Just four words..."Ijeoma, I'm praying for Kechi".......
It's amazing how these words sustained me in South Africa, especially, at those times counted in hours, when I would look at Kechi's still form, and will her to fight, to live.
To everyone who spoke these life-giving words that continually renewed my spirit, thank you.
Those words are now a part of me. When I know someone is in trouble, I call and I say, "I'm praying for you".

I'm still trying to get the hang of this blogging stuff.
So, where's everyone? Come on, people, let's get blogging!

My name is Ijeoma Okwuchi.

There is nothing special about me. I am an ordinary woman. Married to an ordinary man, Mike Okwuchi. Used to have an ordinary job, working at a bank in Aba where we used to live. My daughters are ordinary girls, born 10 years apart from each other, but ordinary all the same. We did ordinary things and lived our satisfied ordinary lives until...

When God decides to play a major part in your life there is very little you can do to change it. When you do not know Him, it becomes a scary escapade where you begin to even resent Him for picking you out. But when you know Him, and recognise His presence and His actions and His faithfulness and love, then it is not scary at all. Rather, it is overwhelming and beautiful... as you surrender to Him and let Him be your guide in deed.

That plane crash on the 10th of December, 2005 changed our lives for ever! I guess that no matter how it turned out, it would have still changed our lives for ever! Kechi, my daughter lost her dearest friends and schoolmates in that incident and the nation still mourns the disaster that befell it on that day! For us...? For us, things stopped being ordinary... and haven't ceased to unfold, daily and surely.

This is  no ordinary story and I had no peace until it got birthed. God's promise concerning the book is that the testimonies recorded in the book will change lives and bring many to God. I pray it does exactly that! Please share your feelings about the book in the blog. We will love to know how you have been affected by it. I also promise to continue to update you all on every progress that Kechi continues to make.

Happy Reading!
