Bible Note: My Pen name is not what I am?? Is that a good thing or bad?? This I got to know. Hear my testimony. At the age of thirteen, I was diagnosed with a blood deficiency, Sickle Cell Anemia. When I say that I can relate to your pain, trust me with this, I’ve been living with it all my life. The doctors told me that by the time I hit my late twenties, I’d have no control of bodily functions, mentally or physically. They said that I wouldn’t survive my early thirties. God had a different set of plans. I’m thirty-nine, I have complete control of my body, and the only one who thinks I’m mentally challenged is my wife, but hey what do she know?? I’ve been happily married for ten years plus. That was a hard decision for my wife. She had to face the fact that one morning when she woke up; I might not be there. We married anyway. I still go through what is medically called a Sickle Cell Crisis. Bill Cosby was described labor pains this way, he said take your bottom lip and stretch it over the back of your head, then you’ll get and idea of what labor pains feel like. What I go through is two to three times worse than labor pains. God has used my illness to draw me closer to Him. I am a living example of His grace and mercy. But for all the pain that we go through, that does not compare to the suffering of the unsaved. I wouldn’t wish my illness on my worst enemy; therefore I would have no problem jumping whatever hurdle necessary to get the gospel across to anyone who listens to me. Seems like we have a number of things in common. The CurtMan |
