Fatshimetrie, the digital magazine that deciphers current events globally and locally, brings you today an inspiring story from a Congolese writer living in Morocco, Lydie Sompo. This passionate artist recently published a book entitled “Etrangère”, in which she shares her life journey marked by spirituality and faith in divine providence.
This autobiographical story, skillfully mixing narration and testimony, highlights the impact of divine grace in the author’s life. Lydie Sompo relates how, through the writing of this book, she felt a transcendent inspiration, guiding her towards the accomplishment of this literary project. For her, “Etrangère” is much more than a simple book, it is the fruit of a higher will that directed her pen and her thoughts.
The very title of the book, “Etrangère”, refers to a personal experience lived by Lydie Sompo upon her arrival in Morocco, where she felt like a foreigner in a new country. This experience of strangeness was for her an opportunity to get closer to God, to trust in his providence and his faithfulness. “Divine providence, much more than a reality, is a truth to be lived fully”, she affirms.
Beyond her identity as a writer, Lydie Sompo defines herself as a plural woman, born to positively influence her environment. As a servant of God and a senior executive in internal auditing in Morocco, she wishes to impact hearts and minds through her writings and actions. After the publication of “Etrangère”, Lydie Sompo is already preparing new literary projects, under the guidance of her divine inspiration.
As we read Lydie Sompo’s story and her spiritual journey, we are invited to reflect on our own relationship with faith and providence. Perhaps, like her, we could find in trusting a higher force the key to overcoming life’s challenges and finding our true path.
