Poked and Superpoked !

The much dreaded hour finally arrived and i was called into the room. On my way there, i continued to pray for the Lord's grace, divine favour and wisdom to cover me.

The Lamb and The Ex-pope were seated each on either side of the long table and i sat right in between. The Accidental Cyclist joined us later and i felt bad he had to cancel his leave to conduct the IP. It's terrible to know how many people had to be directly or indirectly dragged into this shit because of me. Still, i thank God he turned up and also for the comforting presence of The Lamb, (he is unto me the 'rod and staff' of the shepherd in Psalms 23).

As i quickly gulped down my 'comfort food', the chocolate that i've hastily popped into my mouth for boosting my energy, i was told the 'grilling' officially begins today.

The session went on for about 1 and a half hours during which i was poked and superpoked (in Facebook language) and fired with about 40 shots.

All thanks be to God for the Ex-pope was the kind and understanding Dr Jekyll today instead of the much anticipated and dreaded Mr Hyde ! Hallelujah! It has to be God!

Although i was poked and superpoked, none of the pokes were nasty nor mean and although 40 over shots were fired at me, each was cushioned with God's grace and i managed to survive the one and half hours without an emotional breakdown. i even managed to view the playback for a second time and was no longer traumatised by it but saw in a clearer way what could possibly have distracted me at that point. i wasn't sure i gave the most satisfactory answers but i did my best by God's grace. Whatever the outcome, i accept it with a thankful heart knowing my Abba is in charge and i can continue to rest in Him. May He watch over whoever that may have to attend the 'poking' sessions as well and cover them with His grace and divine favour.

Oh Give Thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
And gathered out of the lands from the east and from the west
From the north and from the south....[Psalms 107]
