I am a follower of Christ by faith & choice! I love God, the Creator of the universe, the Author of all eternity, with all my heart! Jesus is my Savior, and of the world. I enjoy traveling, a good chat with friends, watching movies, mostly comedies.
I enjoy reading books, mostly true stories (biographies, memoirs etc.). My current favorite books are: “Kisses From Katie” by Katie Davis and The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom. Those two women are amazing and an inspiration.
I deeply love my three siblings, I call them my children. It’s not by luck, I watched them growing since after we lost our parents to the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. My brother Eric is the most handsome, talented, brilliant, trustworthy, best friend anyone can wish for. He is younger but smarter than me. My two sisters Alice and Noella are a combination of beauty and awesomeness. It always amazes me how Alice is very gifted and acts more mature than all women her age I know. She gets along with everyone, she’s very wise in many ways. I can always rely on her wisdom and compassion.
Noella is the baby of the family, and she has all my attention and love in every way, especially that I always strive to be a mother she never had. Although I cannot replace our parents, but I can do my best to be there for her. It brings tears to my eyes when she calls me Mom. Not only that she doesn’t have many memories of our perished loved ones, she doesn’t even remember their faces. She will always be a little girl in my eyes. She brings laughter and joy to the family by just being herself. She cracks up jokes often although she may make you think she is a shy person; may be to others not to her siblings. Those three are the reason I am alive today and I have no doubt. I absolutely adore them. I am one lucky mother and big sister alive.
With my hubby, the love of my life 💞💓
Beauty for Ashes 
Woow Sis.. I really like this. I always love you.
Thanks sweetheart. Love you too
You are one amazing woman of God. There is nothing boring about you! There is an amazing man out there who needs to find you! Your names truly fit you.
Aww! I can’t get enough of your beautiful words. You are so sweet Grace. I once heard that “A woman’s heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.” With God, I haven’t needed anything, and it will never happen. Thank you again and again. Please share with your friends about my blog if you feel like it can inspire someone. I am trusting God for His wonders.
A very good bio, Alphonsine!
Thanks Olivier. Hope you are doing well.
I just read your story, Christ in Me, in My Daily Bread . My heart is so saddened and at the same time inspired …..amazed at your courage and faith. I thank the Lord that He sustained you and your precious siblings physically and spiritually. I will continue to read and support you and your ministry Rising above the Storm. I pray that God will forgive me for not realizing what was happening in Rwanda to you and your family and millions of Rwandans in the early nineties.

You really are a strong woman of faith and truely a hero for your sibblings and for others. I am so sorry for the tough time and difficult life you have gone through with your other sibblings. But, i can sense and feel that our Heavenly Father is truely faithful and He is with you always as He promised. Glory to God in the highest! I wish and pray in my heart that you will see greater things are yet to be done in and through your life.
