The faint of revelation

Today's events were.... I honestly don't have a word to name it, I'll say a wake up call for a lack of better names. For the last month I've been dealing with a condition called bell's palsy, it's not life threatening however it can alter your lifestyle once triggered. Beginning in April my face begin twitching and since I've experienced a different symptom every other week for a little more than a month. I've been to the doctor almost once a week for a month and had to take time from my work to get well. Ive had a good support system thurs far in my family and close friends. But today was by far the most unexpected of the entire experience.

For some time I have had the practice of a midday prayer/meditation. I do this mostly to get still and hear from God like most but also to help replenish my energy for the rest of the day. I work in a building that houses a few different agencies including a chapel which is where I go for my midday prayer/meditation and today was no exception. The only thing that was out of the norm was that instead of being on the chapels balcony, where I usely go I was redirected to go onto the main level due to the balcony key being inaccessible. As I set myself up for my meditation turning one of the already place chairs in a forward direction, I sat and prayed and gave thanks and when finished I stood up to take a sort of yoga stretch, first forward then backwards. The next thing I knew I was staring at droplets of blood and picking myself up from the floor bleeding from the mouth. I was confused. I had no clue what had just happened. The emloyees in the lobby all looked confused as well... Being that I had went in one way, good spirited and well,  and returned bloodied and disoriented. While I was in the restroom cleaning up, two of my co-workers entered to check on me.

 "are you ok?? Do you need to go home??"

I was just as confused and concerned as they were. I knew I felt fine yet the deep gash on both sides of my lip told a different story. "Maybe I should." I replied, as I fought back tears. What was happening? Why was this happening? Why is this my reality today? How did I fall? All these thoughts crossed my mind. I was in disarray. I walked back to the chapel to make sense of what had happened. I looked at the chair then the distance from where I sat to where the blood was. "How did I get all the way up there?" I'm only a 4"11 and there had to be more than 5 ft. distance between them though not much. My co-worker gathered me from cleaning the floor so that she and another could see me home safely.

Once I returned home minutes later I received a random text from my sister saying "Heyy sister! I expect wonderful  amazing things to happen today!....what about you?! The day is Great! Let's enjoy it!" unbeknownst to her I had just taken something of a nasty spill, but I still was grateful that she thought of me at this very hour. From there, my niece who knew of the situation called to check on me and a friend as well who was calling to take a random road trip. Not to mention my 3 year old great niece who noticed the not so silent gash in my lip immediately and began to pray with me & for me, as well as my mother, they were all instrumental.

I still dont know medically what is wrong, as I wait for test and results the amount of love and support I experienced on today showed me that I have those relationships that no matter what I am always loved and supported. As I work through this anxiety that im experiencing I know that God will reveal to me the importance and necessity of keeping these relationships that feed me on a less than perfect day, and to always give thanks for them. This day showed me that even when you dont believe to be in relation with others the amout of care & support shows you otherwise. I can say that today was humbling and I am forever and always grateful and open for the lessons & blesssings sent through the universe. Namaste.
