Last week I wrote about courage. I had ask for courage, hoped for courage, and little did I know it would take more than courage to get us through the next few days. On Wednesday morning, my husband had a Pulmonary embolism, it is commonly called a blood clot.The clot went through his heart and splintered off into his lungs. When the doctor came into our room in CCU he told me, my husband had survived the clot that is known as the drop dead clot. We held our breath and trusted God that he would protect him through the next few days. It was, to say the least the most difficult time in our life. If I am to be honest somewhere in this process, faith took over. I believe in prayer, I believe that if we have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can say to the mountain move, and it will move. I believe this, but I have not seen this happen all that often. I have now seen with my own eyes that nothing is impossible with God. The prayers of God's people carried us through the days that we were both unable to pray or even think. I said thanks before, and now I say it again. Thank you for your kindness, your prayers and holding us up in this difficult time.

Thanks!


What do you do when you can't think of a single verse, or an instance when God gave courage to those who had no courage. How is it that you can read and study the Bible for years and in the midst of a storm your mind is blank. That's what friends are for. To remind us, to hold us up and to pray for us. I can't thank my friends enough for all the prayers that were sent up for my husband. I am so glad that he found a small amount of courage and rememembered that God is faithful when we hang on to courage.
