When You Walk through the Fire Jesus has been protecting me since I gave my life to Him in my early teens. This was in spite of me not fully understanding my commitment and I let the world pull me away from Him. It was in 1987 when I decided to go with my boyfriend to work on a kibbutz in Israel. I was 19. We’d been living in London and wanted a complete change of life and having the Kibbutz as a base we then had a way to see the country. After we left we continued to travel a bit of the world while we were still young and had no commitments. We worked and travelled for a good part of that year and before we left, we took a bus down into Egypt for 10 days. The sites were incredible even with the heat and backpacking around with no comfort much it was still amazing. We were nearly a week in when after visiting Luxor I ended up with Dysentery after eating a dodgy meal. It was so severe I ended up stuck in a hotel bed for a few days in Haquada.

Unfaltering Faith I was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy when I was born. If you are not familiar with MD, it is a neuromuscular disease that affects muscles causing weakness (mostly in the legs.) I am 21 years old and still walking while most patients are in wheelchairs as early as age nine. In extreme cases, some children do not live past their twenties. I just wanted to share some of my life struggle to show people that God is real. I know what it is like to feel like God does not listen to prayers, but He hears them loud and clear. Honestly, we are the ones that fail to listen to what God responds back to us. Sometimes God works in pieces and when what get something other than what we ask for we pitch a fit. I’ve not been healed of this disease although I pray for it daily and I still keep my faith. We pray for God to eject us out of a situation when it strains us instead of asking for steadfastness, wisdom, and understanding to traverse the uncomfortable grounds of struggling. Jesus suffered unimaginably harsh persecution and all sorts of pain for us to have our sins forgiven. I embrace my suffering because I know this thing, I’m dealing with is only temporary.
