Through trials that many might find insurmountable, Ms. Derring has cultivated a life rooted in clarity, gratitude, and faith, emerging as a triumphant example of transformation. Her story is not just one of survival but of thriving with purpose and determination.
Ms. Sandra Oglesby Derring’s journey began in a loving household as the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Oglesby, growing up alongside six siblings. As a mother of two sons, Deonte and Tremayne, she has experienced the unparalleled joys and challenges of motherhood. Yet, her path was not without moments of profound struggle. From battling addiction to facing rejection and the pain of loss, Sandra found herself at a crossroads where faith became her anchor.
Her decision to confront her challenges head-on was rooted in a desire to break free from the chains of her past. Voluntarily entering a drug treatment program for women and children, Sandra demonstrated the courage to take steps many fear to face. Even when it meant making the heart-wrenching choice to temporarily place her youngest son in the care of the DCFS system, Sandra prioritized his well-being over her own comfort, showcasing a selfless love that is both inspiring and humbling.
Sandra’s transformation was not an overnight process but a gradual unfolding of clarity through her faith in Jesus Christ. By surrendering her pain and uncertainties to God, she discovered a renewed purpose for her life. Through every tear and prayer, Sandra rebuilt herself, finding gratitude even in the midst of adversity. Her faith ignited a spark within her, a deep understanding that God’s plans for her life were far greater than her trials.
As a Senior Operations QA Administrator and accomplished author of the book You Are Destined to Win, Sandra’s life is a testament to the power of perseverance. Her professional accomplishments, including diplomas in nursing and medical billing, coupled with over a decade of administrative experience, highlight her dedication to personal growth and excellence. But it is her spiritual journey that sets her apart. Sandra’s sincere passion for helping others discover their God-given purpose has become the cornerstone of her mission.
Through speaking engagements, mentorship, and outreach programs, Sandra has touched countless lives. Her colleagues often remark that she shares God’s love from “Walgreens to Walmart,” an endearing nod to her boundless enthusiasm for spreading the Gospel. Whether encouraging women in recovery or mentoring young girls, Sandra’s message remains clear, you are destined to overcome, and you are destined to win.
Sandra’s story reminds us that clarity comes when we quiet the noise of self-doubt and lean into faith. Gratitude grows when we recognize that even our hardest moments shape us for the better. And transformation occurs when we step boldly into the purpose God has designed for us. Ms. Sandra Oglesby Derring embodies these truths, inspiring others to embrace their own journeys with courage and hope.
Her life is proof that no matter the depth of our struggles, we can rise above them, stronger, clearer, and more grateful than ever before.
