I was just 8 years old when God filled me with His Holy Spirit. I had a cruisy life at home and school and I just knew that all I had to do was pray and God heard me. A few years ago I noticed lots of bruises appearing on my body, something wasn't right. If I cut myself, I would bleed a lot. I went to the Doctors and had some blood tests . My mum got a call at 6am the next morning advising I be rushed to hospital immediately. I was not concerned, I had a real peace come over me. I was diagnosed with thrombocytopenia. The first test showed I only had 24000 platelets per microfibre of blood, a serious risk of bleeding to death if I was cut or had a hit to my head. A normal level is somewhere between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets so the Doctors were genuinely concerned. My life was suddenly full of weekly blood tests and Doctor's appointments. I grew to hating hospitals. I loved sport and this was not an option. Over the next few months I called out to the Lord and I wanted this over. I was stuck, I was going nowhere. I had a prayer & fast. The following day I had a Doctors appointment and they ended up saying I was no longer having any symptoms even though my platelets were still low. I know God had his hand in this and still does today. I am now a nurse, live a normal healthy life and I marvel at what God has done in my life.
