Last night, I sat here thinking about this forum and the apparent upheaval that has occurred since GC ended. There have been so much negativity and infighting, which could leave many lurkers and newbies to believe that this forum resembled one big gossip mill; therefore, I wanted to share how God has moved in my life since I became a member here on AFF.
Many of you know what my state of life was like when I first found this place. I was diagnosed with AIDS and had a series of ailments, which left me hopeless, depressed and wanting nothing more than to just stop fighting and die.
But, God had different plans for me and today my life was nothing like it was earlier this year. God had allowed me to connect with people here that prayed for and with me, so that I would no longer be enslaved by the disease that robbed me of my humanity.
Several people gathered in July to witness my re-baptism; trusting that God would perform a miracle in my spiritual and physical life. Immediately following my re-baptism, I knew once again what it felt like to be a new creature in Christ. Slowly, my strength had returned and I started venturing out into society again and I have been walking in a God's light ever day.
Today, I am not on any disability; I am not depressed; I am not sick; I am free! I look in the mirror and I see the miracle of God staring back at me!
I am now employed AGAIN and I have been working everyday for the last couple of months, which has allowed me to share my testimony to many people. I went back to work for a company that I had worked at for several years and people have been shocked to see the miracle God did in my life. Even though, I still have the virus in my system, I am still holding on to my complete healing in Jesus' name!
Even now, I am moved to tears just thinking of the goodness and mercy of God. I no longer hide from people, but look forward to each and everyday that I have on this earth.
I couldn't imagine what today would look like for me if it wasn't for me finding this forum and the many friends who believed in a miracle for me. Also, I wanted to thank the owners, admins and moderators for AFF that made all of this possible.
God bless you and bring overflowing joy and peace to each of your lives.
