Now I have half a century behind me. It was 50 years of miracles. I was born in communism when the stores were empty and people waited hours to get a little food. It was a time when the socialist government was slowly forcing abortion. My parents decided to have me although they had nothing to offer me besides their love and sacrifices they had to take upon themselves. And it was the best they could offer to me. I grew up with one pair of shoes for the entire year: summer and winter the same shoes but it was beautiful summers and winters.
I remember tanks on the streets when the communist government was convincing us that there is nothing better than social justice. I was arrested by Milicja (communism law enforcement) at age 13 for walking on the street on my way back home. Apparently I was dangerous to the Polish Socialist government. I was freed from the Milicja car (we called them "suka") after 30 minutes.
I was going through finals at high school in fear that I could be drafted into the army to defend socialism from any influence of capitalism.
I was ordained when communism was over and the crazy insane free market was growing.
I have seen war between tribes in Papua New Guinea. I had to drive between bodies burned in revenge. I have had guns pointed at me.
I missed most of my family events because I was serving people. I couldn't go for my father's funeral because my visa didn't work and I couldn't leave the USA.
I have been with people leaving this world in my hands surrounded by pigs.
I have climbed glaciers and rocks.
Today when I look back, I see every single day of my life as a miracle. They happened to me from the moment I was conceived and they never stopped happening to me. All those miracles taught me one thing: "do not be afraid, I am with you."
Today I am not afraid. There is no force on this planet that can make me scared. I am not afraid of governments or extreme lefties. I am not afraid to speak up against any evil. I am not afraid to testify about God.
My fifty years of life is a gift from God so He is thr only one that I have a holy fear of.
I am not politically correct; I never will be. I don't care about feelings because they are not reasonable and very often mislead people. I am faithful to the values that my father and mother taught me. And I have only three words that always lead me: God, Honor, Fatherland.
Do not try to change me because you will not succeed.
There is only one truth and it comes from God. Anything else is only a shadow of things that pass. So today I praise God for all those miracle in my life because life itself is a miracle and everybody who acts against it acts against God. Every unborn child is a miracle and this child has a lot of miracles to experience.
Life is beautiful and mostly when it goes in the most unexpected way, because God is such a wonderful shepherd that gives us not what we want but what we need. Let us give him all glory.
