Last week, we were privileged to read about how a young lady with sickle cell is living with the disease and her faith in God.

One thing I know for sure is that people with sickle cell are courageous and strong emotionally. Perhaps, this is because of the intense pain they live with on a daily basis and another reason among others would be the fact that they are in and out of hospital during the course of their lives.

2016, my stomach started giving me issues. I had difficulty eating and drinking anything. I felt this shouldn’t come up after being free from pain a whole year and I was offended at God. I suffered from low self-esteem, bitterness, hatred and started nursing suicidal thoughts again. I still couldn’t walk well. But the fact that I didn’t suffer any pain, I tried going out of the house. The stares I got from people were embarrassing and now the big belly and abdominal discomfort got to me.

During my constant hospital visits, , the doctor who attended to me on my first visit gave me his number. I was careful not to be a burden to him. But soon enough, I realised he was a God sent to my life in that season and for a long time to come. Some months ago, I saw a picture my mum took for reference and I realised how greatly God has healed me physically. In the picture, the whole of my back was filled with different growths here and there. And my hips and knees, my elbows weren’t spared either. But looking into the mirror, I could only find two tumor growths. One by my elbow and the other on my lower back around my spine.
