Perfect Storm

As I reflect on the dayI can accurately say I have been filled with emotions. I wouldn't say scared was one of those although my anxiety may have stemmed from fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of the unexpected and fear of what's to come, but it is my responsibility to lean on God, not on my own understandings. I felt happy, excited, nervous, Blessed and thankful! My heart is happy, yet I feel so sad that I have to go back to work and leave my family. It's hard to leave when you feel so connected.
  When dad went back we were headed to have breakfast and suddenly over the intercom there was a moment of prayer! Prayer for just those things I had been feeling. Lord, please guide these doctors. Lord, please protect my father. Lord, please give us strength to trust in you! Those were my prayers. I felt ok and seeing some familiar faces throughout the day was a Blessing! My dads siblings were present and my brother was there along with his family and my husband. We were also visited by two  Godly men, Pastor Tim and Pastor Brian. Two men who care deeply for our family and for that, I am grateful. And my mother, which of whom gives me peace.
   While waiting in the lobby I was reminded of the finale of  Grey's Anatomy this season. While I missed most of the season I was able to watch the finale this week. The episode is focused on the fact that the power has gone out and the doctors have to work on what they know. Today, while my father was in the hands of doctors, the electricity went out. My mom and I looked at each other and at that moment our souls collides..... It was as if we had felt the same exact feeling and in the same exact way. You want to panic, but you know it will do no good. In some way, that episode gave me knowledge to recognize the abilities those doctors have, abilities I've never imagined! We often don't say how big of heroes our doctors are, oh, but they ARE!
   While the world is full of those unfriendly feelings I had today, the world is full of those wonderful feelings as well. Live each day to the fullest they say, never take for granted what you have, cast all of your cares on Jesus, isn't that what we were taught in Sunday school? I believe those things however, so easily we forget. Today, I am Blessed and hopeful fort father's future and the future our family has together! I pray that we Bless God for Blessing us! Thank you to the unsung heroes that save lives everyday. Today you saved one of the most important! :) for that, I am grateful!
  Thank you to those that shared in our experiences today and who have walked beside us either physically, mentally or spiritually! We pray that God would protect us and work for a positive recovery and potential healing, in Jesus name!
