We will bloom again. — Not ashamed

Last Sunday I had an accident, I hit my head on the desk in the office. This wasn’t your average fall I hit my head so hard when I landed on the ground I could not move, all my nerves were going off I remember crying out to God to save me! You know what? He did! After I was crying out I was able to move a few seconds later I could sit up again and I remember feeling wet and when I looked at the ground and pools of blood all over the carpet. When I touched the left side of my head and saw that there was blood on my hand so Immediately I call my parents to come to help me. I received five stitches and great medical treatment. This is one of the most traumatizing things that I've been through. I'm still trying to recover physically and mentally from this everything has been harder, whenever I get injured or sick it always settles in my left side. As I was laying in my bed I would smell the dry blood and instantly get anxiety thinking just had surgery I would touch my neck where are my scar is. I would just get frustrated thinking Why another thing don't I have enough on my plate? But the other day I went outside and I saw are Orange tree in the front yard with the most beautiful blossoms, you see in the past this tree would not do well. I always kind of related to this tree, it brought me so much joy to see this tree do well. That the harsh winter couldn't stop the tree from Blooming it persevered through! You see I don't have the strength to make it through this but I know that God will give me the strength to make it through this season and I will bloom again because there's always hope in the name of Jesus! Isaiah chapter 35. 35 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.

3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (KJV).

God will be glorified through my pain!

Forever His,
