Psalm 73:26 "My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever"
After waiting for family and friends to visit mom first. Finally, it was my turn! Gabe, Desiree, Jayne, Krystal were also in the room seeing mom. After laying hands and prayed in my mind holding moms hand, I started to talk to her with words of affirmation and with faith that she will walk out of that hospital. Words are very powerful, life and death are on the tongue(Proverbs 18:21) so if you visit mom, speak words that bring "LIFE" people. Desiree later walked up holding mom's other hand, and with peace in my heart, I started to lighten up the mood and make some jokes and tell mom what has been happening.
Like, "Hey mom, I gotta give it to ya, hands down, like literally for having the patience and love for taking care of sammi! Because, me and Liana for less than a month have been taking care of Sammi (well mostly Liana of course) and she was driving us CRAZY! So I gotta hand it to you mom for being able to handle Sammi while being patient."
And, "Hey mom! Ronnie, Liana, and I were talking about how we got our names and what they mean earlier today at lunch. And we started to talk about Samantha, and that her name means "to listen", and Ronnie says "TO LISTEN? YEAH! TO LISTEN TO HER!"
Those were just a few, but, with all of the laughter, I noticed (1) her blood pressure was getting higher (to normal because it was low) (2) Her Heart Rate was at 91 and before it was 100 (3) the wrinkles on her forehead (from the pain, because when we walked in the room the started to wake up and respond and was trying to take off the Air Support tubes) were no longer there and she looked more relaxed, and (4) every time we laughed, I noticed a change in her face as if she was laughing and smiling along with us even though she is sedated and having that big air tube in her mouth, Blessing!!!
Call it crazy or call it faith, but, I still have hope that mom is going to walk out of that hospital alive, from what it looks like through our own eyes it looks like things are bad, but, that is why we have faith, because faith is believing without seeing. I believe God is already working inside and is VICTORIOUS!!! In JESUS NAME!
I know we all expect a miracle, but, everyone including myself, must REPENT of our sins. Now is the time to serve our God, Now is the time to repent and ask for forgiveness and come back to the Lord, not half way in , but, All in. God is calling for the Navy Seal believers, that is to lay down your life for Jesus. Remember, He did it for us! Family and Friends, Repent of your sins and Serve our Lord Jesus Christ, leave the selfish life, leave the sinful life and get right with God because God listens to the righteous! God wants all of you!
One more thing, before I left I told mom "this morning when I opened my bible I read Isaiah 46: 3-4 "...I have cared for you since you were born. Yes, I carried you before you were born. I will be your God throughout your lifetime - until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you."
