road to recovery

i have lost my voice today :( hehe whenever i lose my voice, i think of phoebe in 'friends' and her sexy voice singing 'smelly cat'. i shall not attempt to sing because i sound more like a croaking frog.
anyway, but praise God that i am now fever-free and should be able to resume my study time-table tomorrow :) the thought of missing out of 3 days of study is starting to make me nervous. yikes!
so, the upside of recovering from the flu is that you have an 'excuse' to be in bed all day with a book and not feel guilty about it. today, warmly tugged under my goose down, i finished reading '90 minutes in Heaven' by Don Piper. it is one of the books i've been meaning to read for the past month but never got around to it.
although it wasn't so well written, it was a straight-forward, simple story - of a pastor who had died in this car accident, and spent 90 minutes in Heaven before being brought back to earth again. this book was his account of what he saw in heaven but mainly focused on his very painful, excruciating road to recovery. For me, it really confirms the power of prayer and shows that God is still working miracles, even today. It gives a strong example of how we can minister to others through our own suffering, and how to let others minister to us in our times of need.

gosh, i'm so blessed.
