My name is Shekinah, im 30 years old today I would love to share my story with you, how God delivered me from sickle cell anemia. My father being a doctor, it was diagnosed from birth. At my tender age, I was always in the hospital, and could not play as my mates. I always had to stand in a corner or sit quietly somewhere becoz the least movement could result in many days of torture and suffering. To calm the pains, i was either taking drips or injection. my brothers too use to massage me, when it was really like not alleviating the pains. I can still remember quite well, when once I was in class one, our sport teacher came and presented himself. He said we had to meet him the next day in the field with our sport attire. I was very excited about it, and went home rejoicing. When I saw mum that day, it is the first thing I told her, to buy a sport attire for me, coz I was to do sport on the next day. I can still remember the next day in the morning I came to her and asked her about it, she just said she is really sorry, but she completely forgot about it, and she added moreover baby, u cant do sport. I went to school, and became so envious of all my friends playing and jumping in the field. The more I grew, the more intense and unbearable the pains became. My father is a medical doctor so I was always spending sleepless nights under a drip, or receiving an injection, words cant explain that kind of pains. I always was asking God why me??? Why not my brother or my sister, who had to spend most of their time massaging me to ease the pain a lil…. Few years later, mummy came to know the Lord, and she preached the gospel to my Father. Few years later, we moved from catholic church to eglise Evangeline, believing that only Jesus could make a change in my life. They both gave their lives to Christ few years later. We often attended crusades, conferences, for me to be prayed for. That was the main reason at the beginning. I was just following them there, but had not yet taken that decision of receiving Jesus in my life. Couple of years went by, and I made the decision to give Him a try. I said after all, I loose nothing trying, instead, if it works, ill be fine for the rest of my days. From the, I was not just following them to those programs, but I had faith to be healed. Time went by, and God laid in our hearts to change church, and that's how we found ourselves in Full Gospel Mission. One fateful Sunday, the pastor preached a message that triggered my healing. He said it is not all about going to church, but God saved us to serve Him. As such, we must all be busy serving Him in one way of the other, and not just be Bench warmers. He cited the example of a lady who had back problems, and she was in the cleaning department. The more she did that, the more the pains increased. But she remained faithful and God healed her. After seeking the face of God, I felt He expects me to serve Him in the interpretation department of the church, and I started doing it. Ive been doing it for over 15 years today. The more I did it, the more the pains grew. Day by day, I was smiling and jumping in church following the speaker, but later in the day at home, I was crying , and almost dying under the pains. Mum always told me please baby be careful whenever you are up there. You know u are not like others. And I always replied we are told to follow the speaker in everything. I prefer doing that and dying if necessary before God doing what I'm expected to do, and nothing less. When I got accustomed to the bible, whenever I was prayed for, I made sure to always testify after about my healing, and later on to go for an electrophoresis test. You know the bible rightly said in Revelation 12:11 they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony. At last, the miracle occurred. A day like the others, I was prayed for, I testified and later on did my test in two different hospitals, the result was the same. From SS to AA !!! It has been a very long journey with the Lord, and not an easy one, but He gave me the victory sooner than I ever expected it. I thought when ill be around 80 or 70 like that, He'll feel sorry for me and heal me, but He surprised me indeed !!!! What is beautiful in this walk with God is He is with you all the way, and even before I got healed, I no longer had sleepless nights becoz prayers helped to ease the pain and I always slept off … Fear not if you suffer these pains, and let my testimony not frighten you as well. God works in different ways with us, He might want to proceed differently with you. what matters is 1- Do you want it? 2- Do you Trust Him enough with your life? 3- Do you believe He can do it? Just give Him the rightful position in your life, receive Him as your personal Lord and savior, and start this journey with Him. DON’T SPEND THE REST OF YOUR DAYS IN SUFFERING? GET TO GOD AND THAT SICKNESS WILL GO AWAY….. Today I still am a church Interpreter, but more to that, I'm a Conference Interpreter! God used my church ministry to make me what I am today. As such, I consider it a blessing to have suffered from sickle cell, becoz it opens to me many doors, that otherwise I would not have had access to ! PRAISE JEHOVAH … MuzicAly Sound Production Looking to reach more natural music fans, MuzicAly Sound Productions, a privately owned business that performs the hit single "Curls", founded in 2012 by self taught singer, song-writer and audio engineer, Aly of MuzicAly Sound Productions, which started after Aly himself wrote, performed and produced his own album "Made From Scratch". Shiral, who in 2013, joined MuzicAly Sound Productions as a vocalist, co-producer/musical consultant and public relations representative. The striving bartender also attended world renowned Duke Ellington High School in Washington D.C. and majored in music performance. While self-employed physical trainer, health consultant & caregiver Aly paves the way for the currently professional musicians/producers & entrepreneurs. Aly, has performed and been featured on blogs, websites and radio stations both in the U.S and Jamaica, and has released numerous singles with Shiral. MuzicAly Sound Productions has improved vastly from creating music as a hobby in an apartment building in 2012, to having music featured on radio stations, Natural Hair conventions, and successfully producing tracks for upcoming artists. They’ve also been approached by prominent artists and are in the beginning stages of producing music for them as well, however, within the next five years, the plans for MuzicAly Sound Productions includes starting a full size recording studio which will be used to help uplift others with their positive music as well as become a breaking ground to other artist as they discover positive talents in the black community. Rarely passing up an opportunity to work on a project or prioritize music ahead of parties, the main challenges MuzicAly Sound Productions face were having adequate time to focus on their craft, and gaining proper exposure for already written and produced material. “In today's society, it's very difficult to get your name/brand out to the public without the support of a music label or celebrity mogul behind you.” However, music is our entertainment and therefore they are committed to continuing their goal of reaching the world through continuous hard work and dedication. Like many artists, music is a passion but, unfortunately, not the only means of income. “So, our passion is sometimes pushed to the back burners while paying bills and attending school moves to the front.” In 2014, MuzicAly plans to continue collaborating with other artist such as, New Jersey rapper, Dre Skuffs, Jamaican songwriter/singer Mortimer McPherson, German singer Mehira, DC Rapper J.P and Shiral to create more influential music. Music workshops in England are also in the works and they are very excited to see what the future holds. Listen to hit single Curls
