Pray! Pray! Pray!

So I have been worried about what my hospital bill was gonna be. I got it in the mail today I opened it while I was walking my dog back to the house and I almost fell to my knees. Next to the amount that I owe says $0.00! I started crying and thanking God. My mom thinks it's just cause it hasn't really gone through the insurance yet but I am gonna believe that it was God. I still get teary thinking about it. I am just amazed! 

 God Thank you so much for helping me. You have taken away what was wrong with me and now you have helped me with the hospital bill. You are the all mighty God! You are in control Lord. I love you and thank you again for everything you do for me.
  In Jesus Name,
      Amen!

So I have to tell you guys! Just pray pray pray!!!!!

  God bless!

Power of prayer!

I just want to talk about the power of prayer! If you guys don't know I have had some health issues. My heart was beating to fast, having trouble breathing, and chest pains. Well the doctor thought I had a pulmonary embolism. I did a CT scan and it came back normal. I had all the symptoms of pulmonary embolism except for one. So I though for sure that was going to be what was wrong with me. When the doctor called me to give me the results everything came back normal! I think because there were so many people praying for me that I think God made it go away! I am feeling a bunch time better! I have been taking a pill everyday to lower my heart rate. So for now we are gonna try diet and exercise to see if that will lower my heart rate. I have to take the pill for a year but if it comes down I won't have to take it anymore! So lets pray that that happens. I know prayer changes things. If you have any prayer requests you can ask me to pray and I will!

I am second

I have recently started a 22 day challenge with a group called I am second! If you don't know what it is about go to their website, www.iamsecond.com It's celebrities talking about how they came to know God. I was gonna buy the book but our pocket book can't afford a $20 book right now. Watching todays video made me think I need to write down my testimony. I know a few people have heard it but that was the recent part of it. I am going to start at the beginning. Which means it might take me awhile to type that up. I want to challenge you to tell someone or everyone your testimony. You never know it might help someone out. On todays video it was Brian Welch from Korn. His realestate agent felt he needed to tell him a bible verse and it changed his life forever. So when you feel like God is trying to tell you to do something you might want to just do it. I know it's hard. But you will feel better in the end and you brought someone closer to Him. I would also like to know if I start a small group on facebook who all would join? message me if you would like me to start one!

     God Bless!

Bible studies

I am going to start a 22 day challenge with the group I am second but have yet to get my email. I would also like some ideas of some good bible studies. I also would like some suggestions on some good christian books. I'm still reading through the bible all the way. I have never done that before and being a christian I would think that would be a good idea. So I will get to reading. I might write some more later!

Church

It felt good to go to church today. Last night I wasn't feeling well and didn't know if I was gonna make it to church. I woke up this morning and felt better but not great. If you guys don't know I am having health issues. I have chest pains and shortness of breath. My test has come back normal. So we still don't know what is wrong. I go back to the doc on Wednesday. So please pray that everything is ok. I am already on a diet and I've lost 10lbs so far. So I will be posting more cause I am at home for now. 

God Bless!

Update

So I know it's been awhile since the last time I've posted. I got a job and didn't really have time to do a lot of stuff. Recently I've had to quit my job for health reasons. I didn't want to but decided I better find a job that is less physical for now. But anyway now that I'm out of work again I've been thinking about a lot of things in my life. How when I work I don't find time to have time with God. I never realize this till it's too late. So I'm gonna start making time. I hate that I didn't find time for Him. He has done so much for me yet I can't find time for Him. I am ashamed of my behavior. I am reading a book called not a fan by Kyle Idleman. It has made me think deeply about if I'm a follower or a fan. It scares me that I am not sure what I am. I go back and forth between being a fan and a follower. I have to find how to make myself a full blooded follower instead of here and there. I never stop believing in God but I just don't find the time for Him. Like I get on these kicks that all I want to do is study His word then it's like I get burned out because I jumped in with both feet. I need to get off the line and jump in again and stay there this time. I want to start keeping this blog up with how I am doing with this journey. I want you guys to hold me accountable. But for now I'm going to bed. I'll write more tomorrow!

        God Bless!
