God Answers: Miracles From A Hospital Room

Hospitals make me weak.
Hospitals strike an immediate fear in me.
Hospitals bring sadness to me.
Hospitals smell funny.
Hospitals are one of my fears.

Today is the end of my Grandmas 3rd week in the hospital. I wanted to share some information on my struggles that goes along with my 3rd spiritual uplifter.
and remember everyone has struggles and doubts

--The first day my grandmother was emitted in the hospital made me have nausia in the pit of my stomach that nothing could cure.
It was at about 2:00 on a Wednesday evening that I was told by my mother that she had been rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.
I can remember that text message so clearly because I was in English where we were watching the movie "Stranger Than Fiction" and I turned to my friend Miranda; and the look on her face made me know that the look on mine was a million times worse.
I was pale,ghostly white, and I felt like I could have vomited because I had worried myself sick all in a matter of about a minute.
My grandmother who had always made sure that we were fed, never let us put ourselves down, and would have given everything she had to save one of us.
my grandma was in the hospital
2:55 the bell rang to get out of school; I was out of English, through the school parking lot and in my car by 3.
As I sat in that sea green waiting room chair all I could do was bow my head and pray and hope.
The voice of my Aunt telling my parents the news was a blur.
i was officially numb.
somehow I had managed not to cry yet; the worry was too great I guess.
when I heard our named called so that we could go back and see her I rose.
I pushed through the tan doors which felt like they weighed about 2 tons on my palm and entered the 2nd room on the right.
the image of my grandmother in that hospital bed will forever be burned into my memory.
the pain on her face made me want to fall to my knees and ask "Why?".
everyone made no impact that they were there to her.
I turned from the door and walked away as fast as could; and thats when the tears made their entrance that never left.
she was told they were rushing her into immediate surgery because she had an ulcer in her stomach that needed to be repaired asap.
for a reason that I have yet to know they decided to wait on her surgery and put her in a room
room 228
she was in an unexplainable pain for about 2 days.
as the 3rd day rolled around we were all nervous wrecks and her little hospital room couldnt hold all 7 of us but we made sure it did because none of us were leaving and none of us wanted anyone too.
the 2nd memory that I will have forever is when her doctor came into the room, sat down on my grandmas bed and asked to talk to us.
I could read it off his face
that nausia was back, my tears were streaming down my face at an uncontrollable pace and I couldnt make eye contact with anyone.
she was told that they were taking her into immediate surgery, they had to get this repaired before it got so bad that it could take her life.
they couldnt wait any longer.
I couldnt feel my hands, my feet. I couldnt think, my lips were paralyzed and my body couldnt feel the slightest touch of comfort
the numbness had paralyzed every working organ, body part, and feeling in me.
I had nothing; except God and my family.
and when we all held hands,bowed our heads and talked to God I felt a peace inside me that I could never explain to you in words.
for he was with me
the night she was emitted I was on my knees praying for her harder than I have ever prayed for anything in my life.
tomorrow marks her 4th week and that same strong praying for her hasnt yeilded itself.
and it wont.
her surgery was a major surgery in which some people die on the table.
my grandma made it through
I can not give thanks to God enough for all his miracles
and everyday I see him healing her; just like I prayed he would
he got my attention and now I see all his blessings to me.

-I asked "Why?" alot
but I never lost my faith that he was going to shield her and make her okay.
we all ask why at some point.
just give it to God.
he will heal you
he will assure you
he will make you better
he will hold you in his arms
he will NEVER leave you

I hope my story showed you that we aren't all perfect and I never claimed to be.
we all struggle.
and you know when someone says "I think i've cried so much that I couldnt cry for another year"
thats what I feel like now.
take it to God.

I love you Mamaw

God Bless

In Christ,

Spiritual Uplifter 3: ATTENTION!

Have you ever been on a plane?
What about a plane that has went through turbulance?

--If you have then you may have heard your Pilot come over the intercom and ask "Hello Passengers, Can I have your attention please?"

Have certain things arose in your life lately where maybe you have asked God "Lord why me? Why is this happening to me at this time?"
but have you ever really taken the time to listen to his reply or see his work right in front of you?
maybe those problems arose so God could get your Attention.
Believe me I think we have all been at that stage where confusion and doubt enters our minds.
for instance if you have a family member in the hospital, if your having friends or family problems.
maybe you have just asked God "Why me?"
God wants each and ever one of us to to bring all our worries,struggles,conflicts,sicknesses, EVERYTHING to him in prayer.
Talk to God, let him know what your going through because he is an awesome and caring God and he can get you through any situation.
So if God is asking "Can I have your Attention"
...listen...
for he is the great one, your father, your redemer, your strength, your passion, your best friend, your rock, YOUR EVERYTHING.
without him who would you be?

So my challenge to you is to take the time to listen to God.
because maybe he's asking for your Attention.




God Bless.

In Christ,

Be With Your Family and Show Them Your Unconditional Love

My Hospital Days and Times

Day: 3 Hours: 21

As some of you may know from my blog my grandmother is in the hospital.
Today was her 3rd day in the hospital in which she was told at about 2:30 that she needed immediate surgery.
My grandmother had a Prefferated Ulcer at the top of her stomach.
If you dont know what an ulcer is, it is a hole in your stomach.
as she was being told what was going to happen, when she would be operated on, and what the doctors saw on her catscan, I started to cry even more than I had before.
but as we all held hands and prayed I felt an assurance that things were going to be alright for my Grandmother and family.
I am so blessed and thankful how great and amazing God is.
he was with my mamaw all the way through her surgery and brought her out.
i am so thankful and happy that she is okay
She will be a sick lady for awhile but i am so blessed that my mamaw is okay and is done hurting and I know that the Lord will lay his healing hand on her.

Thank you Lord, you are amazing and healing. You never left our sides as we grieved and mostly you never left my Grandmothers' side. I can never truly explain to you how blessed I am by you. You amaze me more and more every single day! Thank you so much Lord. You are always by our sides.
Your Truly Amazing.
I love you!

God Bless.

Spiritual Uplifter 2: Praying

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it, and it will be yours. "
- Mark 11: 22-24

And pray that we may be delivered from the wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
- 2 Thessalonians 3: 2-3

--Prayer is our way of talking to the Lord. He loves to hear from us just like our family or friends. But do you know what each of your fingers mean when you pray?



Each finger represents things you should pray for in your prayer to the Lord your God.

The Thumb: The people closest to you
ex: your family,friends,animals..etc.

Index Finger: People in who Own or are in charge of something
ex: your principal, your teachers, your boss...etc.

Middle Finger: Your Leaders
ex: the president, members of congress, the mayor...etc.

The Ring Finger (Your Weakest Finger): The sick or the weak; People who may need God or are struggling

Pinky Finger: Yourself

--Did you know that? When I first learned that I realized I had some things to work on in my prayer myself.
For instance praying for yourself last.
With all the worrys and the fears in our everyday life ill admit that I didnt always pray for myself last.
Now I realize that no matter what may happen or what natural disaster or economy situation arises; we're going to be alright.
For the Lord himself said:
I will NEVER leave or forsake you.
-Hebrews 13: 14

So I challenge you from now on to work on your prayer.
Are you praying the way we are supposed to?
and even if you are im sure theres always something small we could fix with it. :)

God Bless
