This happened in December 2004 while I was bedridden (yes completely bedridden with bedpan etc...). Everyone wanted me to stay at my inlaws place coz my husband used to go on a lot of business tours. I knew that was better for me, but I just couldnt agree to going there coz I was embarassed with the bedpan thing. I know, u will say...comeon girl, u r bedridden... well, yes but doing potty in the bed is such an embarassing situation. And also, most of you who are reading this might not have gone through such a situation...so I will tell you how difficult it is to go potty lying down, bum raised....also, since there is no activity, going potty happens just once in 4 days...so it is not a pleasant situation for people around (sorry for explaining in detail but just clarifying things!!!!)
I had a full time maid in the flat where me and my husband were living. She used to take care of all my needs...like standing with a mug while I brush my teeth, coming running whenever I have to pee, change my clothes, give me sponge bath etc etc...
So the first time, my husband went on tour for a week, there was a lot of pressure from everywhere to go and stay with my inlaws (it was so good of them to call me and also everyone who asked me to go there did that out of concern for me) but I just couldnt agree and that time, I could only tell Jesus... I used to cry out loud in my bed... I knew no harm will befall me coz Jesus is with me but convincing people is difficult. I just went on praying.
So, my husband was supposed to leave December 6th early morning. On december 5th, my husband tried reasoning with me, but I kept telling him God will take care of me. You wont believe, at around 11pm December 5th night, I get a call from my brother "Sojo, Iam calling from Palghat, Iam on my way to Chennai, Our company plant caught fire, so Iam coming immediately to purchase some things" Well, in such a situation, what do I say, PRAISE THE LORD!!!! well, the plant catching fire is not a pleasant thing, but what I understood later was that it didnt incur much damage.
And the best thing was, he was there the whole week, staying at my place (from the day my husband left till the day my husband returned)... also, he had to go just 1 to 2 hours everyday to do the purchases, give orders or meet people. The rest of the time, he was at my bed and we used to sing songs and worship and prayed a lot together. What a blessing. what a blessing.. Iam crying as iam keying this... One of my friends from Anna nagar called me and asked " Sojo, Your prayer brought down enough fire to burn a plant" Well, my prayer is nothing... it is always God's love for me that works in mysterious ways in my life... I HAVE AN AWESOME GOD AND HE LOVES ME SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
