i wanna be like a tree

God is faithful! I am well and alive today! :-)

Such an experience last night. When I cannot sleep, something is very wrong. I can sleep at all times; in class, during lectures, during sermons, when I’m standing in the MRT, when I’m sitting on the bus/car/MRT, in front of my laptop, on my piano, on my sofa, at the dining table, on the floor, talking to someone..anywhere, anytime. But this fever is so weird, it made me restless and unable to sleep. I woke at 3am last night, feeling warm. The night was cool, thank God. I took my temperature, it was 37.6, the fever was still there, so had to take panadol. But I was feeling hungry and I knew medicine on an empty stomach is gastric inducing. So I had no choice but to go downstairs into the dark kitchen and find food. As I was sitting there munching bread, I realized it was utterly quiet. Nobody knew I was awake, no one was waking up to find me, and there was a lack of insect and car sounds whatsover outside. It was silent all around. And I thought, “gosh it is going to be as lonely in Oz. Nobody is going to be around fussing around me, making sure I drink sufficient water, tucking me back to bed.” But once I thought of that, immediately I felt God with me. ‘Jesus in my heart’ that kinda nice feeling. It was an affirmation again, He shall be with me, He shall be my Healer, He will be there when I am utterly alone. And I felt peaceful and well. After eating both food and medicine, I went back to bed. I slept really peacefully through the night into morning and rose with a temperature of 36.0. God is so good!
