Yes, do you see that SMILEY face, the photograph was taken the day i was going to be discharged. All i know is my GOD IS REAL and SO SO PERSONAL. The day i was wheeled out of my room for my surgery, i closed my eyes as i was afraid i would be dizzy. I really do not know which way they pushed me when i was wheeled out of my room to the OT, so when they stopped a while, i just pry open my eyes a little, and God showed me this SMILEY FACE.......I smiled as i knew it was HIS way of telling me HE is with me and I should not fear. As i reflected the following day (still not fully recovered the GA), it was so awesome to REALISE, KNOW and MARVEL how DETAIL sweet Jesus is, He even knows the exact timing and where i would open my eyes and allow my vision to cast on something that means something to me. You see last year when i went for a mission trip in Medan, i bought about 50 pieces or so of these SMILEY badges for children. I organised printing of the word "I LOVE JESUS" as a sticker for the kids......thus it was something i liked.
Well, you want to know how great my God is, and how He prepares me all the way for my surgery. Well, i should check myself into a single room with a view of a courtyard. I was the 4th patient to undergo surgery for that day. It rained quite a bit, and i said quietly if He would slow down the rain as Linda and Elizabeth, my cheerleaders were going to come and pray for me before i got wheeled in. It was probably about past 7 or 8am, i just walked over to the window and looked outside, my eyes shifted to the sky and GOSH i see a rainbow, not one but 2! Rainbows is something i really like. There are times when i am not sure what i am doing is right or in his will or not and I have asked God to let me know and show me a rainbow, so when i see one i know He is telling me it is alright, it is ok.
I just told my friend Michelle that there was praise music when i entered the operating room and she was not sure if it is really possible, i said yes. You see the surgeon who slit my throat Dr Koay is a believer too, and the nurse who was plugging me with all the gadgets when i was on the operating table was wearing a cross too, now how more comforting can that be. The funny thing is the evangelist in me did not stop working. I asked the nurse and then the anasthestist if he too was a christian and he said no, proudly dr wong says "free thinker". I told him as briefly as i could, not yet. I said watching black and white tv might be ok, but once you get to color tv, you will never want to go back to black and white, thats what it is when you become a christian.
God is so good, though the BP was erratic and concern, the doctors knew what they were doing. Praise GOd from where all blessing flow. I was discharged with medication only for antibiotic and pain killers. My levels were ok and i did not need any thyroxin, not yet anyway. I now resolve to leave it to GOD for a good report when i visit Dr Koay for removal of my sutures and get the lab results. I thank God for Linda and Elizabeth, my cheerleaders. I thank God for my first born for her volunteering to staying over throughout the trip and for julian and dwyane and michelle for visiting.
Thank you Lord also for preparing me to discover reading that there is a TREE of LIFE in the book of Genesis as well as the book of Revelations. To me that revelation was like you God preparing me......just in case something happens. It was double confirmation that should i meet you prematurely i know and i know there is really a beautiful heaven there. Father i thank you because you know all my heart's concern and everything and everything. you are indeed a ONE TRUE COMPASSIONATE and LOVING GOD and ABA FATHER, I LOVE YOU................
