Today, October 23rd, is a very special day for me! Five years ago I overdosed on prescription medication, and should have died. God chose to extend my life in a miraculous way. As I slipped away into unconsciousness I heard a heavenly voice say, "Call 911". I recall starting to argue with the voice that I was feeling just fine. But before I could get my thoughts out I heard the sentence repeated, and one word was added, "Call 911 NOW." I have no memory of anything else from that moment until I awoke in the intensive care unit at our city hospital the next day. I don't know how I made the call in my semi-conscious state. According to the hospital emergency room records I was not even coherent when the call was made. But I do know that if I had not made that early morning 911 call for myself I would not have been alive when my husband got home from work that night. I do not take any single day since then for granted. "I'm living on borrowed time." Each day is a gift because of the gift of salvation which Jesus Christ died for. Have you received YOUR gift?

As a 66 year old Christian woman I've seen many rainy days along with sunny ones. Through many difficult life situations I've been sustained by a power greater then myself. "I know that the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work He will give us to do." From The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom (survivor of a Nazi concentration camp)
Life brings sunshine and rain. Both are needed to produce flowers.
You are amazing and I'm so glad God protected you. Love and miss you, April!
