MY STORY 

 

AFTER SEVEN YEARS,

FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE,

 HEART BEAT TO HEART BEAT, 

THE MIRACLE I FAITHFULLY

PRAID FOR, FINALLY CAME TRUE

 IN APRIL 2024 â€‹

​

MY​ WIFE WHO IS LEGALLY BLIND

 HAD JUST COME

OUT OF HOSPITAL 

AFTER FIGHTING A SERIOUS

 LIFE THREATENING INFECTION.

 

ALL WAS GOING WELL.

BUT ON THIS MORNING,

HER CONDITION DETERIORATED

AND I HAD TO

GET EMERGENCY SUPPLIES.​​

​

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME,

WHEN I STARTED TO FEEL 

VERY DIZZY AND WEAK

I HAD SUFFERED A STROKE

TWO YEARS EALIER IN 2022.

BUT IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS, 

I HAD OVER 25 MINI STROKES.

I KNEW THE SIGNS WELL,

AND HAD TO STOP AND REST

EVERY FEW YARDS,

JUST TO CATCH MY BREATH . â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹

 

I THOUGHT, OH NO HERE I GO AGAIN 

I HAD FALLEN A NUMBER OF TIMES 

IN THE PAST

AND ACTUALLY PASSED OUT .

I KNEW THEN

GETTING HOME WAS

GOING TO BE A BATTLE

I FAITHFULLY CRIED

OUT TO MY GOD FOR STRENGTH

USING MY FAVOURITE SCRIPTURE 

PHILIPPIANS 4/13

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST

WHO STRENGTHENS ME .​

 

I WAS REPEATING IT

OVER AND OVER â€‹AGAIN 

TO GET MYSELF HOME.

BUT THIS MORNING WAS DIFFERENT,

I WAS SO ANXIOUS ABOUT MY WIFE.

I REMEMBER THAT TRAGIC FEELING, 

I HAD NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE.

THIS WAS A PIVOTAL MOMENT,

 FOR THE FIRST TIME 

IN MY SEVEN YEAR BATTLE. 

​​​

I ACTUALLY WANTED TO GIVE UP,

IT WAS THE END FOR ME. 

I JUST WANTED TO DIE. â€‹â€‹

​

I WAS JUST 15 STEPS  

FROM MY DOORSTEP.

CRUMBLED TO THE GROUND.

 I KNEW THEN I WOULD NOT 

MAKE IT HOME.

I CRIED OUT TO GOD AGAIN,

BUT THIS TIME, IT WAS 

NOT A CRY OF FAITH.

IT WAS A CRY OF THE UTMOST 

STATE OF DESPAIR,

​

MY SPIRIT WAS CRUSHED

IT WAS TOTALLY BROKEN 

SO I JUST WAITED,

IN COMPLETE SURRENDER 

 TO FACE MY FATE.

OH LORD, I WAS ONLY

15 STEPS ...FROM HOME.

​​​

HERE I WAS, AFTER

SEVEN HARSH YEARS.

I  SHAMEFULLY GAVE UP,

BUT NOT GOD,

HE NEVER GAVE UP ON ME.

AND IN A MOST

UNEXPECTED WAY 

GOD BEGAN TO ANSWER MY PRAYER. 

​​

WITH RESPECT, PLEASE UNDERSTAND,

I AM NOT BEING OVER DRAMATIC,

BUT I MUST SHARE.

THIS WAS THE MOST

TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE

OF MY LIFE.

 I COULD NEVER FULLY EXPLAIN

THAT TRAGIC MOMENT .

AND I NEVER WANT TO 

EXPERIENCE THAT STATE

OF DESPAIR, EVER AGAIN.

​​

I THEN SURRENDERED,

I SAT AND WAITED. 

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG FOR,

BUT IT WAS A VERY LONG

PAUSE OF SILENCE. 

​

THEN THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED,

 

A MOST  UNNATURAL EVENT

BEGAN TO UNFOLD, OUT OF THE BLUE,

A SONG ENTERED MY HEAD. â€‹

 

HERE IS THE SONG â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹

 

IT WAS THREE  LITTLE BIRDS

BY BOB MARLEY 

​​​​​​​​​

 

 

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

 

 

​​​​

THESES ARE THE LYRICS

 

DON'T WORRY ABOUT A THING

EVERY THING WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

 

I WAS FAMILIAR WITH THIS SONG, 

I HAD HEARD IT A FEW TIMES.

BUT I DID NOT KNOW THE WORDS.

I HAD NEVER SUNG IT,

I COULD NOT BELIEVE

WHAT I WAS HEARING.

 

I PICKED UP MY PHONE

AND GOOGLED THE WORDS.

SURELY, THIS WAS NOT 

HOW GOD WAS GOING

TO ANSWER MY PRAYER?

SURELY NOT ?

 

BUT THIS SONG 

WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED

TO HEAR, IN THAT TRAGIC

MOMENT OF MY LIFE.

THOUGH I DID NOT

UNDERSTAND IT QUITE YET, 

ALL MY PRAYERS

RIGHT THEN AND THERE

WERE ABOUT TO BE ANSWERED

​

I WAS ABOUT TO RECEIVE 

MY MIRACLE HEALING 

 

 

 I SAT LISTENING TO THAT SONG

OVER AND OVER AGAIN .

