How do you know if God is punishing you physically?
Just for some background, I've struggled with intense menstrual pain since I was a little girl. I would throw up and pass out constantly from the pain, until I got put on birth control to stop my periods completely. I haven't had my period in a long time because of it, and it's been great.
Yesterday, I decided to skip school today because I wanted to go shopping with my grandma. I felt bad about skipping school, but I'm a 4.3 GPA student with perfect attendance, so I thought it would be fine. However, I woke up this morning bleeding through my pants with awful cramps (this hasn't happened in a LONG time). I hadn't changed anything in my diet or exercise and I'd been taking my medicine perfectly normal. I ended up missing school AND shopping because I physically couldn't walk without puking.
At first, I thought God did it because I planned to shop instead of go to school. I thought He was like, "Oh, you want to skip? I'll give you a reason to skip." But I don't understand why He would be petty like that. I also think maybe it was the reason behind why I wanted to shop. I really wanted to get a bikini, not like a horribly skimpy one, but still a two piece.
I've never worn something like that before, and usually I wear floor length dresses and skirts every day, so I find myself to be pretty modest. I think the reason He did it was because I planned on buying something immodest? I don't mean to be skimpy or anything but I want to wear something cute, plus my family and friends make fun of me for wearing one pieces and swim dresses.
Another thing I considered (I know this isn't in my main question so you don't have to answer), is reincarnation. I don't believe in reincarnation, but I went on a tour to a Hindu temple the other day, and the man said that the bad things that happen in this life are a result of the bad things you do in your past life (for example, one man at the temple suffered from severe migraines, turns out a hypnotist helped him see his past life somehow and he had drilled a screw into a dog's head), so I've been trying to think of what I could have possibly done in a past life to deserve this much pain.
TL;DR: I’ve had really severe period pain since I was little, but birth control stopped my periods and it’s been fine for a long time. I skipped school to go shopping with my grandma, but then I suddenly got my period again out of nowhere and was in so much pain I couldn’t even go. Now I’m wondering if it happened for a reason, like if God was punishing me for skipping school or for wanting to buy a bikini, or if it’s some kind of karma, even though I don’t really believe in that.
