A Star Shines I was born in Venezuela with parents of different nationalities and at the age of 8 I began to study music, as a recreational activity and as personal therapy, since from a very young age my father abandoned me and suffered from that affective lack, when he began to sing and make music , I realized that there was something that made me very happy and I had fun doing it and that something was music, I began to study in a primary school where I learned theater, dance and music, but I decided to stay with the music chair Since it allowed me to learn many instruments and create anything I imagined with sounds, there I studied the basic notions of the cuatro, the guitar, the keyboard, the percussion and the recorder. Soon after I began to sing in a church that was nearby, I joined a choir and learned all the songs that I could, regardless of the level of difficulty, for me the world of music was becoming more and more interesting. stay focused, and stop thinking about my father's abandonment. At the age of 13 I left the church choir to continue my studies in the Symphony Orchestra. On one occasion I was invited to a concert as part of the Soprano Voices Choir, I sang at a graduation at UCV, there I met musicians who helped me find the next step to study a brass instrument that would change my life. So a trombone teacher told me after the concert that if I wanted to study a wind instrument he was available to help me, I did not know what it was about, but I agreed to see private lessons with him, I had to study the trombone I learned to playing the first 4 notes in 2 classes and that gave the teacher relief, since he had to wait a full month to get a single note from the Trombone, so that motivated me to continue, I thought that maybe I could learn more and have a talent for That is why, at the end of the month of private classes, the teacher decided to send me to study at the Symphony orchestra, because he told me that I was already prepared for the next level, playing with other musicians and learning by watching a direction.

So I did, I went to enroll in the Symphony orchestra closest to my location, and I began to train with another teacher, this was a military man so he was somewhat strict in his classes, I learned very quickly according to the teacher, but I felt that it was difficult for me to master high-pitched sounds, I had a fear like you play them every time I saw them on a sheet music. Soon after, I participated in the sample concerts and they gave me the opportunity to go to a meeting of Orchestras. This meeting allowed me to meet many young people who, just as I was entering the world of music, I began to dream, I believed that there really was a purpose for which I should be there. As the years went by, I changed the orchestra because of the distance, I had to go to one that would allow me to study at the university, I began to study computer science forthe fact that my mother wanted me to see music as a career. I studied 4 semesters of this career.

I worked in a private school teaching music and also with an accounting assistant in a restaurant, drawing up accounts and helping in everything that was organizing the price lists of the same in a computer data of the company. Every day was a routine for me, I was doing this for 9 months, I did not sleep well, I lived a fast-paced life and had many daily activities, I always had to run to get to transport in time to go to the 2 jobs, I practiced swimming, and tube Than to leave the orchestra for this reason, I disconnected from music in a certain sense and I realized that I was made for music and not to be in an office daily and do accounts. So I decided to join the pedagogical university of Caracas, to study a degree in Music Education.

When I received the results, I knew it was a sign that I should continue studying music and doing what I was so passionate about. Spending nine months and doing so many activities made me sick and suddenly I had to give up everything. This for me was a difficult test. I did not know what to do, my mother helped me with her words to give me encouragement and motivate me to continue, but as she did if I had money, a good economic position, two jobs and so many activities and then I had nothing for health reasons I had to leave everything and dedicate myself to improving my health, all the people I considered my friends abandoned me when I needed it most, so with the help of my mother I went for medical examinations and to my surprise it was gallstones, and I had to I had surgery, I was afraid of it, but I had no choice but to make preparations for said operation. It was difficult for me to be alone after having so many friends, whom I invited out, I did not mind spending the money and sharing with my "friends".

I went out everywhere on my days off, I tried to enjoy my free time as much as I could, At that time I was studying at the university and I was surrounded by many Christians, they always spoke to me about God but I did not take it seriously, I believed in God in my own way, and I lived at will I made the decision to be with my friends enjoying parties , or modeling events, anything but going to church, until this happened to me I was sick and consequently had to rest, diet until the operation.

My mother was a Christian and she prayed for me all the time, she asked God to change me, to help me live a new life, to serve God. With all this and already in the hospital before the operation I only remembered the words of a Christian woman who told me Cindy if you are afraid of dying you should only cry out to Jesus Christ he is the only one who can save you, he is the only one who can listen to you and will answer you. I met this woman because she gave her daughter private piano lessons, and nor I understood why I suddenly had this bad feeling that something was going to happen and I did not know what it was, I only remembered the words of this woman before going into the operating room to operate.

I was very afraid and a feeling was a bad feeling, so I just did what she told me to cry out to Jesus Christ, pray to God for forgiveness for not wanting to listen to him or accept him in my life for so long that I walked at my will, looking for the answers of a God in many religions and he still did not know God, until that moment when he had nothing and could only cry out to that Jesus who heals the sick and who raised Lazarus, the one who performed miracles, died on the cross of Calvary for love, to atone for the sins of the world, so I did pray to Jesus Christ giving him my life in his hands because I did not know what would happen after that operation, suddenly I felt a unique peace, the fear was passing, I did not understand what was passing, and they called me into the operating room.

The estimated time of the operation was one hour and it was not as expected, the operation lasted almost 6 hours, they did not find the gallbladder, they did a kaoaroscopy, I gave myself blood and I died in the operating room. I had a supernatural encounter with God, I remember that I was in a fetal position like a baby, in a place all white and full of peace, in that place there is no pain, sadness, anguish, only eternal peace, I felt a very pleasant cold I wanted I stayed in that place, and suddenly I heard a voice that read a list of things that I did and I don't remember any more until I woke up in a dark room where they put the dead, there I was physically I woke up suddenly and breathed like when you come out of the water After diving into the depths of the ocean and you take a breath like that, a breath of air that was that, I suddenly fainted.

At that time they were about to give my mother the bad news in the hospital corridor, my mother was crying and my father also appeared, waiting for the news to be given. And after I woke up like this, God resurrected me, Jesus Christ really answered my prayer, the doctors met quickly, they treated me, they gave me blood transfusions, they said that I was a miracle of God that no one dies and lives to tell about it, so God gave me another chance to live life slower and with purpose. All this changed my life 360 ​​°, my world changed completely, my friends, the calls I received were only from my Christian students telling me that they were praying for me, the university colleagues who were Christians also wrote to me and helped me even in the hospital to get some things, a colleague from the orchestra helped me get blood donors for my operation.

All this made me see the love of God through the children of God who reached out to me when I needed the most and above all the greatest miracle that God did in me, which was to bring me back to life. When I recovered in the hospital I just cried and saw theHeaven and said my God you are real, you love me so much, why me? I was wondering, I was so thankful to God for this second chance to see the sunlight and the stars shine again. I will go to God giving thanks for allowing me to be alive and I only offered my talents my voice and my talents for music to do something and serve God. Help others and sow the talent of others with the blessing of singing and making music.
