I started this yesterday 11/7.... Every time, I wanted to sit down and blog, something else happened. It was a crazy chaotic weekend, full of ups and downs... That's for sure!
So please check out other Gratitude Challenge posts over at Garden of Learning.
Day 5
I'm thankful for the Prayer Warriors in my life! ~ Saturday it was a day of work for me. We had to set up at the Trade Days and sell all the goodies we have been busy making.... But with this day, I was so very sick. I was having lots of bladder/ kidney issues and getting sicker... I had to end up going to the ER. And at the ER they found some other issues of concern, but instead of letting these issues and things not of God bring fear into my life, I found not only peace in knowing that I am healed by Jesus Christ's stripes, that I could find peace with my dear Prayer Warriors! So when they started finding these other issues of concern, I first sent my prayer request out to some great Prayer Warriors, and then I stopped and prayed, and I had peace. I gave it to God, and I think not only did I find peace because I gave it to God, but because I knew I had awesome Prayer Warrior standing with me in prayer, and believing for the good results! And so I'm so very thankful for the Prayer Warrior that in my life! And just an fyi, all will be good. One of the biggest issue was my BP, and even though that ER doc didn't think it was at all from pain, I knew God had not brought me this far to have going down that road... And I'm proud to say it was pain related, and God showed the doc, he has control!
Day 6
I'm so thankful for a Church Home. After being transferred at the end of 2006, we have not truly found a Church Home. We have tried many and went to some and gave it a real shot at staying there, but none were home. It was something we wanted as a family and was really hard being placed in these locations and not having a Church to call home. But that all has recently changed and I'm so very thankful that we now have a beautiful Church Home for our family! It's perfect for us and we are being fed so much!
Day 7
Today I'm thankful my girl is ok! And that God took control and took care of her! WHEW, let me tell ya, Satan is really trying us! and I think it's because we have a Church Home, and are digging deeper and deeper in our walk with God! Last night we had one heck of a scare! My sweet Lil E was injured and we had to take her to the ER with a head injury. Let's just say another kid jumped off a chester drawers and landed on her head. It was bad! Super scary! I put ice on and tried to calm her. But this didn't happen. We prayed over her and continued to comfort and cradle her. Then it was obvious that something wasn't right. I have never saw her cry like this! Never! Then she started kicking her feet and flinging her arms! And I said ok, it's time, carry her to the van and I'll get my purse we are going to the ER. We live in the country and I could drive her to the ER and be there in nearly what it would take and maybe faster, to just get us an ambulance here. With a medical background, I knew what to watch for and what to do to help her in many situations. We had out and she because very sick at her stomach and is dry heaving. (hadn't ate much as she has strep, we found out friday.) Get to the ER and they take us before all these people and even move us in front of a couple of trauma patients and those coming by ambulance. So this pretty much freaks me out. The doc says we need to move fast and go ahead and do a CT Scan. He tells me, I know there are many risks, but I feel it is a must.... Of course I said yes...... Then we go through that and all this is going on... ( I get to test some of those really GREAT prayer warriors with prayer request again. I'm really thankful for them).... Then the dreaded news from the doctor "We see something small and I can't be sure, so we have had to call the Radiologist in. I have decided to wait to call in a NeuroSurgeon until after the Radiologist looks at the ct"... and he leaves me waiting... Just like that, and that's all he will tell me. I try to ask questions, and he says no need to discuss what if's, we need to just wait and see...... I really just pleed the blood of Jesus over her. I start to freak and with the some great prayer warriors praying with us, I tell hubby, God has this! He has control... It will be fine! I know she will be ok............ And as this post started out with, I'm thankful she is ok! After our delay, we have the news.... She is good! That small was just some bruising and she has a concussion, but she is going to be fine! Praise the Lord!!!! Thank you Jesus!!! God delivered and I kept the faith in him, as fear is not of God! And I had to remind myself of these many times, but I told hubby and found peace while waiting on the radiologist, that I knew she would be ok, I just had to keep the faith and believe that! That God would make sure of it, and he did!!! So I can't even begin to tell you just how thankful I am that sweet Lil E is ok!!!
Also, I am so excited to be meeting so many great folks doing this challenge and new friendships forming! I'm thankful for all my new followers. I'm really blessed beyond!
Hugs and Blessings,
