Heaven Imparts Victory + Prayer Obliterates Selfish Indulgences That Illness Validates Embitterment = HIV POSITIVE. 10 years ago when it was revealed to me I was infected by HIV [Human Immunodeficiency Virus] I found that I had a faith that was unshakable. I did not go into mourning, nor did I feel any regrets; instead I felt purpose. I thanked God for equipping me mentally, emotionally and spiritually to deal with my diagnosis; I accepted my responsibility for failing to exercise due caution, and I determined I would take the necessary steps to ensure I would fulfill my destiny. In revealing my diagnosis to family and close friends, Ive found a strength which enables me to assure them that it is well with my soul; my entire being was and is focused on making this event one which empowers and blesses others. 10 years later Ive had my joys, frustrations and sorrows; Ive found courage to now step into my purpose. As Ive often told my mom, we cannot testify if people do not know of our tests. God has blessed me with tremendously accepting and encouraging individuals, wonderful medical support; opportunities to empower others with words as well as deeds and personal growth in all areas of my life. Ive learned that our illnesses, our personal and or professional failings; our losses in life and or love are not for our detriment. Theyre not for us to break or become embittered, theyre opportunities for us to be still; assess our weaknesses and strengths then wisely proceed in a way that empowers others to fulfill their purpose while were about ours also. Usually our weakness is our flesh and our strength is in our souls. Where these are anchored makes a huge difference in our perspectives. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Faith is a verb. Im living it. Positively.
