StrepSpleenCrash
Hey there. Its been a kind of crazy couple of weeks. I got sick with tonsillitis or strep throat. I think they are the same thing, but i could be wrong. But i had some sort of throat infection that’s for sure. But being sick sucks because you cant work. Well I got better after a week of trying to get better by eating garlic. But that wasn’t working too well so i sucked it up and paid to see the doc for some antibiotics.
Last Thursday my really good friend Brett (he’s probably one of my favourite people) came back into town. He was living here this season, but left at the beginning of march to road trip all around the US in his van with a mattress in the back. The next day we went up the mountain for a day of skiing/riding and Brett slipped off a box and winded himself. We carried on riding for a few hours and thought nothing of it. I went to work, the
n found out a few hours later that Brett had been taken to Hospital to be operated on because he had ruptured his spleen when he fell. So he’s recovering right now in Hospital. Pray for him that he recovers quickly and that he keeps his spirits up.
So I went down to visit him a couple of times this week, and after we visited Brett, my friend rolled his pickup truck when we got back into Whistler. He was going too fast around a corner and we did 3/4 of a roll just stopping a foot short of a big ditch. My friend didn’t have a scratch on him but my arm hit the window as it smashed into the ground. We climbed out of the broken window and walked over to the emergency room that closes at 10. So we called an ambulance to let us in. The Doctor used 40 stiches patching together my highly lacerated/cheesegrated arm. He said that we both were extremely lucky, and that even though a chuck of flesh was missing, my major arteries were all intact and there is no nerve damage. The police couldn’t believe that we were in the shape that we were in after finding the truck smashed up and on its side.
So God was completely looking after us the whole time, and pretty much saved our lives. He is so awesome. So it has been a crazy couple of weeks, and i can’t work for at least another week. I have to find a new place to live at the end of the month. I’ve been having to trust in God with my friends, my finances and my health. And its been good to go though these times with him.
God constantly reminds me to focus on him. And not put things above him. If i don’t put God first and stop worshiping him, i start worshiping anything. Its unintentional, but i think we recieve our worth from what we worship so its so important to make sure we get that from him. Worship also has a massive impact on the spiritual realm, because when we are in direct contact with God, satan has no choice but to flee. God planted an idea into my head that i haven’t carried out yet of reading Psalms of praise while walking around the town at 6am. I wouldn’t usually say something like that on here that i hadn’t started yet, but I thought that it would keep me accountable, so when i’m waking up it will give me a bit of a driving force.
Anyway, i think this might be a personal best for how much i’ve written in one post, so i will leave it there. If anyone has any prayer requests I would love to be praying for you. Email me at jonny@sfcwhistler.com
