Life is Good!

Aha!, There I was last post yapping about how much I had danced and all the fun I was having; litlle did I know that I was in for a shocker the following week! Actually, it was the same week.
It seemed to come suddenly out of the blues with little warning, carrying the threat of death and destruction in its wake. It left me breathless, temporarily lifeless and wondering if this was it!

I had woken up very early as usual that day and felt the rumble in my tummy was reaction to the 'egusi' soup and fish of the previous day but by day's end I knew I was in trouble. I had horrible cramps in my stomach and could hardly walk. I spent the night in the toilet and by the following day I was like someone else. The symptoms seemed to be mocking the Dr's prescription, the more I took the drugs, the worse I became, I went off food, and everything life sustaining, I just had enough strentgh to hang on from one bowel movement to the next. After a while it actually felt like my bowels were coming out!
Before you coul say, 'cramps', I was in shock, blood pressure gone, pulse gone and life on its way out! But what do you know? Jehovah Rapha, my Healer had other plans for me. He stooped down, took me by the hand, lifted me up and set my feet upon the solid rock and here I am, back on my feet again. Ready to rock and roll into the festivities once again.
I managed to achieve a feat my gym instructor would give his left arm for ( I wish). I lost all of seven+ kg in four days. As of this morning my skirts and trousers are dropping off my waist and my daughter says I look taller! That seems to be the only 'good' to have come out of this, but believe me, I'd much rather have kept my fat! Especially since I'll put it all back before the season is over.
So join me folks in giving praise to the One who always has mercy on me, my Redeemer, Healer, Friend, Lover, LORD, Master, Deliverer; Jesus my number One. I offer you my life, LORD

Shalom!
