It's been awhile since I last update my multiply.Good things are just happening more and more each day.And each day I grow to love Him more.
I thank the Lord for His abundance of favor and goodness over my life for my last attachment. I hope that what I’ll be sharing later on how God has blessed me will be a blessing to you too=)We have a Big God. Amen.
Do you really believe that God’s favor is all you need?
Do you really believe the one thing needful? And that is to sit at Jesus feet and hear His Word daily.
Do you really believe that faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of Christ? And miracles happen in the midst of it?
I do now. Not that I do not believe it the last time, but it was just not my top most priority. It was for me one of the many things needful.
But because I’ve been practicing this everyday for the pass 5 weeks of my attachment, hearing it each time I go and come back from work, I see now the importance why Jesus ask us to do the one thing. It’s all we need Beloved! And you know why I listen to it?Hehe. It wasn’t because I receive a revelation one Sunday, but because my journey there takes me 1 1/2hours. What better way to pass time yeah?=)And also during that period, someone handed me an abundance of pastor’s cds. Not only that, my lecturer happens to send me with someone who stays in the same block as I do. And she was the one who has helped me to charge my batteries every alternate day for my disc man so I could listen to e sermons.
One day while I was jogging, I decided to ask God for a mp3. I pictured a white one too. It sounded very impossible to me then, but I said it anyway.
The very same week someone gave me a mp3 and it was a white one too=) with 10 batteries along with it. Hee. Our God always abundantly supplies! Amen.
Last Thursday, my lecturer came to do a viva with us. As usual, I was having butterflies in my stomach. As I wheeled e patient, I quietly look away from her and confess “I’m the Righteouness of God” softly.
I stuttered at the beginning of the session. But slowly, it resolved by God’s grace =)
“Ok, analyze for me and treat.”
“What are the causes for her decrease knee forward in standing…”
Oh dear, what could it be, I thought to myself. At that moment I wasn’t quite sure.
But when I open my mouth by faith, He provides me with the answer I really didn’t know how it came. The flow was there. Hee. And she said it was right.
There was just such rest and confidence. But this has happen many times with my supervisors. Then I go on to tell her about the condition of this lady.
“…She used to have ataxia(jerkiness of movement) of her ® lower limb and is unable to walk controllably. But after one-week session with her, her ataxia left.
With her most surprised look “ How did you do it??”
Told her the treatment I implemented.
And guess what, she walked away and commented, “I’m very happy with you”.
“Thank you”
It was just 10mins! And she left to observe my friend for 2 hours! It has never happen before in any of my encounter with her =)
Truly the Favor of God was with me.
The first time I treated this patient, she required 2 moderate assistance to walk. She couldn’t even place her foot properly on the floor due to the uncontrolled movement. But now after a month of seeing her, she is able to walk unassisted with a walking frame.
Was it because I implemented a good treatment?
I really dunno. Yes and No.
But e one thing I knew is I did three similar thing with all my patient.Keke.
Firstly, I would tell them that Jesus loves them. If circumstances allow, I would pray along with them.
Secondly, I ask them to confess positive things. Ie For this patient, she would constantly tell me that she cant do it/her leg has no strength. I would not allow her to say it but rather ask them to replace it with “I have strength, my leg has strength” instead. Sometimes, unknowingly she would revert back to saying she can’t, but when I look at her, she would smile and quickly correct herself. Hee.
Thirdly, I make them laugh.yup. The joy of the Lord is our strength. But if they were unable to, at least a smile =)
Treatment does help in the recovery of patients. But it is not all to it.
I’ve witnessed this personally myself.
It may work for a patient who is relatively well mentally, but try doing your treatment on someone who suffers depression. Most of the time, they are just so conscious of their circumstances, of how others look at them and life seems meaningless. They curl themselves up in bed, not wanting to eat or to talk. When happy memories flash their thoughts, it’s no longer good anymore. And you see tears rolling down their cheek. What use is there if I’m able to give them the best therapy and environment to practice but they have no strength to even sit up. All my treatment would be in vain. At this moment, you really wish they knew Jesus.
