My Life Is A Gift, My Life Has A Purpose

Life is full of mysteries. Sometimes we feel happy then sad. We can be healthy then weak. Well it's normal as long we are on this mortal world we are subject to imperfections.

I was born with congenital anomaly that doctors at that time couldn't determined. They just always measured the size of my head. Life must go on even there was something inside my brain. No one could expect because I am healthy. Blessed with talents because I can sing, dance, cook and much more.

Year 1985, Grade II I can still recall when the first symptoms occurred. I was combing my hair when suddenly sneezed. After awhile my head was aching and felt weak. My memory became weaker to the point I could hardly understand the lessons. Sight was also affected that couldn't see far objects. As the time goes on my grades dropped. Still I kept myself strong and never told my parents about my condition. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father despite of my struggles He never leaf me.

But then the symptoms became worse that I couldn't hide my real situation to my parents. That time I was drinking when suddenly choked and felt weak. Again my head was aching and couldn't bare the pain. I was rushed to the doctor's clinic. Shocking to know the doctor was a drunkard and couldn't diagnosed. He only said I must undergone a brain surgery but gonna die. I screamed and said "I don't want to die, I want to live longer."

I don't know why but I think It's also part of my life. One of our church friend upon hearing the news told my parents that there was a "Quack Doctor." Many people was healed by him. It was funny to say we believe on this but thankful even I am not totally healed I still survived.

School days our third examination was approaching when again the symptoms occurred. This time it was more serious that I couldn't even swallowed foods and water. Still I went to school because I am the type I hate absences. I want to maintain my grades. My parents advised me to take a rest. They even sent me to the doctor. Luckily the trouble was over I was diagnosed "Hydrocephalic." A condition in which the water in the brain was in excess. If not find out right away there's a possibility I am no longer living. It's a miracle for so many years I still survive.

I know God has a purpose for me. I have to finish my mission here. I must be strong to face another challenges.

We must be steadfast to face any Giants. God is there all the time. I am one of it.

We overcame trials of our faith by exercising genuine humility. We realized that humility towards men will be the only sufficient proof that our humility before God is real.
