On the fourth day into DEEPER, I allowed myself to have for breakfast some choc cake Naomi brought home last night...
When I looked at it in the fridge I had a warning within me not to eat it, but I told myself, why not, I haven't set myself to fast from snack the whole time, only between lunch and dinner, so I can eat a cake for brekie, it is looking so good, I am eating it! Humm... it was yummy, and i loved the thick cream cheese on it, and some thick caramel cream in the cake? It tasted a bit bitter like... liquor-ish ! And it felt really heaty down the throat! Oh my, I sensed trouble coming my way...
Uh yeah, it came swiftly like the wind blowing me down in the middle of the night! I had a sore throat the next morning and kept coughing the whole day And that was just the beginning, before I drank energy drink+alcohol mix in the arvo (participating in a research). After the alcohol, it just got worse, I had headache, neck-pain, and funny-feeling stomach, AWFUL! It's really hard to fall to sleep at night with the coughing and neck-pain... And I was supposed to go to visit Shermi with Wen cs the next day, but I couldn't bring myself together and just had to rest at home, the whole day, with sore throat and neck-pain...
Owh, I learnt one thing:: disobedience/ ignoring God's warning leads to danger =( God's warnings or prohibitions are for our own benefit. They are to prevent us from unnecessary pain in the future.. I enjoyed the choc cake for half an hour that morning and suffered the sickness for a week, was it worth it? I wished I would have heeded the warning in my heart.
