The year 2011 was a turning point in my life. It's in this year that my mum got terminally ill. Every one including her self thought she couldn't make it. I remember feeling so helpless and extremely sad. I was in my final year of high school and so couldn't even cut school to take care of her. The illness was contagious. In those dark times my aunties accompanied my mum to her hospital visits and stays, that's when I realized the true meaning of family. I was lost and almost hopeless. But I decided to trust in God. I don't think I have ever prayed so much as much as I prayed that year. My prayer being nothing but a few words. Lord please heal her. Give her a second chance to life. And the Almighty God did give her that second chance. She gradually became better, from being bed ridden to taking her medicine at home, she even gained some healthy weight. Every time I remember those dark days, I tell myself that Nothing is impossible with God. Only He knows the plans He has for us all. Plans to prosper us and not to fail us.
From this I learnt to trust God completely regarding every aspect of my life.
Today my mum is a successful business owner. I thank God for this everyday. She is a living testimony of God's goodness and blessings in our lives. I think those who saw her during her sick days didn't think she would make it this far. But Gods' ways and plans are not man's ways.
It's for this reason that I choose to believe and trust in Him all the days of my life.
