Thursday night I thought I was dying. Unrealistic? Possibly. But I felt strongly about it! 2 words: food poisoning.<\/b> To say it was sudden and horrific and momentarily life-altering is an understatement. One of those times when no one can help you and all you can pray is “Jesus.”<\/em><\/p>\n

A wonderful day and dinner out with family, then 3 hours later- WHAM. The only one in the crowd. Being so sick made me vividly remembered labor… out of control… \u00a0baby coming… ready or not. Deliriously I related these two events.\u00a0As my life ebbed away (feel the drama) I tried to think through everything I was thankful for – so many blessings.<\/p>\n

I kept recalling what my husband endured in the hospital years ago and wondered if he’d felt like this – so weak, helpless?\u00a0Difficult hours went by in the dark, yet snatches of rest grew longer. I finally dozed off. I woke up barely able to move, but I was free, it was over! I thought of all the healing stories in the Bible. I shared in their moment of worship… sun dawned, birds sang and the whole world seemed a little sweeter.<\/p>\n

Appreciation for good health and slowly returning strength were peace after the storm. I hadn’t specifically felt<\/em> God in the night, but I knew He was there somewhere. Staying up with me, protecting and allowing my body to fight for its life. Silly? I think not. I will grab hold of any lesson He uses to teach me trust… while\u00a0praying I never have to repeat it.<\/p>\n

I hope you all stay well in the New Year \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
