Yep, there I go....literally tripping down the first step into the arena!SPLAT!!!! "falling" on my face, BAM right against the hand rail my face, big bump starts to grow immediately, for which I missed holding ....rolling my left ankle, CRUNCH....AAAWWWEEE! of course the next few minutes of hoping against hope nobody noticed!! No such luck! My poor friend was so scared for me, I hate that and even more ruining the evening and then a person who works there and a couple of nice men to help forklift me up! UGH! Really need to work on that diet!
Could I embarrass myself more! Yes I am vain enough to think of the embarrassment more than the fact I nearly died of blunt force trauma to the head wounds! Dying would have been a plus at this point...kill me now, Lord! But no, I recover, get my big self up, shake off, swear I am fine and as best as I can look like I am not in awful pain I hobble down to my seat where a few of my friends are watching in shock.
Yep that was me who face planted up there! Oh no I am fine....."only a flesh wound!" (holy grail reference, btw) but as I sat the more I hurt. Then the medic comes .....ugh! Everyone staring....ok just so we got this straight, If I am entertaining a crowd in some funny way with my obvious Wit then I love it...look on, love me! But when I am in this compromising situation all vulnerable ...eeek!
The EMT guy was very sweet, he knew I was embarrassed ....looked at my head, my foot, gave me a ice pack, took my BP, through the roof of course! Offered me transport to hospital, I decline( later I thought I may should have gone as my pain worsened and I have never gotten to ride in an ambulance!) "please sign this release ma'am", translation ....so I don't sue them( not their fault I am a klutz !).
Finally he left, stop blocking the isles, I could chill. The sweet young guy in front of me asked if I was gonna live, offered to pray for me, which was soooo sweet and cute, he did ( we were in a room full of Christians, glad somebody thought of it!) and then the music started. Everyone stood nearly the whole time!!!! I attempted to show a good front, stood up too.. ...ok not for long, reminding myself I believe in healing, began to convince myself of that fact.
I enjoyed the view from my perspective, a sea of worshippers....beautiful! I found a ridiculous way to "fall" for Jesus but I got to watch thousands of people, primarily 20 to 30 year olds falling too! Sometimes worship can be a spectator sport, not my first choice but good all the same. Gives one hope to see people still hungry for God.
Now I know why I am an indoor person, it's not safe out there!
