ONLY GOD COULD HAVE DONE THAT WITH MY THIN PLACE!

One day my son, Kyle, informed me he was moving to Canada, far from sunny South Africa. As I pondered my eighteen year old’s impulsive dream, I was reminded of the unmentioned Prodigal Son’s mother. Surely she must have cringed at the mistakes her son would make and tried to talk him out of his foolishness, weeping for God to intervene and knock some common sense into her headstrong child? Pretty much like I was.

Kyle’s dream was stripped away two months later when he quit his job at a 3D visualisation company one Thursday morning. He’d had enough of being the whipping boy. I was saddened his boss hadn’t grasped the depths of Kyle’s talent. But God was setting in motion a life changing miracle.

I encouraged Kyle to wash up and rush to Johannesburg with his showreel. A Cape Town production company was recruiting that afternoon. To cut a long story short, whilst impressed with Kyle’s 3D and VFX talents, they realised he’d be wasted in their 2D environment and sent his showreel to the best VFX company in South Africa. Two weeks later, Kyle and I were flying to Cape Town for an interview and flat hunting. A week later he relocated.

Kyle immediately slotted into an awesome church where his spiritual walk was ignited. Four months later he is dating a beautiful Christian girl from a lovely family (an answer to another prayer). And he’s fast proving to his employer that he’s a creative force to be reckoned with.

Only God could have done that!
