After the divorce, after the loss, after everything familiar had fallen away, my life entered a quiet and uncertain season. I had surrendered what I once depended on—my marriage, my career, my finances, and the identity I had built around self-reliance. I was no longer steering my life with the confidence I once had. Instead, I was learning how to listen. How to wait. How to trust.
It was during this season that leaders from Atomy approached me.
They knew my heart. They knew my calling. They knew I had been a missionary to India and that my life had always been about building something beyond myself—something meant to serve, uplift, and provide for the future. They saw what I could not yet fully see: that what I had walked through was not the end of my story, but a clearing of the ground.
They asked me to start a center.
They asked me to help build Atomy.
At the time, I had very little. Not just financially, but emotionally and physically. Everything in me wanted certainty before commitment, clarity before action. But faith rarely works that way. Faith asks you to step forward before the whole path is visible.
So I jumped in with what little I had.
I opened El Shaddai Atomy Center not from abundance, but from obedience.
And that is when something remarkable began to happen.
The dreams and visions God had given me over the years—many of which I had quietly stored away because they didn’t seem practical or possible—started to align. What once felt scattered now fit together like puzzle pieces finally finding their place. The past made sense. The pain had context. Even the losses had purpose.
Before Atomy, I trusted only myself when it came to finances. Control had been my safety net. If I worked hard enough, planned carefully enough, and stayed vigilant enough, I believed I could protect myself and those I loved.
But control is heavy.
And after losing everything and surrendering it fully to the Lord, I experienced something I had never known before: provision without striving. God met my needs in ways that could not be explained logically or predicted on paper. Doors opened at the right time. Resources appeared when needed. Support came without manipulation or force.
It was then that Scripture stopped being words on a page and became living truth.
I finally understood what it meant when Jesus spoke of “peace that surpasses all understanding.”
This peace did not come from certainty.
It did not come from security.
It came from alignment.
I remained faithful, but more than that, I became obedient to His calling and His vision. And obedience, I have learned, is far more challenging than belief. Faith can feel inspiring. Obedience often feels uncomfortable.
This path was not what I wanted.
And truthfully, there are still moments when I struggle.
But I stand on His promises.
Not because I feel strong every day—but because He is faithful every day. I continue forward not by my own confidence, but by trusting that the One who carried me through loss will also guide me through purpose.
El Shaddai Atomy Center was not just a business venture. It became a place where faith met action, where provision met service, and where my calling began to take tangible form. It was the first time in a long time that my outer work reflected my inner truth.
I no longer build from fear.
I no longer build from control.
I build from obedience.
And in that obedience, I have found peace, provision, and a quiet assurance that I am exactly where I am meant to be—walking forward, one faithful step at a time.
