’t you?” she asked.

“Yes,” I told her, because I already sensed that whatever was inside that wrapping paper was going to mean more than just a gift.

When I opened it, there it was.

A journal.

Tears immediately filled my eyes. My dear friend began to cry too, even though she didn’t fully know why the moment meant so much to me.

Since 2020, I have been given journals along my journey stewarding Ja ‘ja Chews with the Lord. I have never had to purchase one myself. They always seem to arrive at just the right moment, once there are no more blank pages to write on — almost like markers of a new season in my walk with God.

But here we are in March of 2026, and I hadn’t received one yet this year.

I even brought it before the Lord during my quiet time.

“Maybe you’re doing something new, Lord,” I thought. “Maybe I’m not supposed to be writing things down anymore.”

For a brief moment I even considered buying one myself. But something in my spirit said no. Every journal along this journey had been given — and I wasn’t going to change that now.

The week before had been challenging. By Thursday I was discouraged. I had sent out my weekly newsletter half-heartedly and wondered if maybe I had run out of things to say.

When you pour your heart into something — whether it’s writing, encouraging others, or building a growing a business like Ja’ja Chews — those thoughts can creep in.

But God had other plans.

On Friday, I received a testimonial through the Ja’ja Chews website. Someone shared how the chews had already begun making a positive difference for them by day three. Immediately I repented. I realized I had allowed doubt to enter my heart.

God gently reminded me that I still have something to say — and that what He has placed in my hands is helping people.

Then Saturday came.

A supporter sent me a video of her daughter singing “Always On Time.” In the background was an illuminated cross suspended in the sky above her. It was breathtaking. The only words I could text back were:

“The cross.”

And then Sunday came.

Before I even walked out of church with my new journal in my hands, another beautiful friend and sister stopped me to say how much she has been enjoying my blog posts.

Only God could arrange that kind of timing.

The journal itself was royal blue with gold lettering that read:

“Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen.”

I smiled through my tears when I read those words.

Because that is exactly what God was reminding me of.

Even when the week is hard.

Even when you feel uncomfortable.

Even when discouragement tries to creep in.

Always believe.

Because God is always working behind the scenes.

And on that spectacular Sunday, through a simple gift placed in my hands, and an encouraging word. He reminded me that the story is not over — there are still many pages left to write.

A Final Thought

Moments like this remind me that God often speaks through the smallest and simplest things — a gift, a conversation, or a message arriving at just the right time.

Ja’ja Chews was born out of a season of prayer, healing, and obedience. What started as something personal has grown into something that is reaching and encouraging others.

Every testimonial, every message, and every order reminds me that God is still writing this story.

And just like the words written on that journal cover…

Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen.
