Photo taken September 2013
Today is my third anniversary from my aneurysm episode of June 13, 2013. A lot has happened in the last three years, some good, some tragic. But, God was in control of it all. Every morning when I open my eyes I thank the Lord for allowing me another day. He is gracious! Nathaniel made a CD of songs that reminded him of that awful day. He gave it to me this morning as we were driving to a friend's house. I can only imagine the stress he was under at that time, but I have some wonderful friends who were there, and supported him with prayers and love. I will be so ever grateful to all of you!! This photo was taken a couple of months after my first and second surgery, I was preparing for my third surgery in October of 2013. My hair was accustomed to a comb over. I was so tired, my nappy hair! Thanks, David!! Who recently also reminded me on how I kicked death in the ass, and how much stronger I was because of it. I would like to take credit of such acts of courage and strength, but I believe the Lord gave the first blow so that the impact on my part would not be so hard. It is wonderful to know that God went before me.
I now work in the same hospital that was my home for almost a month, and I am now in the ER, that is where God placed me. I love it!! I have had so many opportunities to pray for many who were afraid, and I have had the chance when God has allowed me to share my story with patients and their families. I follow my Lord's lead on what He wants for me and He has given me some fantastic adventures. As I write this, my heart goes out to so many that suffer such heartache with their own fights and losing loved ones. I pray and hope that by sharing my story with you, it will bring you comfort and peace with whatever you are going through. I want to encourage you and share that our Father is a good God, and faithful in everything!!
Rachel Platten, "Fight Song"
This song was in the CD my son had made for me. I love it!!
