Just Fine

Today, early in the morning, for a change from yesterday and the day before's kind of situation, I woke up feeling just fine. At first I was trying to feel it out, thinking maybe the sick feeling was just on its way, but there was none. And oh am I so thankful and glad! I really thank God for restoring my health and my strength even though I haven't specifically prayed for it.

But the painful throat is still present. Now I wonder what the cause of it really is. Last night someone told me that it could possibly be toncilitis, but it doesn't seem to be like it. I am just clueless because often whenever I experience something like this, a cold would follow, but until now, I have no evident signs of colds. Every now and then though, sometimes I would have something in my nose, or it would be clogged. Well anyways, I don't want to confuse myself or anybody else any further. I just hope this pain goes away and follow the weak sensation that went with it two days ago.

The only medicine I took was one capsule of a body pain reliever last night. I bought it off the pharmacy in the street on the other side of the block across our house. And the pharmacist, whether he really is, or not, was a little bit cranky. If not, haughty. I was just a bit perplexed at why he answered me as if I were a nonsense know-nothing when I asked him if I could buy half the blister pack. Of course, naturally, you can buy per piece, why not half the pack?, were his words in an unfriendly tone. Seriously, he sounded obnoxious. Well I hope it was just his tone and manner in speaking. OK, well, no big deal.

I woke up today earlier by thirty minutes than yesterday's wake up time. And it was not because the sickness wouldn't let me sleep any longer. Right now, I am feeling strong. I'm glad it didn't get worse and become a fever or something else. I was just so scared that a lot of things are going through my head yesterday and especially last night. I was afraid it was just the start of the onset of a disease, or a recurrence of one I've had before. Oh, God let not that happen!

Now I'm trying to discipline myself and not drink cold water or juice too much. Or if I can, not at all. So in general, I'm now reducing my consumption of cold drinks and treats, even if the summer heat is still high up and kicking. Just so I would help my throat to get better. I would be the worship leader on Sunday after all.

On that topic, well, last Sunday was originally supposed to be my turn on the pulpit. Sadly, while we were waiting for our guitarist to come (he was extremely late that day) the power went down. There was a blackout. And it was taking us all so great a deal of time, so we had to start our worship service by singing hymns a capella instead. It was all just fine to me. I know everything is God's will. For His children including me.

So this is a thankful day, and a hoping day likewise. Thankful that I feel restored, hoping that the pain in my throat would be gone. But soon it would only be thankful.
