At the turn of a new year, I found myself desperate for change — tired of waiting, praying, and wondering if God had forgotten me. But through fasting, I discovered the power of surrender. What began as a 21-day fast for my future husband became a breakthrough that changed everything.

When a stubborn fig tree took root outside her gate, Ellen didn’t know it would become a lesson in faith. Through its growth and fruitlessness, God revealed a deeper truth about patience, prayer, and trusting His timing for a husband. A gentle reminder that faith still bears fruit — even when we can’t yet see it.
