Problems or Opportunities

September 23, 2013

Someone said this weekend:

“I am not going to waste time telling God how big my problem is. 

I am going to invest my time telling my problem

how big my God is!”

This week has begun and I am fighting my landlord to avoid eviction.  I will be dropping an absurd amount of money to avoid getting kicked out of the house we rent.  In less than 12 days I will have to pay my next month’s rent and find money for everything else.  It will be so rough but God will see us through.

Today, I am going to share my about my origins…

I was born in Mexico City by accident as my mother went in to labor as they visited family.  I was born during the Christmas month on the year that Nadia Comaneci scored a perfect 10 and won the gold medal in the summer Olympics. I am the first of five children my parents ended up with.  One year after I was born I bit an electrical cord and fell in to a comma for three months and when I was able to come back, I was constantly ill and had to stay in medical care in the hospital for the next 24 months.  Another reason I stayed in the hospital for so long was that I had to have reconstructive plastic surgery to my mouth due to the severe burns I had suffered…  When I finally returned home, I had two siblings I had never seen. 

 

 

I grew up staying in the hospital and going through surgeries.  It was physically painful. It was even harder to cope with the loneliness and sadness of the separation from my parents and made me learn to be able live without them.  Being alone with other kids and hospital personnel was my reality.  The picture above is a picture that I have of me when I was 5 years old.  Yes I look like a trouble maker huh?

Until next time...
