1 - Some of my past history
High school
When I was a sophomore in High School, around 1987, I broke my leg, riding what is called a "mini bike". I won't go into the history behind mini bikes, but what I know about them is that they were ridden after World War II. The one I rode was an older
model, build around 1955 (I am guessing). I broke my Femur bone in my leg, and I was in the hospital for 10 days.
Staph infection
I stayed at a private hospital paid for by my dad's health insurance. At the hospital I contracted a "staph" infection, which is an infection in the blood. At the time I did not know, nor did I care about all the implications that may accompany a "staph" infection (teenagers think they are invincible anyway). The "staph" infection is actually a short
word for a little bacterium called staphylococcus areus. This "staph" bacterium can cause bone infections, and that is what I got. It is a threat in the hospital, especially with open flesh. All I knew was that I was in the hospital for several days, and I
wanted to get out. I wanted to get out and get over my broken leg, and ride my skateboard again.
Schooled at home
I remember having to be schooled at home, and being hooked up to an IV during this time. I thought all this was great since it was something new and exciting during this part of my life.
Miraculous healing
During the time after my hospital stay, my parents took me to several doctor visits. In the lab I had blood taken. My white blood count (these are the cells which fight infections) was low, and it stayed low. I knew I needed a healing and God was the
only one to do it. God had a plan and the devil tried to get rid of me early, but God was (and is} much more powerful. The doctor told my parents that he could not give me any more antibiotics to help kill the "staph" infection (they had already given me the maximum amount they could give) so God was the only one who could do the healing (and He would get all the credit).
I remember the preacher at a church we were going to saying, "If you need ahealing then raise your hand", I knew I needed a healing so I raised my hand, I was prayed for, and Jesus healed me! Miraculously, my white blood cell count went up to normal levels. I had a routine blood check and they could not understand why it was going up! God gets all the credit.
The Bible talks about having the faith of a child (Matthew 18:4). A child just knows that what he or she asks for will happen. I knew that God could heal, so I asked God to heal me, and He did.
Recent employment
My most recent employment has included warehouse work, computer training, and a working for an electrical provider. I worked doing warehouse work for around 4 years. I did this type of work willingly, but could not see doing this for the long term.
Reflections
Thinking back, I did not like the labor at the warehouse because I was inside the hot warehouse for the working part of the day. The thought passed through my mind, "I could either work with my back all my working life or with my mind". I wanted to work with computers since building stuff appeals to me, and to me building on a computer is
another way to build. The warehouse job was fine while I was going to a Bible college, but was not going to meet my needs of providing for a growing family.
Not a good experience
