So as I was waking up this beautiful Palm Sunday morning, " Oh magnify the Lord, for He is worthy to be praised. Oh magnify the Lord, for He is worthy to be praised! Hosanna, blessed be the rock. Blessed be the rock of my salvation" was ringing in my spirit. Not JUST because today is the start of Holy week but also because I am thankful to be alive today! On this day 11 years ago I was in the emergency room hooked up to and EKG machine, experiencing tremendous pressure on my chest, given a Nitroglycerin tablet being told I was having a heart attack. It came out of nowhere. The only indications I had was SEVERE fatigue earlier in the week. Then shortness is breath and chest pressure while walking in the park and at the grocery store. That's it. They were unable to give me a definitive answer to why this happened to an otherwise healthy 36 year old woman with no history of heart issues. i can only say the cause must have been stress. When I look back now though, I can't put my finger on what the stress was. Anyway, The artery behind my heart was 75% blocked so the inserted a coated stent using the vein in my groin area! OUCH!!!!! That was worse than pushing out both my children.! Ijs.....
What I know to be true is that God kept me for a reason. Without a doubt. With 100% certainty. I know I am here to this day because He and He alone still had and has use of me. My story did not end at chapter 36 1/2. Ya girl is still here and I'm thankful and glad about it. When I try and give encouragement and inspiration it comes from a genuine place. I am attempting to help someone to get through to the next day with a smile on their face. The word can be and is a very cruel and unforgiving place. I try and show you that you don't have to fall for the tricks and schemes of enemy. He tries to suck you into pity parties and complain-a-thons which yield no results.
So, as you go about your day today know that you are thought of and you have been prayed for already. I also want the ladies to listen to your bodies. If you think there is something wrong, go get it checked out. You gotta take care of you so you are able to take care of those around you. Never forget about YOU! You are still here, He still has use of you. Don't forget that!
Know that I love ya. Mean it. 
Thank you
