You never know where life will lead

So this past week was full of challenges here. I did get to a lot of meetins during the first few days of the week from like Saturday (the 18th) thru Tues (the 21) well 4 and for me that's a lot. Then Tuesday night real late I started to throw up (almost thought I was going to have my mom take me to the er). I was sick Weds but still went to ROCK group cause I knew they needed an extra person. Weds night I stayed at my parents incase my mom needed to take me to the er. Thurs I layed on their couch all day and when my mom got home she said don't you think we should go to the er. I tried to fight about this and then decided I was too sick to fight any more. We went to the er and I'm grateful we did. My small bowel was slowing (and if i had waited just a few more days I could have been in the same spot 2 yrs ago where i needed surgery) and some of my blood work was way off. They admitted me Thurs night and I was in until Sat with fluids coming in through an iv. By Friday night I was feeling somewhat better but not enough to go home. Friday the dr's came in and said one of my blood tests was off and it was indicating that there was some sort of bleeding going on and if it dropped to an 8 (at this point was 8.3 or so) that I would need a blood transfusion and possilbe surgery to see where the bleeding was coming from. This didn't sound plessant in my book. I remember feeling so scared but then I remembered to pray. I prayed just to feel calm with what ever had to happen and that I would let him take this over and I would be obedient. As soon as I said that prayer I felt calm and knew everything would be ok. The next morning when they took the next blood test (they were in every 6 hrs to take blood) they found that the level went up and were happy and I got to go home. I am so grateful to have a loving Heavenly Father who will not leave me for anything. He is just waiting me for to follow him and to live by his commandments. I am so grateful for the people he has put in my lives and continues to put in my life all the time. I am so grateful for the blessing of families.
