now boys you're welcome to leave but I assure you nothing gross will be said
that will scar your mind forever okay so recently during a Sunday service I will
not say which Sunday service I was on my period and I was feeling so off-balance
though it was like the fourth day and it wasn't as bad as you know the first and
second but it was still so uncomfortable and I just wanted to leave and was so
difficult to play the bass guitar I play the bass guitar and I know there are a lot of girls
and women who are doing much more physically demanding things when they're
on their periods right but there was this verse that really stilled me and
comforted me like nothing else could and I'm gonna share that with you today it
is 2nd Corinthians 4 verse 17 for our present troubles are small and won't
last very long yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and
will last forever this thing struck home and nothing else could have done that
except this one verse which is acknowledging that we are going through
some trouble here it's not it's not like God is saying y'all are just dust y'all
y'all will get it later no he understands of course the context of
this verse is taken for very different things than what I'm talking about today
but I do believe that it includes periods I can't tell you the number
times I said God how could you inflict this horrendous phenomenon on us women
as a whole and how can you say that all things work together for good when I go
to the toilet and I feel like I have just committed a crime scene but he has
a good purpose for it and I don't understand it right now but I will
forget children okay forget babies and kids forget the logical science behind
all this it is a temporary life this is not gonna last forever
our life here on earth it's not gonna last forever
yes I'm taking this to an extreme because you feel like that when you're
on your period right but it's because of this that I am functioning properly as a
human being everything is in balance hormonal-ly and emotionally because of
these strangely because of these horrible things called periods without it
I could be in so much danger I could be going through so much medication and
treatment I have to I have to I have to I have to not let this control me and
not let the pain consume me and think I'm entitled to just be cranky and push
around everyone for a bit I used to despair thinking of month after month
period after period like when will this get over it takes decades for it to
actually go away assuming you live a long life but we're not gonna live this
life forever and that's such a comfort it's such a comfort to think according to
the Christian belief according to what I know of my God and Savior He has promised
me a life beyond this life a life that is so much different from
this one in every good way possible we're not gonna have this kind of body
isn't that amazing no pads or whatever you use I don't know no cramps no
fainting nausea whatever else trouble you get with it nothing whatsoever when
I think of that life this is nothing it doesn't matter how terrible
it was when you read of Paul the things he had to go through to become a good
disciple of Christ it's horrendous and when I think of the potential
enjoyment and the worship we will have in heaven of God without any of these
hindrances and nuisance this is nothing it's nothing
yes right now it's going on and it's there it's present right but compare it
and it's nothing it's very important when you're walking through a tunnel to
know that the tunnel is going to end and you are going to come into the light you
and I sisters we are going to come into the light do not despair and brothers
who are going through their girls or women in their life going crazy on them during
this time they are going to come into the light do not worry do not despair
nothing that we will face is gonna compare to what Jesus did for us and
that should give you some sort of a *sigh* moment Jesus came from that beautiful place
called heaven to this horrendous sickness-ridden life just to save us
that's what he did for us so have I learned to embrace the period
no I I don't think so but I have found my purpose in God that's why I'm here
I'm not here to have some pity party over myself and over these small little
troubles and pains that I have right though it is something it is something I
will not deny that but that's not the end of my life the end of my life is
going to be so glorious so without any kind of this mess we are gonna have new
bodies new wombs I don't know how it's gonna be when it's
amazing so cheer up and know that I'm with you in this pain I understand and
it's alright to go a little bonkers but just remember everything is under
control God knows what you're going through it's
meant for good alright just believe it even if you don't understand it okay
this is Vihan Damaris on Serious Sundays signing off and I'll see you tomorrow on
miraculous Mondays bye bye and strive to be like Jesus now where were your periods
huh
