Testimony of Susan
Praise God beloved ones!
I am Susan almost 20yrs old, from Kenya saved and focused in my salvation. For sure, I have a reason to boast in Him who accepted me and loved me the way I was. No one else but our Darling Saviour Jesus Christ.
I am here to encourage my dear brothers and sisters. I have tested and lived a life of miserable. My parents died when I was very young. My Dad was poisoned in the alcohol by His brothers 1989. He had five wifes and my Mum was a fourth wife. We started living a terrible life. My step mothers did not like my mum because she was a christian. They chased us from the house that we were living in, they warned mum from planting anything in the shamba. Oh God, we had no one to defend us.
Mum was just a housewife, my brothers was jobless for they did not even finish their education. We could stay without food for almost a month, we could only cook bean's leaves eat and drink water only supper. My step mothers was going to witchcraft for my mum to die and leave us alone. in 1990, my mum started being sick terribly. We could not take her to the hospital for the lack of money. Her stomach started swelling you could think she is pregnant. My brothers could go and do some contract to people's land so that they buy medicine for her. The situation worsened, my elder brother decided to sell the piece of small land Dad had given him to build his house so that he can take mum in the hospital.
The doctor could not find any sickness in her. They only operated her and only water came out of her stomach. I was young but able to know how tough life is. They took mum back home atleast feeling well. Within a month, Mum started swelling her stomach, legs, hands and was very weak. She came tired of praying, She could only cry and tell God to take her life. We could all cry in the house together with mum.
In 1995 Monday February at 7pm, Mum called me and told me, My young daughter, take courage and be strong. I asked mum am not understaning what you are saying, she said God told Joshua to be courageous and strong to lead the children of Israel after Moses death. I could not hold tears from my eyes. She told me Susan, we have visitors today, I want you to go to the kiosk and tell that shopkeeper to give you kerosene we will pay him later. I said Mum, it is already late. She said if my daughter you love me, take the jerican and go for kerosene. I went in tears.
When I was just in the kiosk, in painful moment, my mum died. It is with great pain finding mylife with no one to care. Life was terrible as young as I was.
My sister who was married, took me to go and stay with her. She had one daughter and one son. We started life with my wounded heart, not knowing what to do. in 1999, again my sister with her husband died. There I am left with the children. Oh God is this fair? I could ask God. Better you take my life and let me rest. That could not move God anymore.
We were forced to go back home and stay with my elder brother. There was no peace in the house, I was made as a slave in the house, because I had nowhere else to run to. I endured in all and patiently waited upon God to intervene. I finished my Primary exams and passed well whereby I was supposed to join secondary school. When I asked my brother to take me to secondary school, his wife refused and said that I am supposed to get married because there no space for me in their house. Oh God here again I was young and knowing nothing about marriage. Now with no doubt or question, I surrendered to God everything and told Him if now you cannot provide a way for me, who else shall provide.
I wake up one day took my belongs and went to one of my sister. She welcomed me and we started life peacefully. I was serious in seeking God, she came to a point and told me no more going to church, no more praying in my house, no more singing praises in my house. Oh God are you a life? I could ask; I decided to go and work as a housegirl. God was there, I could go to church, and do anything that was pleasing God. When I had enough money to do something, I decided to come back home and train tailoring with the money.
I came and requested my sister to stay with me for the moment I will be training, she accepted. It was terrible, sometimes I could not be given food, clothes and other needs. I told God to give me patient until I finished my course. She told me now look for some place to stay. I was unable to move coz I had nowhere to go. One day when I was coming from the fellowship, I found my clothes outside. I took them and went to sleep with one of my friend. The following day I went to look for a rental house single room that I will be able to stay there alone. I found it and even it is where am staying now. I have that wounded heart but God is healing me and rebulding my peace once again. Nobody care nor bothers about me, only God. He is filling that emptiness in me. Since my childhood, I have not find that love and care from anybody. I rejoice and thank God that for I know, He knows why all these things happen in my life. I am staying alone with hope and trust in the Lord knowing that one day one time my sister and brother will come to be suprised with what God would have done in my life, and I believe they will get saved through it.
I just encourage my beloved that God is always there for us. His delay is not denial. He comes on His own time and season. Better He finds you still holding on His word.
God bless!
GOD Bless
