At the request of my dear friend Brandi I am blogging about something serious...


It is an interesting thing to have a parent go through serious health issues. At the age of 37 my Dad had a heart attack. I remember waking up in the morning to find my grandparents at the house and hearing the info that my Dad was at the hospital. It is a life changing experience to learn that your father could have died.

This past Monday my Dad went in to the hospital for hip replacement surgery. Every time someone goes under the knife it is a risk. It is even more for my Dad because of his heart history. So it is a trust thing for me every time this happens. I experience an emotional battle with the Lord and me being willing to trust that he has the best in mind.

I can say that the surgery went well. There were a few complications but we are hoping that he will come home tomorrow. The Lord has again shown me how much more I need to rely on Him. I am so thankful for the blessing of a wonderful family and a great relationship with my parents.


Thanks for reading what has been on my heart...

Thanks for sharing your heart! oh so much more interesting than your dog! ha ha. Seriously, though, God provides us the most unique ways to grow in our Trust of HIM that we would never choose ourselves. Way to use this time wisely!
