MEETING GOD IN THE EXAM ROOM, AT THE HOSPITAL 10-7-19
Meeting God
In The Exam Room,
At The
Hospital
I wrote
this entry in the early morning of May 29, 2013.
I edited
this script today, October 7, 2019
These were
the feelings that I experienced on that traumatic day in May.
Life:
I was at
the hospital yesterday.
I needed to
go in for a routine test, which turned out to be anything but, routine.
A nodule
was discovered in the 1st test.
Several
other tests followed.
I began
feeling apprehensive when I saw patients leave, the patients whom had taken
that same test after me.
I was asked
to take a more in depth test, a biopsy.
The biopsy
was done by a physician almost immediately.
I waited
for that doctor and the results of the biopsy in what seemed like forever!
I wanted to
pray but, the only prayers that stuttered out from my mouth were “The Lord’s Prayer”
and “The Serenity Prayer”.
I exhausted
those prayers, as I voiced them over and over to God.
Then I had
the idea of singing, singing to my Lord.
The only
songs I seized from my soul were: “How Great Thou Art” and “Puff The Magic
Dragon”.
“Puff The
Magic Dragon” was not a traditional song to cry out to God but, to me, it made
perfect sense!
I realized
how difficult it was to face serious health issues, feeling so alone.
I felt so
much like a child, a scared child at that.
I began to
cry!
As I cried
and cried, I humbled myself before God.
I asked God
on that day to give me the strength, courage and compassion I needed to fight
the battles that were being presented before me.
As I looked
up into the heavens, I voiced these words to God: "Please, Lord, allow me
to always feel Your Presence in whatever Life tosses at me.
I conversed
with God about many things in that exam room yesterday.
I met my
Lord in that tiny exam room, pleading with Him for more time with my family and
friends.
I kneeled
before God, asking Him if I could leave this world, only after making it a
better place!
I asked for
miracles.
Jesus
brought me out of that day, the day of my biopsy, with the gift of His Peace.
Though I
still fight health challenges, I’m okay today!
I “know” I
am okay because I am under God’s protection.
And, my
friends, there is no better place than you can ever be in, than in God’s Arms.
