// Why me?! //
For almost a decade, I forgot what it felt like to wake up without pain.
-
A regular morning for me after 3-4 hours of sleep (on sleeping pills/painkillers) would be a pounding headache & my throat so painful that it hurt to even open my mouth.
-
Ironically, before I left for my recording contract in Japan, I was diagnosed with chronic pharyngitis. The specialist said that if I had gone to see her a day later I may have lost my voice completely.
-
The insides of my throat was so inflamed that the doctor’s immediate reaction during the scope was that I stop smoking & drinking.
-
She looked at me in disbelief when I told her that funnily enough, I neither smoke nor consume alcohol (except in the form of food - chocolates/desserts).
-
The cause of my misdiagnosed migraine/headaches were later mapped to the tumour in my brain, something I found out during my recording stint in Tokyo.
-
So you can imagine how confused I was with God & His “perfect” plans for me.
-
A dream contract to produce music in Japan & one obstacle after another.
-
A host of other health issues & a painful long-distance relationship that same year; well, you get the idea.
-
I didn’t have all the answers to those blessings in disguise THEN, but it makes sense to me NOW.
-
One of the health/wellness social enterprises that I use to help aspiring entrepreneurs generate passive income would not have come about if it weren’t for those character-building years.
-
And I wouldn’t have met my husband if I didn’t go through the heartbreak of the past relationship.
-
Was it easy? No.
But would I have changed a thing? No.
-
After years of yielding in complete trust to my healer & father in heaven, I realised why things had to happen the way they did.
-
So if you’re going through a character-building season in your life right now, just trust the process.
It’s our attitude of gratitude during times like these that determine our capacity for growth.
-
Just like how muscles are built,
it doesn’t get easier, we just get stronger.
