Words To Live By

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Blessings From My "Curse"

So most of you know that I have had heart problems going on a year and a half now. I call it my curse, because with my family history I was a walking heart problem waiting to happen. Today I had my very last doctor appointment, Lord willing for a very long time. It feels weird to be "better", haha, well I'm still medicated but for the most part better. Tonight I wanted to share some of the blessings that I experienced while on this road.
I never thought I would find a blessing in this annoying problem, but there are so many blessings I can't even mention them all. To begin my friends have been so supportive. We've had some good times laughing about my ridiculous looking heart monitors and such. The friends that came with me to doctor appointments and sat through my doctor rambling about all the things that are wrong. Thank you.
My doctor was a huge blessings. I could have not asked for a better doctor. He was caring and informative and always wanted to keep my parents in the loop, since they are 2000 miles away. He gave us his personal numbers and email so I could call me anytime I needed anything. He always asked about school and grades, boys and such, took time to actually get to know me. I'm really gonna miss the guy haha.
Another huge blessing was learning to rely on God in a way I would have never. He required totally faith on my part, because for almost a year no one could find the reason for my racing heart. It annoyed me and sometimes down right scared me, what if I was something worse than just tachycardia?!? But he comforted me with His word and my friends. I remember calling Joey after the doctor to run some blood tests to rule out other illnesses. The doctor threw out the word cancer and its scared me to tears. Joey assured me that all the blood test would come back negative, they were running them as a rule out. He was so confident and calm that I knew he knew what he was talking about.
To conclude: God, the ultimate healer, has showed himself faith again. I am blessed to be here and healthy and knowing why my heart acts the way it does. I thank God for the people he has brought in and out of my life threw this all, it was an adventure.

James 5:15 "And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well..."
Psalm 51:17 "God never rejects a weak and weary heart that seeks Him. No matter how broken-down and overwhelmed we are, God welcomes us and is willing and able to help us."
