As I look back over the years, I realize how many times I missed God's voice because I was too caught up with my trials instead of listening to what God was saying to me through my trials. I look back on those wasted moments of running after the devil trying to take back what I believed he had stolen. Only to find out that he never had it, rather God was the one who was removing and arresting some things in my life so that I could draw closer to him.

There is one experience that stands out and seals in my mind that God's voice is the deep. Eleven years ago our daughter Yasmin was only two, suddenly, one day she started seizuring. We took her to various doctors but none could tell us the cause of her seizures. The CAT Scan (CT) showed there was no head trauma, and the Spinal Tap showed no bleeding or infection in her cerebrospinal fluid. The doctors could not give us any answers except that Yasi would have to go on seizure medication, which subsequently would impair her learning ability over time. We did not want her to take this medicine so my family was in deep distress. She could not be left alone night or day because someone had to be there to help her when her seizure started. Let me interject that at this time, my wife was not saved and I was a runner. Yes, I was running from God for 11 years. Yes, I was a backslider. I began asking for prayer for her; after all, I was familiar with what God can do. It was then I started to read my bible again and praying on a daily basis. I remember a specific prayer I prayed, Lord, spare Yasmin's life and take mine instead. Life as I knew it changed. No more Friday and Saturday nights clubbing. No more hanging out with the boys drinking. I stayed home; I prayed and watched over her.I did not want anything to happen to our daughter and I was not home.

God did spare Yasi's life. He revealed to us that the cause of the seizures was the result of peanut butter and He took my life. I died to the world. He used our daughter's illness to call me to ministry. That was deep calling out to deep.
