I have been though a lot in my life. Unknowingly when I thought I was alone God was there, Even in my worst of times.
I got married in 1998 at th age of 28. Became pregnant a few months later. On feb 3,1999, My life forever changed. I began to develope complications and I was dying. My doc told me I would have to have an emergency C-section to save me and my baby. Everyone around me was in a panic. My nurse told me you must be the strong one because you are so calm. Truly it was not the the situation I wanted to be in, but it was what it was. My family and were told I could die on the table and that premie boys are "weak".
I didn't make any deals with God. I just prayed that if it was my time to go and I didn't wake up that my family would be ok, that my baby would survive and thrive. I did tell God that if I woke up, that my life would forever change.
I had no fear and the docs and nurses ran around me sticking my viens with needles prepping me for surgery. I told God I trusted Him and put my life before Him in His hands. My life ran through my mind like a video tape playing in a VCR. I knew at that point I had done all that I could do in my life. The last thing I remember was getting stuck by a needle filled with something to knock me out, it burned and tears came to my eyes. My nurses words to me were I will be here through the surgery and I will be here when you wake up.
There are no words for me to say that could describe this. When I woke up 2 hours after, I was alive. My son 4-1/2pounds was thriving and not the "weak" baby my doc said he would be. I was in Surgical ICU and didn't see him for 3 days. He was in the hospital for a total of 13 days.I went to the hospital everyday untill he was released. He is now 8 years old. He is 4' 11", weighs about 130 pounds and is the biggest kid in his class. So much for being "weak"!
I am not perfect, I do fall down. I am learning daily how to be a better person, a bettter christian. I try to be a positive spirit. I talk about God, Jesus and the Bible any time I get a chance to anyone who wants to listen. I want to be a part of that line that proves God and His Son exist and don't have to be seen. I am proof of life, second chances, what ever you want to call it.
My LifeSong is that I was given an oportunity to show people that God/Jesus are there and there is always a better way to find happiness in life through Christ. I have been Blessed and continue to be Blessed everyday that I am able to spend my life with family and friends. I try to pass those blessing on to others by showing them they can have the happiness I have with the Grace of God.
