Climb Every Mountain

Born and bred at the foot of Table Mountain in Garden Village, and only at the age of 59 Sheila Dawn Barties King De Bruin had her first experience on top of Table Mountain, but she was faced with many mountains of her own and now I can report with much joy of how the Lord kept her.

 At the age of 36 ten years after having me she was with child and had another baby boy called Antonio.He was with us for tree months and then died in a tragic gas accident in our house. The accident also left my mom in a coma for a month and the day she walked out the hospital the doctors called her the walking miracle.  

 Not long after that she was faced with divorce as my then alcoholic father totally let go and lost control of  himself. This was hard on all of us. A year or two after, I was in my teens and broke the news to her that I am gay and want to live my life as a woman...I know that the news hit her hard but she took it and never gave up on me. Years later she had to face another mountain saving me from a ten year drug addiction that broke us both as she had to implement tough love to save her son. She is a real life testimony of a praying mother...today I'm not only free from drugs but I found my true identity in Christ, and this all because she climbed ever mountain praying and trusting!!!
