Help Me I'm Choking!
By Mark Flippo
This was a little scary to me. I was in bed and started coughing. I grabbed for a pill to stop it. When I drank my water to wash it down, I was not sitting upright. My pill lodged in my throat, and it started to dissolve. All of those chemicals in the pill started draining down my throat and some went into my lungs. They were burning me, and I started having trouble breathing. I could not speak to call on Jesus, so I just began to cry out in my distress with my thoughts. My eyes began to water, and I could not see where I was walking. My nose also was running.
I had so many thoughts going through my mind. Do I need to go to the hospital? What am I to do? I grabbed a banana in hopes of pushing the pill down into my stomach. It did not work. Just then a thought came to me to grab a soda and sit and slowly drink it having it help the pill to finish dissolving. I just had to get ahold of my thoughts and nerves. My wife came out to check on me and she had the same thought. Try drinking a soda.
I just thought Jesus I am trusting you to help this problem to be resolved. It worked. It took a while. I had a new appreciation for people with COPD and Asthma. All of you received some extra prayer that night. God does help us if we will get a grip on ourselves and calm down. He will work it out if you give Him the time to do so. Praise God!
