Dear Fans:

It’s been a tough 12 Months for me. From a near death experience to illnesses to family and personal problems one right behind the other. It often felt like (and sometimes still feels like) there was no way of escape. I became very very depressed yet I didn’t want anyone to know. Thank god for some of the people he placed in my life both old and new. They have helped me to deal with all of the ups and downs. I also want to thank god for my fans, those of you who reached out to me with encouraging words and prayers. You will never know just how much it meant to me.

When I had to have emergency surgery in January of this year, it was the most frightening experience of my entire life. I was told I had a tumor on my thyroid that was 14 centimeters long, and it was crushing my trachea (that was the reason I was unable to breathe). Aside from that I was chronically anemic and needed to have a blood transfusion. When the surgeon told me I needed to have an operation and that it was very crucial (life and death) I was a little stunned but then I was told I would have to have a partial tracheotomy and could possibly lose my voice box. My whole world came crashing down. How could I exist with no voice at all?

Well god had another plan. What the devil meant for evil, god turned it to good. I must say, when I woke up that morning after surgery, as sedated as I was, and I felt that there was no hole in my neck, I began to weep for joy. God allowed me not only to live but also to keep my voice. Or so I thought. Until the time came where the surgeon said I should be back to normal and I tried to sing again, my range and my power were gone.  My heart was broken and I felt betrayed. I went to a specialist, that a friend recommended to me, and was told one of my vocal chords was paralyzed but for some strange reason this doctor gave me hope. I began to say to myself there was no way god would take away the gift he gave me because I was faithful in using my gift.

As frustrating as it gets sometimes, I know my voice will come back better than it was before. That’s just how god is. I was reminded of the story of job. How he lost everything and god gave it back to him double.

I’m gonna get double for my trouble. And this that I have gone through will bless and deliver so many people. So if I must suffer to help my brothers and sisters then I will suffer.

I just want to thank you all for your continued support and for standing by me during this painful time. Know that I love you all!  Be blessed!

Love,

Michelle
