These past two weeks have been nothing but trusting in what God has for me. Last week we decided to take a short trip to Tennesse to visit family for a few days. We got there on Friday early morning and we were happy of the weekend to come. Friday night was awesome and spent great family time. Saturday started great and midday I had a horrible pain in my lower belly, was sweaty and almost past out from the pain. Not knowing what was going on I decided there is nothing a nap cannot fix. Slept for about two hours and then woke up with a slight pain but tolerable and thought nothing of it. Saturday night I could not sleep and on Sunday morning I was miserable. I told my husband, Tony, that we should go home one day early just in case got sick and then it happened. Pain so intensed I almost passed out. We debated to go to the ER and after some unanimous decision by my husband and sister-in-law we headed that way. We went to Sumner Regional Hopsital in Gallatin, TN. I got taken care right away and admitted after being checked by the doctor. He suggested I take some IV antibiotics instead of oral ones since my infection (Diverticulitis) seemed to be pretty severed and the more antibiotic we could get in my body the better. We figured we would be going home by the next day. Oh Boy!, were we wrong!
To my naiveness, I had just been diagnosed with Diverticulitis and it will be a few days before that infection will go away. I was thinking to myself, I will get all my people to pray for me and I will be healed. I will be home in no time. A week later I am still in a hospital in Tennesse. Talke about having doubt or bad thought but , Right now, I still believe that I am healed. What I know is that I trust God to provide the proper people and the proper treatment for me to follow and understand to become a testimony on how God healed my body to be an example on believing and watching work on me. A few years back, I would have doubted, I would be full of fear and doubt. Today, I can honestly say that I trust God to do what He needs to do. I have prayed for a better way to become healthy and change my lifestyle. Well , here is my lifestyle change and my start to a better health.
Remember that God is trustworthy and although you might doubt when you ask Him, He will respond. Trust in God and even when you don't think He is there, let him know how you feel and that you just need him to know how you feel right then and he will answer. He will embrace you with His love, his grace and his mercifulness. He will put the people you need to hear from and will guide you on what to do next. I am currently still recuperating and trusting God! The best thing is that God has given me a sense of peace that I cannot even explained. Thank
God I can rely on Him!

Maria, I love that God has given you a sense of peace. I feel that too -- regarding Sarah's situation. God has blessed me with all you wonderful people at VWS who prayed for Sarah with such confidence and trust in Him that it gave me confidence and trust in Him too! He does put the people you need in place when you need them! Amen sister! I love you!