And I was given this patient. I read her notes and they said that she would vomit everyday after therapy. When I met her, I tried to cheer her up and make conversations. But silent reigns. She was very passive. There was no contribution on her part. I had to hold her up each time to sit, and to stand. My supervisor told me they are considering of sending her somewhere to use an electrical thingie to “shock” her brain.
And you know what, amazingly she did not vomit after my session. Not only that, she has not vomited ever since! And it’s been two weeks. The changed in her was so evident. She comes to therapy willingly and earlier than e appointed time..Previously, she could not stand unassisted by 2person and her (L)leg need to be constantly supported but now she is walking by just holding on to a bar and moving her legs herself! She not only talks now but laughs too. Her maid said she has been finishing her rice these days and is putting on weight=)
Why the sudden changed in her? Could it be because my treatment was good?
It may have helped a little. But I believe that every feeling of infirmity in her have to leave first. I believe is the love of Jesus that has touched her heart. And His love for us promises to save and to heal. Brain shock is only temporal but God’s healing is eternal. Last Friday I invited her for the chapel service, and she went for it. But it hurts me to see the tears in her eyes when I said my final goodbye.
My final Assessment with my supervisors was too good to be true. Hee.
The senior physio said “You have a flair for Neuro. You should consider specializing in it…(Said a few times.hee), think about it”
It’s like having an artist telling you that you have the X-factor for drawing when you know you can hardly draw in your art class. Hee
The other one added “You have a calling in this area just by looking at what’s happening around you…the lecturer told us she was impressed with you”
Calling???Hee.
Imagine having a supervisor telling you that as a feedback. For someone who hardly knows me and to see that in me? Is no kiddin.Haha.just kiddin.
Whether I have it or not, it doesn’t really matter. I just live to enjoy every season He has given me, and that’s living the call =)
Honestly, Neuro was one of my weaker subjects in school. Even e lecturer reminded me when she came over.Hee. And was a little surprised by what she observed. Isn’t it God to always use the weakest point in you to turn it into a strength?=)
Do I deserve all this? Did I study hard for it? Honestly, I only study on my way there. Not really study though. hehe but plan out what I was going to do for my patients for that day. The only time that I studied at home was the first two week. The rest of the week I was too sleepy by the time I reach home=)
All I “did” was I kept hearing His Word and also listening to Christian songs.
I listened till my spirit comes alive and full of His love. So alive that I dun even want to off the player at times. Only until I reach the doorstep of the office.Hee. Followed on by morning prayers with a few of them.
He puts a rest in my studies and a liking for my work.
Favor from God is all you need.
This has been in my spirit lately “Too much I can’t contain”
A few of the patients family came up to me and requested if I could go over to their house and treat their mum and they’ll pay me for it.
I’ve even got two patients who buys me bun for a few days. How on the world do they know I love bread=)
And e Myanmar Therapist Assistant specially ask me which day I'll be free and took a day off just to cook a meal for me!
Two of the Myanmar gals also agreed and followed me to church the other day. I asked them how many times have they been to church ever since they came 5 years ago, and they said twice. Oh boy was I touched. The best part is I only asked once, and my christian collegues told me that she has been trying so hard to bring them to church.Well, I thank her instead because it was her that has sown the seeds in their heart, and it's just the right time now.
Everyday it's a blessing of His goodness. He really loves me so much. My every desire is His chance of showing me more of His love. Sometimes when I’m so tired, I would tell Him that I wish I would have less patient for that day...or is just me, yeah?=)The next moment, the son comes in to tell me the mum is going for home leave. When I’m hungry and I wish for a bread, the next moment my patient offered me one. Trust me I dun have a hungry look written on my face=)I know He always hears my heart cry. I tell Him everything and there isn’t anything He will not do for His children,yeah?
We gave our supervisor a small gift on our last day as a token of our appreciation. My partner later turn to me and pass me one too"This one is for you", "You mean I have one too?"Hee.
Thank God for my two weeks break. I miss spending time with Abba.
Want more blessings? It’s e favor of God you need.
The more weaknesses you see in yourself, the more of God's Divine Favor can work in you!
Jesus said ONE thing is needful.
Do the one thing and God will do everything for you.
The one thing is to let Jesus love you. Receive His fresh manna everyday.
And His favor on you will be too much you can’t contain!
Grace is with us, God’s beloved!=)
