I remember that morning very well. We were up for morning
exercise, having fun playing ultimate frisbee. I ran wholeheartedly to grab it,
my beautiful bunk maid ran to the same direction, we smashed into each other and
I was down. My physiologist friends came to check on me, I was fine, nothing
has broken.
15 minutes later, I was walking and arggggg!!! I saw my bone
on my shoulder popped to the front where it shouldn’t be. Everyone just left,
there was me on the field, I held my breath and my right arm, walking as
fast as I could to catch my classmate who was going to cross the street. I
called him as I was laying down on the ground, fainted, hurt, and couldn’t
move. I heard they called the ambulance, I heard they prayed over me. The
ambulance came, they gave me something to inhale, smell not very pleasant. They
called me but I didn’t answer. I didn't know when I arrived the hospital, I was half awake half sleep. The nurse gave me
morphine, x-ray and x-ray an another x-ray, and I was waiting patiently for the doctor. During that process, they
kept asking me the same questions over and over and over and over again and all
I could think was “ just pop it back and stop asking me, I am freaking in pain” but I could not do that, all I did was answering their questions with small
breathing in and out and having light headed. Morphine was working! It also felt very comforting when the nurses were around but when they left, the sadness was
entering in and I suddenly felt the presence of God and his whisper, “Daddy
is here, don’t be afraid, daddy is here” So I talked to Him, “ Help me, for I
don’t like being so much in pain like this, put me to death would be easier but
if you want me to live, I don’t want to live with pain, help me!”
“Have patience” I believed the Holy Spirit tried to
communicate to me that moment.
God is my comforter.
I was still waiting for the doctor, it was the worst part..but
the best part was the morphine that kept me high. Doctor came in, finally, praise
the Lord! She talked to me and popped my shoulder back within 5 minutes. The
nurse came after to give me instructions. I didn’t really know what was going
on. Hayley, the staff who was there the whole time, I told her that Matt. 10:10
became real to me that morning, not because of morphine, but God came to give
me life and to live it to the fullest!
A week later after I dislocated my shoulder, it has been
really rough. I am right handed and now I have only left hand to do everything.
It’s pretty challenging to eat with left hand. I overdid everything and refused
to ask for help while my classmates were taking a very good care of me. I was
being so hard on myself. I was sad, lonely and waiting patiently for God to
answer why everything was taken away from me. One day, He spoke to me directly,
“Because I want to give myself to you, Ja” It was a mind blowing revelation for
me. That night, He became my lover. His love is like fire and all I want to do
is to fall more in love with Him.
The next day He gave me a word “ Receive” He wanted me to
receive all that He has for me.
I’m being nice to myself now and receiving help from others.
God has helped me to overcome the frustration of having one hand and unable to
do things as I used to do.
He is my helper.
