Peace

This has been a challenging bit of the year for me. On Tuesday, May 13 I went to the ER by my house thinking I might have a blood clot.

It all started the night before. Jes had come over and we were crafting - getting ready for Book Fair- my FAVORITE time of year. I got ready for bed and started feeling pain in my thigh. I hadn't exercised much so I knew it wasn't from that, but I'm on my feet a lot so I rubbed oils on it, took Advil and went to bed. I woke up at 4:30 the next morning with the worst Charlie Horse ever, at least that's what I thought till I stood up and couldn't walk. Eek! I soaked in a warm bath and kept thinking something about this was not normal. To keep my mind off the pain I read Kiera Cass's new book, The Heir. So thanks Mom for letting me borrow it- forgot to tell you that part!!

Then God brought to mind a friend at work who had a blood clot about a year ago. I texted her around 6:00 and she told me to get straight to the ER. I am convinced God saved my life because after running tests they found a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) in my left leg and PE (pulmonary embolism) in my lungs. I had very little breathing reserve left. The doctor later talked to me and said, "I'm so glad you're ok. You could have died." I did not realize the seriousness of it.

Thankfully from the moment I stepped in the ER to the 2nd time I was released from the hospital I felt peace. Peace like no other. I know it's from friends, family and loved ones praying for me so THANK YOU. It's a peace like I've never experienced before and today is the 1st day I felt stress since May 13th. That is a miracle. So thank you for praying and please continue to pray PEACE over my mind, body, and specifically finances. God will provide and He saved my life. One little paycheck is nothing to him!!!

Love you all!
