Live by Faith

It is already 3:22am here at the other side of the world and it is not unusual to be awake too early. I had so many sleepless nights for the past few weeks, I can't sleep deeply like an innocent child. My sleeping habits was just too short where I can sleep late and too early to wake up.

I bet my usual habit sleep where about to hit midnight, my eyes were wide awake and when I started to feel my eyes to fall down, I was too easy to be disturbed by my sleep. I can say that about one and half- hour I started to feel my consciousness.

But I didn't woke up from bed coz it's too early, I just lay down to bed. There were so many thoughts running from my head while breastfeeding my nine month old child until I fall to sleep again.

Today, is different from the other days where I am having hard time to sleep. My nine year old child where I could sense he is also uneasy to sleep. He feel so uncomfortable while he sleep, I can hear he breathe hardily. His breathing sound very soundly.

I was so worried about him, I stretched my hand on the switch of the light and turned it on, I carry my child on my strong hand and call him his name to wake him up from sleep.

As he woke up, he cried so hard coz he cant move his body easily. His body was so cold and his body was so wet with his sweat. As I was calling his name, my heart was profoundly worried and my heart beat so fast as if I am about to faint from scared while running through and through.

I don't know what to do, I called my mom downstairs from the other side of the bedroom. I felt so terribly worried about my child and cried for help. My mom running so fast upstair and was scared too and he grab my child to carry and inspect him his condition.

He told me to get the liniment oil downstairs to rub on my child's body. As I go back, I put a little oil on my palm and rub it on my child's body. I pray to God to heal my child and cry for his mercy.

After a minute of being hysterical, my child become gradually better and better, he burped and release it's fart soundly. After an hour he became fine and I can finally see a smile on his innocent face.

I feel at ease and feel better when I see him smile and felt so grateful when he become okay. I thanked God for healing my child and thank Him for his unconditional love to us. He never leave us no matter who we are.

Hebrews 11:6

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
