God's timing!

I am sitting in my living room waiting for my sister, who is visiting me for the weekend, and in the mean time I decided to check on my last entry on this blog.
I realized it has been awhile since I dropped some lines.
To start off, I must say that this year has been the greatest year of my whole life. Even when I was sick like crap! Last time around this blog, I posted a couple of videos and a few random comments about Niles and Jorrel. Two guys from the States working for different NGOs we, at FSD, have partnership with. After that, life was running pretty much as expected till I was invited by my friend Brian to share with him one of the greatest moments in his life. His wedding! It was such an honor for me and needless to say I was a bit shocked at first. Obviously, I said I would love to, but the only thing that could ruin this moment in time was me applying for the American tourist VISA and get rejected. My VISA was denied once, so I was a little concerned about it, however, God works in mysterious ways…HE made it and I got it! I was so excited after the interview that the first thing I did once approved was calling my mom. It was hilarious because she picked up the phone and then I was not able to say a word but to cry like a small baby. She was so confused and almost scared….until I finally explained the situation to her and she began crying with me. That situation brought me back to my first final test in College. Applying for a US VISA is like a final test. You study a lot but if what you say is not what the teacher is expecting then you are screwed.
I was happy but it took me a lot of time to digest what had happened and where I was going.
Unfortunately, I got sick a month prior to my departure. I was diagnosed hepatitis! I won’t go thru the first stages of the illness, but I cannot put into words my frustration. I decided to go back home so my family would take care of me. I was not allow to walk, just to stay in bed and beating myself up trying to find out how the heck I caught it. Bottom line is six days before leaving for the States (that would be August 4th), I ran some blood tests and I was totally clean. Believe me when I say God works in mysterious ways. I still have my doubts I had hepatitis. I don’t think it is possible to recover only in 25 days, but I won’t question God’s decisions. So, the day arrived. I took my plane on August 4th to Miami and from there to Atlanta and then….
I will write about my trip to the States in my next entry…but I was four days ago until I realized that my all time dream had came true…
