Death In God's Terms

"When God had saved your life twice, what would you have learned from it? 

Would you think you were made to do something? An impact to the world in a big way? 

A difference to the community around you?

Why would you think God had allowed death to come near but not near enough to touch you?

When you see death pass you like a fleeting moment, you appreciate life a bit more, you depend on God's intervention for circumstances to come.

Your life belongs to Him."

Seems like a dry, morbid poetry. But one's experience can make one wonder of the many reasons of being alive.
Death in God's terms is the best gift of departure anyone could have. Because the truth is, God knows us best and it will be the way that we can come in terms with.
Do not believe in premature death that people might have spoken over your life. Reject in Jesus name and commit it to God for He is the Author and the Finisher of your faith.

With all that is going on in the world,  nothing feels safer than in the arms of God. 

Pain Threshold leads to God Dependence

Recently it dawned on me that my threshold for pain is huge. Well, in my definition at least. Since I was small, I barely complain of being sick or in pain. I remembered when one of my teeth was about to fall out like hanging by a string, I didn't tell my parents and pull it out myself. I think I never have gotten down to telling them.

I have quite a number of stories but the most recent, I was on my way back from Sydney with friends. when we were just half an hour away from landing at Kuala Lumpur, my ears and my head was hurting as if a bomb was going explode inside my head. My nose was also experiencing tightening. I had no idea what's happening, the pain was excruciating I thought I might die if something did burst inside me and yet I didn't call out for help. Neither did I show the extent of my pain to my friend, so no one took it seriously.

I bent down my head and stayed still as best as I could, breathing extremely slow because every breath I took it makes the pressure and pain in my head worse. In all this turmoil, my spirit cried out to God for help, a cry of helplessness and fear. Telling him "please make it stop, I don't know how to shout for help", "the pain is killing me and I have not felt this before".
Moments later, it subdued a little, I could move a little, I didn't know how to sit or even to breathe for that matter, afraid the attack will come back.
God knew and understood who I am and what I was not able to do. He healed me from whatever that might have happened. He intervened for if He did not and I remained in that pain, I wouldn't be able to get off the plane like a normal person.  Those 15min of excruciating torment made me feel alone and unsure of what's next.

I'm truly grateful for His understanding and intervention. I consider this experience as God saving me again.

My life is His and truly I submit this body of mine to Him. I will accept only His time for my departure away from this earth to my heavenly home. I can only pray that I will be able to do my best to care for the body He has given me.

And just recently I researched and found out its called aerosinusitis. If you Google it, you would be able to find out more. A good awareness for people with sinus.

Head Injury Deterred

A sudden loud glass shattering sound came from below. I ran downstairs thinking if Daddy has fallen or dropped something. Trying find the source of the sound, I came to my piano room. Here's the damage:

Glass table was broken

The ceiling fault area

God saved me again. The very spot I sit while teaching kids at the piano, is the exact spot the big piece of white cement fell on. Recently we moved the glass table in the room, therefore with little space, I end up sitting at the edge of the table while overseeing my students play the piano. My title says head injury deterred,but I wondered if God saved me from death. Again.

I went upstairs and said a little thank you to Daddy in heaven for literally watching over my head or shoulders. Literally calculating the distance and the impact towards either my head or shoulder if I was sitting there working.

My heart may skipped a beat but the same time a heave of gratefulness / relief seeps in.

Other times He Saved me.
Escaped Death Through His Peace

God Saved Me From Being Blind

I Escaped Death Through His Peace

     A few blog post away, I wrote about how God saved my life or my face during a car accident. Rewinding further back till my early teens. I had another divine intervention and for this reason, I’m still in one piece today.

I had just taught a good friend of mine how to ride a bicycle for a few days and she was ready to go on the road. Guys and girls of her neighbourhood got together and we went bike riding around Hillside, Tanjung Bungah. I think there were around 6 of us. My friend and I borrowed bikes from the neighbours.

    

We came to a part where it was quite hilly but steep and we were at the top of it. I forgot to mention that my friend who had just learn to cycle, was having the bicycle with a little brake malfunction. For the brake to work, you have to brake earlier than usual. Anyway, we were deciding to go down hill, it was pretty steep. I was game for the thrill but then my friend said she didn’t dare because of the brakes. So I offered to change my bicycle with hers thinking that I would probably handle the bike better, and not knowing the science of gravity hard enough, I went ahead with it.

     As for the science of gravity, we all know that with high speed, faulty brakes probably don’t work that well. And that’s exactly what happened. I could not slow down, I was going in high speed down the hill into a road of passing cars,

I tried to slow down the speed with my slipper(never wear slippers for outdoor activities like this), my toe bleed abit, I couldn’t do more. My only option was to pray and hope I don’t bang into any cars. As I was nearing the main road, I had a sudden peace that came over me and I gradually turn my bike  out to the road like I was doing a usual turn. With all that uncontrollable speed, I thought I would have fallen and slide sideways and bang cars or something but I had a smooth turn and I managed to turn into the next road and steadily slowed down the bicycle till I was able to jump out and stop entirely.

     If I had panicked, I probably ride straight into the passing cars and I would have flown off my bicycle, no doubt.

     My friend was dumbfounded and wasn’t sure what had happened and she said I was going so fast. No one knew my brakes didn’t work because I didn’t scream , shout to them or showed any sort of discomfort with the bicycle. None of them followed after me as they were not sure what had happened. They came after I had reach the other road.

    

Philipians 4:9 ‘The peace that transcends all understanding’ became an experience for me through this ordeal. God saved me through His peace that I escaped death or disability. All because His peace pulled me to safety. His hands guided my hands, made me more skillful than I have ever been. Thank you, Jesus!
