Testimony. . . Thank God.

Something just happened to me that cannot be explained other than an act of GOD.  Here is the story:

In August 2011, I got sick with a fever.  At first, I was trying to tough it out because it's just a fever, nothing that some soup and bed rest couldn't handle.  But my fever would not go down.  100. . .100.4. . . 101.3. . .you know a fever is bad when your temperature sounds like a radio station.  102. . . 103.4. . . . It just kept on rising and I kept on trying to tough it out.  My mother wanted to take me to the hospital and I said no, I'll be okay plus I don't have insurance and I don't want to deal with that bill.  But if it rises another degree, we gotta go to the hospital.  I'm weak and burning up.  Hoping that a shower would make me feel better, I hop in, wash up, get out and lay back down to take a nap.

When I woke up. . . . .104.3. . . and I felt like death.  Thinking about my deteriorated health made my uninsured self realized that a hospital bill might not be that bad.  I called my mother and said, we gotta go to the hospital. Extremely weak, couldn't barely walk, dry heaving, I somehow make it to the car.  I get to the hospital, stumble through the ER doors and get taken directly to see a doctor.  I was given a cold IV and Incredible Hulk Strength Tylenol.  It helped.

I was feeling better and when I got home my gf was waiting for me there worried sick about me.  That made me feel good.  But then the bill came. . . . . $4,083.34.



$4,083.34


I saw that and was like. . . .


Yup, the hospital gave me a bill for $4,083.34.  Of course I couldn't pay that.  So the bill went to a collection agency where they tracked me down and I gave what I could each month.  Unfortunately it was no more than $100 a month.  But every time they called, I picked, made polite conversation, never got an attitude and paid.

The last time I checked I got my bill down to $3,258.00.

Here is where God comes in and says, you are my child and I got you my nigga. . . .(ok, so he didn't say those words exactly but it was close to it)

Couple days ago I get a phone call from the collection agency asking for my payment.   Since they already had my information on file I ask them to take $100 from my card on file.  The person on the phone says, "We can't do that".  I ask, "Hmm, Why not?".  They reply, " Because all you owe on this account is $90.57"

$90.57


First i was like. . .


Then I was like. . .




But ultimately, I was like. . .

As of now, my medical bill debt is paid and I owe $0.00. 

If God can bring you to it, He can bring you through it.  I got deathly sick, got hit with a hefty medical bill, but God got me through it and took care of my debt.  I can't thank anyone but God for this blessing.  

Prayer works people,

Keep on praying,

Let the Lord use you,

Keep on evolving,

Mr. Robinson
