ARRRRHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha. Must be wondering why I'm taking these shots huh? No reasons haha!
How's your day?
I have had a good and blessed day. It's just an ordinary Monday but God made it so realistically well-spent. No big happenings actually. Just that when I played the 'rewind' button on my day I felt so joyful and peaceful.
Maybe it's all about communicating with Him.
ICU review was like any other day but the heart felt so light.
Yesterday morning, I was waken up by a sms of someone remotely close. This person was a student who used to do attachment in my hospital while I was a pre-reg pharmacist and for a lot of reasons, I disliked him then. Although he is a Christian I just didn't have a good 'feelings' about him. I simply didn't like him. And he knew it too.
Perhaps we both had our own share of spiritual hardships and growth. Over time, I realized that my attitude towards him softened - because he left the hospital after his attachment; and also because I saw his transformation from a 'seemingly immature boy' to a more sensible guy, gradually more godly?
God changes people.
I deeply believe that. For many instances God has proven this statement true.
In this case, I know that it's not this person that God changes, but it's me that God has changed.
I was once so foolish. To judge people so easily and to think of myself too much. I am not any better than anyone actually. What's gotten into me to have thought of others as inferior and despicable? Shame shame Shame!
Yesterday, he sms-ed me to ask for help. His dad got admitted for a mini-stroke and he asked me who's the pharmacist in-charge of his father. The moment I received the sms from him, surprisingly, I wasn't disgusted by the sender's 'name'. Actually, what God taught me last Sunday did trigger a button in me. A stop and wait, then say, button.
So I replied and answered all his questions. I knew that he's concerned because he needs to return to the camp in a few days time and his father is just warded to the hospital. We exchanged a few sms-es, prayed for him and the family and he asked if he could look for me today.
Today when I went to see his father, their pastor was at bedside and talking to the family. I then met my 'friend' and updated him, explained the condition, the treatment and rationales of the choices of treatment, and answered all his queries. His father was a bit upset because of his condition but we knew that when the medicine has already been in place, what we should do next is to turn to God and seek Him.
All in all, I just felt thankful. God worked between me and the friend and I'm happy because my friend's comforted.. Because of His presence between us, we forged a bond that's of a different kind. This friendship is so different. To me, it's a friendship that is from God and can only be sustained by Him.
Randomness again haha :)
