[size=+0]In Novemeber of 1990; I contracted the HIV virus from A guy I was in loved with while in a backslidden state. When I was pregant with my daughter in 1991 the doctor told me I needed to follow up why I was having some many infections. My mother and I laughed it off, I told her the doctor was trying to say I had AIDS. In the summer of 1993, I started to get sick I contracted pnemonia which was hard to get rid of, then I felt like I was dying. At this time I had came back to the Lord and was preparing for ministry. I was looking for a church building. When I found out that I was HIV positive and at that time there was only one type of drug to use and that was AZT and it prolonged your life by six months, I thought everything was over. I didn't want to die my daughter was only 18 months old at the time. The doctors told me to prepare for my funeral. This was in 1993; God spoke a word through one of his prophetess that " shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord". I contacted every prayer line I knew of and asked people to pray for me. The doctors told me I would be a vegetable, they said I would have to go into a nursing home, they said I would not be able to drive. God reversed everything they said. I drove out of town, I did bookkeeping work, I did the payroll. In 1993 the doctor told me I only had three more productive years to live. God proved him wrong again. I got married, had a baby, about to get a divorce but thats okay. Worked part time and full time. Now in 2004, I work part time about to restart the ministry and I am looking for better and bigger things in God. I just want to encourage someone today that no matter what your situation is or how it looks God is in control. We have a King that sits on the throne that is in charge of everything and his name is J E S U S!!!! He can do anything but fail. We can't look at our situations but we have to look at him who is the author and finisher of our faith. God is so Good. If you ask me do I take medicine, I do but many have took the medicine and are gone. God have mercy on me and spared me. I didn't do anything good, I still struggle , make mistakes, fall down but its just God's grace. He gives me the grace to get up and start again. He loves me in spite of myself. When you are asking God to do something in your life don't look at your abilities. Its God's grace and favor that blesses us. Remember he is no respector of person if he did it for one he will do it for another but you have to have faith. Trust him at his word and walk in it. Keep on praising God for what he has already done. I hope this testimony blesses someone.
