My Epilepsy Story - Series of Attacks (part 2)

Image
Seizure Attacks Couple of years ago I kept a seizure log in my mobile phone but unfortunately my phone got stolen and I lost track ( I forgot to create a cloud backup - teehee ).  To give a context on my Seizure attacks they started months after being discharged from the hospital. I reported back to work after a month of rest - that is July 2014, and went back in doing my normal routine or lifestyle. But there were funny moments where names and faces do not exactly match in my mind. I got saved from humiliating myself not calling them different names seeing everybody wearing name plates/tags in the Hotel where I work. They were all so happy seeing me, asking all sorts of questions like how it happened, what did I feel, was I in a comatose, etc. It was just happy seeing them and being well received by all of them. I am also blessed by God giving me the 'aura'. What's that?! Aura is a sensation I feel warning me that a seizure is rising and will happen. The specific aura that...

My Epilepsy Story - Incident & Hospitalization (part 1)

I am a Person with Disability. Categorized under the Psychosocial group - a misunderstood areas of disability. I had a head injury leading to severe bleeding in my brain and in the process of healing I experience seizures or epileptic attacks.  Nothing is stopping me to continue living normally and continue doing what I did before the incident. My Epilepsy Story begins here.  April 27, 2014 - Sunday Opening of the village's basketball tournament. We are playing first and we were warming up shooting and doing layups. When the game is about to start, I clearly remember greeting and talking to the referees requesting to make good calls during the game. Then it happened. I lost consciousness.

In Christ Alone

 Let me start with this verse, in John 6:68.  Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, Jesus Christ our Lord, the Living Water & Bread of Life. In Him we will never hunger and thirst. Before John 6, Jesus fed thousands of people by multiplying bread which fulfilled their stomachs temporarily maybe for a few hours or overnight but if we are in Christ we will never hunger. He has eternal life. Like what Peter said in verse 68, ...You have the words of eternal life." Peter didn't just say this because he part of the special 12 disciples but because he put his faith in the words that Jesus the Messiah, the Christ says. Not because he has no other place to go or no other options. His heart knows. God chose Simon Peter, to open his heart to the words of Christ. In Christ alone, all the doctrine, teachings, miracles, transformation stand. Only because of Him we are saved from eternal death. He alone is the only way for salvation....
