This morning I was woken up by an intense pain in my right shoulder as I moved it. It was quite a horrible experience because I've never had this pain in my shoulder before. I was quite surprised that thousands of things could flash thru my mind within a few seconds in the midst of my sleep.
'Oh, this is tendonitis! The symptoms are exactly the same with what I learned!'
'My God! I can only lift up my arm to a certain degree! How am I gonna work tomorrow? How do I take blood and do procedures to the patients...'
'I am still young! I still wanna play lotsa sports...I wanna do gymwork, I wanna resume road biking, I wanna climb more mountains, I wanna play badminton, I wanna swim etcetc...and I wanna continue to play drums and learn the guitar...awwww how am I gonna do it now? How am I gonna do it now? '
'I can't take anti-inflammatory drugs because I've got weak stomach from drinking too much coffee. Awww...that means I have to cut down my coffee! And from tmrw onward I will work overnight for 7 nights, that is bad BAD for my stomach as well.....
(shoulder ache) versus (gastric pain+NO coffee)? Awwwwwww I am not gonna take anti-inflammatory drugs.'

Then God began to speak through His Word (the Bible) as I flipped to one of the pages.
Isaiah 41:13 -14 ' "For I AM the Lord , your God,who takes hold of your RIGHT HAND and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I Myself will help you," declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One.'
Wowwww...He mentioned my RIGHT HAND, did you see, my RIGHT HAND! I was quite excited and amused when I read that, because it was my right arm that ached. My God cares about me, even before I prayed.
And yea, God was not wrong at all to call me worm and little...my faith was as little as a worm, until He spoke to me.Well, I am just a human...mortal and imperfect.
So, I know all things will turn out well. I know I will be alright, maybe God is using this to warn me about my coffee intake... =)
(To be continued...)

hey,
i am back again, how are you feeling now? good? hmm that must be because you slept on the wrong side of the bed so to speak. But i reckon being paranoid sometimes does help aye. Well, i would have to disagree on the bit God was by your side then. I think your thoughts would have been contraty if your left hand was affected. I believe that for you to come to the thought of moving on and getting the solutions to the necessary ailment, thats where god was. He was gving you the thought. Like i once said.. you decide your pathway and He guides you thru it.
Hope you are doing alrite again. Take care and be less of a caffiene addict... Hugs.
