Roses For Ms. Rosie Dennerlein
This month, as we celebrate remarkable women around the world, I choose to honor the life and legacy of Ms. Rosie Dennerlein, who tragically went home to be with the Lord following a car accident in Uganda on February 27, 2026. Rosie was the founder and visionary leader of Shakan Global, a mission-based organization in Uganda devoted to empowering women and children economically and transforming lives with dignity and hope.
I first met Ms. Rosie in May 2025 at a conference in New Hampshire, USA. She approached me with the brightest smile, introduced herself, and from that moment the evening unfolded into a warm, heartfelt conversation about her work in Uganda and the passion that fueled her calling. As she spoke, I listened—deeply inspired—not only by what she did, but by who she was. I shared with her my desire to support her mission, as it resonated so strongly with my own passion for representing Christ.
During the rest of the conference, she consistently went out of her way to make sure I had a good seat, greeting me with hugs and a smile that radiated pure kindness. Her spirit was so beautiful, so genuine, that you could not help but be drawn into her presence. After the conference, we stayed connected through WhatsApp, and her warmth and encouragement continued to shine through every message.
My heart is truly broken to learn of her passing. The void she leaves in the lives of all who knew her—and in the communities she served—is immeasurable. The world needs more women like Ms. Rosie, women who quietly and powerfully change destinies and create pathways of hope for others. My prayer is that God will strengthen and equip us to carry her legacy forward, continuing the work she began and making the world a better place for many in her honor.
Rosie, it was a profound honor to know you. I am certain that Jesus welcomed you with joy into His arms. We will meet again in His glory one day. Until then, rest in power, rest in peace, and rest in the everlasting glory of our Lord.

Declarations For March 2026
Welcome to the third month of the year and yes the first quarter is almost ending for us. Indeed, greater things are still in store for those who believe. This month, I’d like us to make declarations for the Lord’s guidance as we navigate through the remainder of 2026. I declare that the good Lord will;
- Establish our steps,
- Teach us to do His will,
- Lead us on level ground,
- Counsel us with His loving eye on us.
I pray that whether we turn to the right or to the left, our ears will hear a voice behind us , saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'" Let this be so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
XOXO,
Lady Abena.
Can Your Purpose Be Too Late?
I stumbled on a reel a few days ago from a young and famous preacher who was sharing what God revealed to him about a few men who had tried to do ministry but could not succeed. To him, the pattern he saw was that they were up in age and God was directing him that their time to have started to build was over.
This got me thinking about several things, one being that life is designed in seasons and hence every 10-20 years come with a different level of capacity. We cannot always cheat nature physiologically but I do believe that when it comes to purpose, God can restore time and capacity to accomplish it. There are people who have defied so much in life to be walking miracles, literally speaking. There are many whose life assignments started in their older years. Someone’s purpose can be as young as a month old and he/she will be out and gone. If it is from God, He can always position you no matter what stage you are in life to make an impact on that specific generation and beyond, all for His glory.
I want to encourage someone that your PURPOSE is never too late as long as you are alive and healthy. It can still be achieved and accomplished in due time. It took Noah 100 years to complete the ark. Abraham did not hold Isaac until he was over a century old. The Psalmist prayed in Psalms 71:9 CSB that;
“Don’t discard me in my old age. As my strength fails, do not abandon me.”
I hold on to this prayer and pray it over my family and friends daily. Our time on earth will be fulfilling to the end. We will not miss our assignment/purpose. It will all be accomplished in due time. Let this be so and so it is in Jesus’ name. Amen.
XOXO,
Lady Abena.
