I know that this opportunity must have been divine motivated, because I have been contemplating how I could use whatever means I can muster to help with a message of hope for those who have been diagnosed, planning to have surgery or have had and are now living with the life changing experience.

Most particularly, l would like to give some comfort to the many caregivers who go far beyond the call, to help their loved ones journey through their fears and discomforts. God has given me so much, but being alive right now is far beyond priceless. The lack of faith is the main reason why people worry and put themselves in a bad place unnecessarily, by dampening their spirit. We recite how much we believe in God and how much we trust him to take control of our situation, but we are not seriously strong enough about our faith to “Let go and let God”.

Speaking from experience, I can say unequivocally that “all things are possible if you only believe”. No pastor, family member, spouse, friend, neighbour can strengthen your faith. Nothing happens, if you don’t believe it can happen, it is as simple as that. I learned! You could say that I took many risks that landed me in hot water, and may even ask, if I had the chance to do it all again if I would. The answer is, I would not change a thing. I am now the wiser.

In 2012 I was diagnosed with having a small tumor on my brain, Because of my unshakeable faith, I instructed Dr. Magnus Ekedede, to remove it immediately. Three days later, in a grueling 10 hour plus surgery, the tumor, the size of a grapefruit was removed. Three days later I walked out of the hospital, coherent, talking, laughing and giving God thanks. I was overwhelmed. Since then my mind is sharper, thoughts crystallised, and now laser focused. Go to the place where you can find peace, void of other peoples opinion, not living up to anyone’s expectations. Escape to a place of quiet where you can celebrate the goodness of God to you personally. I am now there. I remain in celebration mode. There was never any fear, because God is!
