Grace That Leads – My Journey in Aged Care

 Title: Grace That Leads – My Journey in Aged Care

If you asked me 25 years ago whether I would dedicate my life to aged care, I would have probably smiled politely and said, “That’s not for me.” But today, as I look back at every decision, every challenge, and every quiet miracle that has unfolded along the way, I see one thing clearly—it was never just my plan. It was God’s grace, every step of the way.

Many think aged care is about systems, operations, or policies. But I’ve come to know it as something deeper—it’s ministry. It’s service. It’s love in action. And none of it, I repeat, none of it would have been possible without the hand of God guiding me through seasons of doubt, moments of weakness, and times I simply wanted to give up.

There were days when financial strain made the future uncertain. There were times when criticism hurt more than I admitted. And there were nights I stayed up wondering if I was really making a difference. But God never left. In every stumbling block, He provided a stepping stone. In every shortfall, He sent unexpected provision. When doors closed, He opened windows I never saw coming.

From the smallest acts of kindness by a caregiver to the big decisions involving centre operations, I’ve learned that aged care is sacred work. It is holy ground to serve those in their final season of life with dignity, patience, and love. And for me to be part of this—still standing after all these years—is nothing short of a divine appointment.

I don’t write this blog to boast about accomplishments. I write this to testify:

Without God, I would not have taken the challenge.

Without God, I would not have stayed the course.

And without God, I would never have grown through it all.

So today, I give thanks. I give glory.

To the One who saw this journey long before I did.

To the One who equipped me when I felt unqualified.

To the One who still walks with me every day in the halls of Komune Care and beyond.

This journey isn’t just about aged care.

It’s about obedience. Faith. And grace.

And I pray that as long as I serve, my work will reflect His heart.

Amen.
