Apocalypto, my neck, to His glory

Thank God.
The ADM people went to Royston's place for steamboat dinner on monday. I wish we had more of these together. His mum is so cool and she was sporting the hairdo that i had planned to have when I have white hair. The one that P. Dowdy had, with a streak across. yea~

We watched Apocalypto, directed by Mel Gibson. I think it was an awesome movie. Very realistic. So realistic and so intense that in the first 30mins, I was so tensed up that I got tired. And after this 2hr movie, I went back to hall with an aching neck and shoulder. What I never expected was that this little sore turned into a crazy, painful and torturous neckache that bothered me big time the entire day. Worst than any stiff neck I've ever had. I was so afraid that I'll end up like my dad who had tense shoulders and neck for more than a year after we made him ice skate with us in Bangkok(haa~). Sorry that I hadn't been the most helpful team member that day, I was seriously distracted by the pain. It affected my stomach and legs, felt like kicking my legs up each time it just hits a nerve, and I could feel the throb of subtle pain flowing down my body from my neck. I know I complained alot yesterday, i'm sorry team.

But I want to thank God cos at the end of the day I remembered how my dad was healed from his 1 year ache. He went for prayer and it miraculously became better. And mind you, this was after a year of medical treatment from doctors(both western and chinese) and acupuncture and whatnots with LITTLE/NO results. But it healed after prayer. Amazing. I remembered how God has done that for my daddy. I couldn't imagine another day of pain, so I decided to pray in my hall room. Thank God. Today the pain was gone completely. It's the fastest neckache-disappearing act I've seen in my life. Even my past stiff necks takes a few days to recover. How good is God when we put our faith and trust in Him?

I thank God that He allows us to experience pain so we may know what He can and will do. especially if we ask Him to. He knows how to bring His children back to Him.

Mel Gibson is still cool after all. haha
