This past week has been stressful to say the least. A little background? My mom has been really sick. She's been sick for a while. Since December she's had no energy. No desire to do anything. Since my dads Alzheimer's diagnosis she's shut down. She's used to being cared for. Not caring for. See in her 40s she had two heart attacks. Actually at my age really. So she subconsciously hoped to check out so she wouldn't have to watch my dad. Her sweetest husband. Godly man go down like she thinks he will.
Now on to the rest of the story. God is faithful. He will get our attention. And it may be in a way that we aren't find of. So mom goes in the hospital. She was swollen all over. Arms legs torso and fluid was everywhere. She had an emergency blood transfusion. Then lots of diuretics The miracle happened the first night in the hospital. God prompted me to call my pastor and neighbor in jackson ms. ( all this time I'm stuck in Pensacola) he shows up to speak truth to them and pray with them. While he was there my mom confessed that she didn't know for sure if she was going to heaven. The enemy was defeated that night and another life won for Jesus christ. Praise Him for this trial. Praise Him for her surrendering to Him. And for hearing all the prayers going up in our behalf. Peace is with us and there's proof that He works all for good!
In Him

Wow, Kim. I didn't realize all that was going on. I praise God with you that your mom has surrendered her life to Jesus!
ReplyDeleteI pray that she'll continue to heal physically as well. I'll also keep your family in my prayers for your dad's Alzheimer's diagnosis. My mom had Alzheimer's so I know how hard it can be on everybody.
