Call to following my loving Dad

Hello to everyone, I would like to offically invite you to follow my journey, whatever your reason may be. Welcome:)

I feel that I need to give you a bit of background infomation so that you can understand the journey I'm on, and why I'm experiencing it the way I am.

At the end of last year on the 7th of November my life changed for ever. My sister,Amber, 17 years old, went into a coma as a result of measels which then futher developed into menengitis and enkephalitis. Unknown to us at the time, the ICU staff didn't give her longer than 2 weeks to live. She was in ICU for a total of 32 days, the most difficalt days of my life, I couldnt handle even speaking to her in the begining as I just couldn't accept this... I was so overwhelmed with pain, hurt, and confusion (which is just a fancy way of saying experencing life as a "mess"). She then moved to the neurological ward for around 2 weeks and then she moved to a step down clinic as she got stronger and it seemed more like a long term thing, in total she was in a coma for around 9 weeks... the only way I made it through this whole ordeal stronger is because of God. He was always there for me never left me alone, like a loving Dad He never let me dispare for he gave us the promise that He would fully restore my sister to health, and even though many believed it was naive I clung on to that for strength and hope, what I would cling to no matter what everone else were saying, it gave me a future to keep focusing on, no matter what the doctors were saying. My Dad also comforted me, when ever I boke down, I felt him there my councelor with whom I could share everthing also knowing that he competely understood what i was going through as he knows trauma and he knows me as He created me. He surrounded me with his love, and was my solid ground when the world was spining around and around and nothing made sense and there was no physical way forward. 

It was in this time that God called me to Global Challenge, to say the least I really wasn't keen as I wanted to stay here where I have amazing friends who support and love me, where I could support my family and be with my sister. But God confirmed that this is what He wants so many times that I couldn't deny it was him. I just knew I needed to obey him even though it was a huge sacrifice for me. How can I deny the Creator of the universe, and claim that I love him the most? so I obeyed and came to Global Challenge Expeditions which was very hard but I can already see how God has used it to bless me and reveal to me things I never would have at home. He has also started healing me, for I know in his timing he wants to lift me from pain and sorrow to joy.

It was about 2 weeks into training when she woke up which is so amazing and I am so thankful to God for that, as it has since made it so much easier for me as well as just caused me to see how God really does want to and can heal, how amazing is He and what he has done for my sister and me.

As such I want to testify that "God does all things for the good of those who love him" as he has used this to give me an intimate relationshiping with Him my loving Dad, which is worth so much more than anything else... he has also blessed me with an amazing family, who has supported and loved each eachother, and has really grown our unity and love for one anothers seing what the other needs above what I/we felt like at times. What amazing friends He has blessed me with that really love and support me, he has also developed my personality through this whole ordeal...

I just want to end by saying thank you Dad for you, and you are who it is all about!

I look forward to continue sharing the rest of my journey with you, starting with India...
