my heart crys HOLY!

in case any are wondering -- my mom is out of the hospital. she is on many restrictions, but she promises she will do her best to follow them.

as we were talking last night, my mom revealed something that i believe God kept from me to protect me. she said her doctor informed her that her stomach looked like a bomb had exploded in her - that's how much a mess her stomach was. that if she would have waited until thurs. to recieve help, she would have either been too bled out to save or her stomach would have been removed; emergency surgery.

neither option sounded good - but praise be to our God who is ever present and always protecting, providing, and sustaining because He has done great things -- and I am filled with joy!

He knew i was on the edge emotionally as it was -- so He lovingly shielded me from that which would have harmed me - instead He allowed me to question, He allowed me to cry out, He allowed me to walk with His strengh - but most of all, He allowed/provided the means and way/invited me to walk by faith - not of my own power - but only by and throug His.

my heart was guarded with His peace and love, my steps were ordered in His sight, my God didn't leave me -- as jermey camp stated, "Jesus, you have carried me" - that's what He did!

and for all He did and didn't allow I say Thank you - my God and My King! You are Holy, Worthy, Powerful, Just, Mighty -- You are I AM and I will be your daughter!
