There is so much to be thankful for in this season. I'm so thankful for a sound mind. For having peace during the process and for the love that's been showered on me so much that it overwhelmed me at times.
Jesus Culture - My One My All ft. Chris McClarney (Audio)
Today makes two weeks since I had a loop recorder implanted in my chest to monitor my heart rate. To provide some comfort I was told that the procedure could be done in my hospital room. They came later than I expected but when they came in all I saw was a sea of blue. I asked the doctor if I could play my playlist. My worship playlist on Tidal has gotten me through so many things.
Once they were prepared and ready for the procedure there was a person in charge of checking on me as I was prevented from seeing the actually procedure. His name was Doug. He was so kind to me.
When the doctor began his incision this song began to play. Those tears were warm and flowed heavy. Doug just stayed with me as I sang this song. I was comforted by the kind words of everyone in the room and as soon as they left my room my nurse and PCA were coming in to check on me. They were my angels.
Every time I hear this song I think of that moment and I think of the first time I'd ever heard this song. I was at Woman Evolve in Denver. God already knew. He prepared me for this journey. For that I'm thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving
There is so much to be thankful for this year. I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. Take a moment to pray for families who are mourning, for families who have lost their home and for families who don't know where their next meal is coming from.
I'm mindful that my circumstances could be way different than what it is.
In all things give thanks.
It’s Really Not Supposed To Be This Way
It was Tuesday, November 13 and I had received an email from Proverbs 31 Ministries that celebrated Lysa Terkeurst's latest book It's Not Supposed To Be This Way. I looked at the cover and thought about my current situation and thought, "It's really not supposed to be this way."
On Saturday, November 17, my nephew brought the mail in and gave me an Amazon box. I looked at the box curiously because I had not ordered anything. I opened the box and saw the book. Of course I knew it was the book from the email earlier that week. I knew I had not ordered it though. I called Amazon. I logged on to my Amazon account. I sifted through the pages of the book and found not one clue about the identity of the sender.
I sat with the resolve that I needed the book and it had come to me in my time of need. However, I have a curious mind. I called Amazon back asking if there was any way that I could find out who sent it. I even downloaded the Amazon App and tried to scan the bar code. Just pray for me. Inquiring minds wanted to know and I wanted to thank my angel. Receiving this book was huge for me.
Later that night in my alone time I read a scripture. Proverbs 11:25 NIV.
A generous person will prosper, whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
After reading that scripture, I immediately knew the sender. Quiera.
I am so blessed to have wonder friends who are in tune to those things that God desires for me. Thank you Quiera for always being an awesome friend to me. You always provide the hard prompts for me to answer and the encouragement to go forward and process through adversity.
While I think that what I'm going through is not supposed to be this way we both know that God's plans are perfect. God works all things for good.
Namaste
