So for my last blog post I talked about how I
ended up going to the clinic asking for more medicine for my allergic reactions
when I didn’t know I actually got an anti-allergy shot already.
So I took the medicine to help with the healing process. On Thursday night as I was dragging my laundry basket to the dorm elevator to head to the laundry room a girl in the hallway approached me. She said “Do you have an antihistamine? I got an allergic reaction to something and it’s showing up in my face and I have trouble breathing.” At first I didn’t know what she was asking cuz I had no idea that allergy medicine was called that, but it took me a few seconds to realize that I ACTUALLY HAD ALLERGY MEDICINE!! I don’t really have a bad allergic reactions to the things I’m allergic to so I never actually possessed any sort of antihistamine in my life. So for her to ask me at that moment was crazy! I told her I had some and ran back to my room to get it. She said thank you and took it. After I came back up from putting my laundry in the machine I spotted her in the lounge and asked her how she was. She kept thanking me saying that she is feeling much better and could breathe a lot better too!
I find it crazy that the only time in my life that I ever had to take allergy medicine was when someone around me so happen to need it! As I reflected on this situation I realized that we as Christians often think that what we did in the past was things God wanted us to go through so we can see His glory later on. As true as that is God wants to also redeem what we’ve done in the past. One thing I learned in Emmaus is that when we get hurt by relationships, relationships are the very thing that will heal us. Just like in my previous post I talked about how I basically went my own way trying to get rid of this allergy the quick way by getting medicine from the clinic. Thinking I wasted my money since I already paid for a shot (without knowing). When the truth is, my own ideal “quick fix” ended up saving someone’s life. Just in that same way I know that God also brings goods things out of the foolish things we’ve done in the past. Don’t feel ashamed about what you’ve done. Your testimony is a spirit of prophecy for others around you. So be encouraged, He will use your story one day to bless someone around you. :)
