Fiery Hands

Something happened for the first time yesterday. My hands were like on fire, and I can't stay still. I can feel the heat radiating through my fingers yet other people can't even see my pain. It was excruciatingly painful, I can't even come close to expressing it. It's like a hundred it you ask me to rate it from 1-10. I tried everything, from water to oil, even detergent, toothpaste, shower gel, any liquids you name it I've tried it, it won't go away. Finally after hours of trying (and a whole lot of ice!) it finally died down and my hands are mine again. Alhamdulillah. It was all a battle to test my mental ability, whether I am strong enough to overcome the pain, bcs its just internal pain, it's not a wound that is exposed or bleeding. And I said to myself, if I can go through that, I can go through anything, if Allah wills it. 

Darn you extra hot chilies.

Now who's up for some sambal? :B
