No matter HOW HARD IT IS Dianna Dals has faced a number of hurdles throughout her life. Her hardships have ‘followed her like a hawk’, but she hasn’t given up. As her faith grows stronger, so does her determination. As a woman of grit and immense willpower, she has remained devoted. For around five years, Dianna had been facing council tax and rent problems, whereby the costs were constantly increasing. However, as she was constantly in and out of jobs – most of which she did not like, she was unable to afford the payments. Prior to this, when Dianna first arrived the UK from Jamaica, she struggled to obtain her permanent stay and had nowhere stable to live. She tells us, “I lived in a crack house and sold drugs to make money I knew what I was doing was wrong”. So, she decided to use her faith. She utilised the rose and the anointing oil and she prayed, asking God to help her, and of course He did. On top of this, she was pregnant, and the father of her baby passed away when she was four months pregnant, She had found him dead and this trauma made her life unbearable. Dianna recalls: “...because I see God in this place. I see the living God here, so I keep on carry on...” Dianna also participated in the Campaign, sacrificing the little money that she did have on the altar. God honoured her faith and the money that she owed was cleared. By making chains of prayers and taking part in the Campaign, Dianna kept her faith strong. In Dianna’s own words: “You use your faith, and God will open doors”.
