Geneva Pearl Soapery

I’m not one to share much about my life I like that people have limited access to me and mine. But I was told to share my personal experience in this walk so here goes. In 2016 I was diagnosed with kidney failure at the time of diagnosis I was at 55 percent in my left kidney the right one was dead. I remember getting the news and after he said renal failure he became the teacher from Charlie Brown. All I heard was Wawa Wawa Wawa. I felt absolutely devastated wondered what I did to deserve this.

I reached out to my mom and was dismissed and she also informed my sisters that it wasn’t a big deal and that it probably wasn’t true. Now one would ask especially if you know she had to have a reason to say that yes she did that’s just her. Me and my sisters have been pitted against each other for years. So this situation was no different. So what next I leaned towards God trying to see why . I was so angry and lost because I couldn’t understand why this was happening to me. After I felt he gave no answers I turned from him lost myself in new age spiritually and opened doors that shouldn’t be opened.

In the years of this I searched and searched still feeling incomplete still no answer. I felt even more hopeless and confused in that walk. Until one day sitting on my patio smoking a cigarette and was told it’s time to come home. Hearing this I instantly felt unworthy to do so how can you accept me back after what I’ve done? God just said come get rid of everything and come back home.
So I got up and trashed all of the items from this new age stint and took it to the dumpster.

I started to go back to church talking with God. Still feeling unworthy but trying to the enemy never letting forget how I walked away. But the more I dug into the word the more I spent time with God it all became okay. I became okay with the diagnosis with being forgiven. So I spent the next four years growing and praying and preparing for the promise of a new life by way of a new kidney.

So in 2022 I was told by nephrologist it’s time to apply to get on the list. If you know nothing about this situation it’s very tedious and not everyone will be accepted. But at the time I was working but had not applied for insurance so I had to wait to do so. By January of 2023 I had my insurance and started the process. Got my appointments set up and had my interview with social worker’s and essentially the transplant board to be able to get on the list. I was told within a week I was was accepted and so elated. At this time two people expressed it was going to happen this year and as they said it I felt it as well.

I stayed in my word everyday reading talking praying. And on Sunday September 24th 2023. I received a call from a 0000 number that I was hesitant to answer because I thought it was a scam. Answered and was told to get up to the hospital they had a kidney for me.

When I say instant tears and disbelief I have never been so just excited and scared and happy every emotion all at once. I went to tell my boys called my sister Amber and began to cry and pack at the same time. When I say I did 90 on the highway please know I was, it’s Texas so that’s normal. But my brain kicked in and said we make it there so I had to slow it down a bit. I get there and it test after test. Till it’s time for the transplant I send the boys home at this point I can see the joy and worry in their eyes and didn’t want them to sit at the hospital for the next 4-6 hours of my procedure.

I say goodbye to my sisters on the phone and wheeled into the OR I see my kidney and a room full of people and I’m a little nervous but I can feel that it’s all going to be okay. That was four months ago and I now have a new life thanks to an amazing father. God was there when I couldn’t be there for myself when I lost hope. My father made a way and continues to do so. I know that so many people go through things in silence and how hard that is. It may feel like you are so alone and angry. But please know you are not we have an amazing father who is making moves for us putting everything in place all we have to do is ask.

Seek him and be patient I get the last part is so hard.
But know it comes when it’s supposed to like my new kidney. He will make a way!-
