HIstory in the making?!

Here's a story which I would like to share with all of you people out there.. What inspired me to do so, was yesterday's incident at the barber shop when I discovered that I have a baldspot.. XP not a really obvious one though.. but here goes...

Years back, when I was in form 2(When I was 14)... I had this disease called Thyroid.. (Dun ask me why its called that.. because I got no single atom of idea why either.. hahhahah!) It made me lose weight, sweat alot and make my neck swell abit.. Thank God it was not so serious..

After a few weeks of consulting the doctor and tests(man the blood test was like taken all the time! XP hahaha! needles poking in and out of my arm.. XP)

And I was given this medication that I'm suppose to take.. And there were like tons of pills that I must take to control this Thyroid..
And its either that or operation.. which the doctor says that I'm too young for that.. Which scared me cuz I don't want to have a huge scar on my neck! T-T

BUT.. To my surprise, my friends started telling me that I have a baldspot at the back of my head.. not really a big one.. but I start to get worried.. And then the baldspot just grew more in quantity till I decided to shave myself bald.. Man.. What a crazy idea.. It turned out worse than ever! XP

I have baldspots all over and as the hair grew, the baldspots were still able to be seen and I was so ashamed of myself that I just wanted to lock myself at home and not go anywhere.. I was out of school for 2 weeks cuz I just can't take the embarrasement.. Ask Jo Ng.. He knows ALL about it.. hahaha!

But I still can't figure out if the hairloss was due to stress, the medication or something else..

But I had to go to school... with the baldspots... XP And yea.. people criticized me and laughed at me.. But my friends were always there with me, defending me from those people.. I was so ashamed that I complained to God.. Maybe like scolding.. XP Cuz I was just so upset, ashamed and angry about it.. I just couldn't take it..

Those Malay guys in the school made fun and said that I have a map on my head and things like that.. And boy do I feel hurt! haha!

So hurt that I didn't turn up for youth and Church.. And I accepted Christ that same year! But Soaring Eagles still never gave up on me.. They came online and encouraged me to come.. Made jokes to brighten me up and just gave me the strenght to just come without feeling ashame of myself..
I just couldn't thank them more till today and till the day I die.. XP

But one time as I complaint, God simply said to me "Son, I love you the way you are.. Isn't that more than enough?" And that itself blew me away! From that moment, I never complain to God in that way again... His love was all I ever needed.. Even when I don't realize it.. And I started coming to youth and Church..
First it was all awkward.. But man.. I feel more comfortable there than any other place.. I was so... welcomed and I could worship God with all that I have.. It feels great! =D And it was also then that I joined Operation Impact and started sharing to people.. and boy! A whole lot of them accept! Like Vince, Jason and my siblings for example! ahha!
And soon, it began to cure.. I remembered using lots of medication.. XP But I know the reason why it healed.. God.. Not all those medications put together..
And now that its repeating itself.. Yes, I was shocked.. But it didn't shock me as much anymore because I know God has plans and reasons why.. =)
~God, I love you, do whatever you want with me, I'm yours~

The disease is repeating itself?

Anyway, I remember my mom's testimony about the same thing. She had the same disease when I was very young (very young that I can hardly remember the event, but knew it just through her testimonies). It's called goiter-- a disease that affects the Thyroid gland. She's been healed a long time ago and is very strong now.
I might do a sort of response post to share in detail.

Anyway, whatever situation God puts you through, just trust Him all the way and tell Him "God, if this situation is part of Your plan and will give glory to You, then I submit."

God bless you, Benzy :)
