On Thursday, I took half a day off to pay a visit to the hospital for a regular check up on my 'thorn in the flesh'. There was a lot of waiting time which means I had a lot of 'alone' time, time to think. So while I was waiting for my turn to go for x-ray, I was inspired divinely to write some poetry. =) Don't want to share it here though.
My doctor advised me to go for surgery, which I declined. He hasn't stopped persuading me since the condition recurred. Well, there is no cure for this sickness except through surgery, but there is no guarantee either that it will not recur. It is something that I have lived with since I was a kiddo, so I do not see how I cannot live with it for the rest of my life (that is a high possibility).
Of course I do wish that it will be taken away from me, because of the many implications that come with having it. I pray sometimes that God would heal me, but it has not happened yet. It could be because I do not have enough faith, or like Paul, it could be THE thorn in my flesh. This thing makes me sound like a girl from a cowboy town.
More updates later.
*This post is not to scare you. It is not life threatening as far as I am aware, but not as simple as 1+2+3 as well. ;)

Hey,grace have you heard that illness is one of the things God uses to keep us dependent on Him.
Have u heard that God desires is our maturity and growth in the suffering.Hehehe partly this might be the reason i left church and until now i couldn't understand on it.
Yeap agree that He change,heal and bring maturity to a person. hehee e.g a kids with the maturity that not suppose in their age.I never want to be so mature. :P
Everyone in the world suffers.Lord is the one control of our lives. Hopefully oneday i will accept all that God brings to me, as for my own good even the death of family.
Wish u well...grace...