I DON'T KNOW FOR HOW LONG  

BUT THE MORE I LISTENED 

THE BETTER I FELT.

 

MY STRENGTH SLOWLY RETURNED,

MY DIZZY SPELLS AND ANXIETY

SLIPPED AWAY, AND WERE REPLACED

WTH A MOST WONDERFUL 

FEELING OF OVERWHELMING

PEACE, JOY AND HOPE

 

I STOOD UP AND SLOWLY 

WALKED TO MY FRONT DOOR. 

BUT ONCE AGAIN,

THAT SOFT FAMILIAR VOICE

WHISPERED IN MY HEART

URGING ME TO GO BACK INDOORS.

BUT I WAS NOT TO SAY A WORD

TO MY WIFE

ABOUT WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED 

​

I WAS TO CONTINUE LISTENING 

TO THAT SONG IN MY HEAD.

AND JUST DO SOMETHING NORMAL.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY 

THAT SOFT VOICE 

URGED ME ONCE AGAIN

TO COMMIT TO MY PLEDGE  

​

FOR THE SAKE OF MY WIFE 

MY DAUGHTER MY GOD

AND TO MYSELF â€‹â€‹

 

I MUST NEVER 

ALLOW MY FEARS TO RULE

OVER  MY MIND EVER AGAIN 

​

BUT  THE STRANGEST THING

THAT SONG NEVER STOPPED 

PLAYING IN MY MIND

IT WAS LIKE A BROKEN RECORD

IT WOULD NOT STOP. 

​

THOSE WORDS CONTROLLED 

MY EVERY THOUGHT.

THE SONG DID NOT ALLOW ME 

TO SINK BACK INTO 

THOSE DESTRUCTIVE FEARFUL 

AND DOUBTFUL THOUGHTS 

IN FACT THAT SONG FILLED MY MIND 

AND HEART, WITH 

PEACE, JOY AND HOPE.​​​

​

DURING THAT AFTERNOON

 MY WIFE RECOVERED

IT WAS THEN THAT ​I LEARNED,

OH MY GOSH, WHEN MY 

THINKING CHANGED, IT ALSO

IMPACTED MY WIFE'S RECOVERY.

 

THAT NIGHT WHEN I WENT TO BED

THAT SONG WAS STILL 

PLAYING IN MY HEAD. 

I WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY

IT WAS STILL

PLAYING IN MY HEAD.

​BUT THEN, WHEN I GOT OUT OF BED,​

I DID WHAT I HAD ALWAYS DONE.

​

I CHECKED MY HEART 

 

I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT, 

MY HEART WAS BEATING STRONGER

IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS

I HAD NOT WOKEN 

TO  SUCH A STRONG BEAT .

AND YES THAT SONG KEPT 

PLAYING IN MY MIND.

​

I LOVE THAT SONG DON'T YOU ?

​

THREE WEEKS LATER I WENT 

FOR MY USUAL 

SIX MONTH CHECKUP

MY DOCTOR LOOKED AT ME 

AND SAID THESE WORDS

​

OH LORD, HOW I HAVE WAITED 

SO LONG TO HEAR THESE WORDS​

​

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

YOUR HEART IS BEATING

SO MUCH STRONGER 

 

I SIMPLY DON'T UNDERSAND 

​

BUT I DID...YAY!!!

I TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD. 

I  HAD FINALY LEARNED

HOW TO CONQUER MY FEARS.

I HAD LEARN'T TO

INTENTIONALLY AND DELIBERATELY

FILL MY MIND 

WITH STRONGER THOUGHTS

​​​​​​

I NOW KNOW 

I MUST NEVER ALLOW FEAR

TO RULE OVER 

MY HEART AND MIND EVER AGAIN 

 I NOW CHOOSE 

TO FILL MY HEART

WITH GODS FEARLESS LOVE,

NOT MANS DESTRUCTIVE FEAR. 

​

AS A RESULT

WITH EVERY HEARTBEAT

MY HEART IS NOW STRONGER

​​​​​​

NOW I FULLY UNDERSTAND 

BOB  MARLEYS SONG 

THREE LITTLE BIRDS 

WAS JUST A GREAT EXAMPLE 

TO FILL MY MIND 

WITH STRENGTHENING THOUGHTS

​​​

I ALSO PLEDGE THAT

I WILL SHARE THIS 

MESSAGE AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY 

THAT PRESENTS ITSELF 

​

THIS IS  NOW MY LIFE MISSION 

​

COULD YOU PLEASE 

TAKE A MOMENT AND LISTEN

TO MY SONG

I CREATED THIS SONG 

TO DELIVER MY MESSAGE 

​

PLEASE LISTEN CLOSELY

TO THESE SIMPLE WORDS 

THIS SONG IS A GREAT TOOL

TO SHARE MY MESSGE 

​

IT'S JUST  A  DEMO,

I AM STILL WORKNG ON IT 

​

LOVE NEVER FAILS

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

YAY MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED

....PLEASE BE PATIENT 
I AM STILL WORKING ON MORE CONTENT
