For 25 years, I've been using the Lord's name in vain. I wasn't a Christian so what did I care? It wasn't until I was baptized that I realized the magnitude of using His name as a curse word, not to mention that the Bible says its considered blasphemy. Of course, I've been trying to limit the amount of "God" curses I use, but it wasn't until a couple of days ago that it really started to concern me. Yesterday, I prayed to God to help me stop using His name in vain. Not even help me with cursing, because in my opinion, those other words are just words. Its His name that are sacred and have power behind them. So, yesterday I prayed.
I went to go workout and halfway through it my tongue started to feel tingly. Whatever... I'm taking creatine so maybe its making it feel tingly all of a sudden? As the day went on, my tongue went numb... Weird... but maybe its still the creatine. This morning, I woke up and my lips were now numb. I feel like I just left the dentist. I tried to smile and only my right side smiled while my left side stayed put. I didn't panic, but I did start to wonder: is this His work directly effecting me physically? I mean, I did ask for His help and I guess numbing my entire mouth and half of my face is a good way of saying "bite your tongue, child." In all honesty, I hope it is Him temporarily numbing me, because this is INTENSE. I'm so uncomfortable. But really, temporarily uncomfortable-ness is worth it to stop saying His name in vain. I'm hoping within the next couple of days I regain feeling as well as stop saying His name in vain altogether.
