Greetings from Belgium, i just want to share with you
An experience i had a month ago, it has taken me time to
Write but i was trying to keep it short.
I believe that miracles happen from God to those who
believe, some people call it luck i call it God's favor
or mercy or miracle.
I am raised in a Christian family, and in my life i have
seen miracles happen, the recent one that happened to me was
on 9th April when i was in jail locked up abroad awaiting
deportation from the Netherlands because my residence permit
was 3months expired and i had no means of renewing it, i had
two options to stay illegal or go back to Kenya my home, my
family back in kenya are depending on me, so going back to
Kenya empty handed was the worst tragedy that would hit me
and my family, I asked my mother to pray for me that i had no
residency.
The police picked me up and i stayed in jail for
2days in a dark room, where i could not know if it was night
or day, i was so scared, of the dark room, police around me,
and being deported empty handed. I was allowed to make one
call only, so i called a Belgian lady i met online on an aupair website, then we met once in February. she has a little daughter she wanted me to take care of, i
called her and told her that am being deported and i will
Communicate with her when am in Kenya since am
Unreachable. Before she said anything the police snatched the
phone from me and that was it.
I cried, but to who?? No one would hear me, I had no
phone, no shoes, no communication, i could only cry to God, my
creator, I cried to God in jail these were my words upon
realizing that my fate was sealed and that i was just
waiting for the plane, i was transferred to a high detention
centre together with hardcore criminals.
I said to God from deep my spirit'' I am a human, i
have done my best, coming to Holland was first a
miracle and since i got to see and to have knowledge,
i have always believed that YOU GOD is real and is
existing, if You really do exist, Don’t let me be deported for
the sake of my poor family, if You are God i have
always trusted and Mighty as i have all my life believed,
then save me, i don't know how but if You are real i
know You can!!'' I was filled with anger at the same
time at God, i asked Him haven't i suffered enough??
Doesn't He see?? Isn't He merciful and Faithful??
I said to myself, i will never talk about God if He did not
deliver me, because hen i would change my belief that there
is no God, and never worship Him, I was bitter at God and
Desperate at the same time, deep inside i felt some comfort
in the midst of the uncertainties
That was my prayer.
On Friday 9th April at 9pm the officers came to tell me
that the Belgian Government have accepted me in Belgium
Without a visa based on the contract that the lady presented
to them that she is hiring me as an aupair, she made a
thousand calls between international police and government
and emails trying hard to get me out, i did not know all
these was going on in just one day!!
The lady i met only once, she pushed herself for a stranger, ''GOD
SENT HER TO RESCUE ME'' She drove 4hrs left a baby
alone for a stranger in prison.
This is my belief; God is real, so real that i cannot
Explain, I could not believe i was walking out of that
tightly secured prison at Schipol Airport.
Not only did i walk free, i had a job and a 1year residence
permit for European Union, a place to stay, everything
changed upside down, from a jobless illegal homeless
lady.
Surely God is faithful.
