God's Will?

Some say that disease is God's will to rid the world of gays and other malcontents.  Does He have that kind of power?  Does He have the ability to strike down those of us in the physical world or is it the spirits within us and around us, that shape our lives, give us hope or sorrow, health or sickness?

Within my own life, I have found myself battling something inside me, yet I do not yet know what it is I am fighting.  I've had a couple fainting spells that started Wednesday before last.  I was playing some basketball with friends at the park after work, then met up at a bar for a drink and a quick bite to eat.  I was sipping a beer, waiting for food, and next thing I know, I'm on my back, looking up at a crowd of people over me.  Paramedics came, and with some questions, decided to take me to emergency.  After doing a few tests, and talking with the doctors, they decided that I was just dehydrated and that I should be fine.  Mark drove down from SB, and I waited around until he was able to pick me up.  Originally, I thought I just needed to slow down a little bit, that I was trying to do too much, but since, I've had a couple more dizzy spells, and generally just not feeling myself.  I've gone to the doctor, and they've done a ton of tests, but they can't seem to figure out what is wrong, as they tell me I'm perfectly healthy.  They have scheduled an appointment with a brain specialist for Monday morning, as I collapsed, again, this past Thursday night.

My mom is afraid that I am going to die, and my aunt thinks it is God's will ...

I am feeling better today, so thought I would put together a quick post to update those of you that keep up with my life and, maybe starting to find my libido, I have even included a few pics.

Pray for me, and, in turn, I will pray for you--

  1. Hey Rafa, my thoughts and prayers are with you babe. I hope you get to the root of the problem, i fainted one time in the doctors waiting room and it was the most horrible experience. I hadn't been feeling good and went for the appointment, it was very warm inside and i had a lot of clothes on, i began to feel unwell and then suddenly everything started spinning and next thing i know a nurse is trying to bring me round!

    A bizarre experience for me as normally apart from the odd niggle here and there i'm pretty healthy.

    Anyway just to let you know i'm thinking of you and hoping it's something you can get sorted pretty quickly. It may be just too much work! you reach a point where the elastic gets stretched just so far to the point where your body and mind just rebels and stops working.

    love you, Spartan

  2. Oh Rafa,

    It must be horrible for you to not be in control. I hope the doctors have nothing but good news for you. And that you are better soon.

    No offense to Mom, but Italians tend to be a bit dramatic in these situations. And if your Aunt means "Gods will" in a good way, yes I agree. When God needs you he needs you. But I firmly believe that he knows we need you more right now. If she meant "weeding out", sorry Rafa but your Aunt can get F*%@ED. That's not how GOD works. Sorry, no disespect meant.

    I worry about you, but I know that you will be fine. Take your own advice and "Slow the Fuck down!" We miss you here in blogger never land, but we are willing to wait for you for however long it takes you to feel better.

    I don't need a promise of prayer return to pray for you.
    I Love you and you are always in my prayers.

    Get well soon Darling.

  4. Thank you all for your concern and your prayers. Today was my best day, energy wise, in some time.

    Spartan and Corey Jo, as always, you guys are the best! I know, in the end, I'll be fine, I just need to fight the fight and get better. It's just so hard, when I don't quite know what it is I am fighting against. Yes, I know my Mom's overreactive and my Aunt, although what she says is horrible and hurtful, isn't spouting out hate, but fear for her beloved nephew. I know, in her heart, she says these things because she cares and loves me. It's not an excuse for her, just an understanding of where she is coming from.

    Mike, thank you for reaching out and caring about me. Hearing from you has been a bolster to my spirit and put a smile on my lips. Thank you for your words and thoughts.
