Prayer Request

I have a prayer request.

I've been having trouble with my heart for the last three months. The medication that I take every day hasn't been regulating my tachycardia problem well enough, and I have gone to the ER 3 times in the last 3 months. Twice they had to give me an IV of some medicine that stopped my heart and restarted it. Since then I found a cardiologist in Houston, who says I need to get a procedure done called an ablation. They go in through a vein with a wire and camera and sensors and travel to your heart and find out what area of your heart is causing the electrical glitch that causes the tachycardia episode. Then they zap that tissue that causes the problem. The procedure should totally cure the problem that I have been struggling with for 13 years. However, our insurance looks like they will only cover maybe 1500 of the 26000 cost, if any at all.

Please pray that God would provide a way to pay for this procedure, as it isn't really an option to not have it done.

Also pray that I would trust God at this time. I've been having major anxiety attacks on a daily basis since the first trip to the ER. I need to trust God that I am safe in His hands. I know in my mind that I am safe in His hands, but it doesn't register as often as it should.

Also, pray for Josh. He's been so supportive and amazing through all of this. I'm sure all of this is as hard on him as it is me.

So this is why I haven't been updating this blog. Sorry for the silence :)

    Praying for God's healing upon you, that you won't even need to have the procedure done.

    What!? Obama is not going to pay for it?

    But seriously I am praying for you.

    Have you considered changing insurance companies? If you have been covered for 18 months by a legitimate heath plan then the government forces these insurance companies to take pre-existing conditions. So if your insurance doesn’t provide enough coverage then get a private plan that does, it would be better to pay a couple hundred bucks a month for a year or two then to out of pocket 24,500. Check ehealthinsurance.com they appeared to have a lot of good information.

As I sit at my kitchen table with the window open and the grey Kelowna February sky lighting up the room, the smoky smell of Texas Red Beans and Rice is flooding the room as it simmers on the stove top. My two tiny girls are running around playing with my big chunky necklaces, and Josh is playing the guitar making up songs about what they are doing. I am so blessed. I haven't written in a long time. I believe I was still pregnant with Maggie the last time I wrote, and she is almost 2 years old now, and Ellie is 3 years old, super talkative and getting so grown up. My life is a much different place now. Super busy, but so full to the brim of happiness and all things that are good. 2013 saw our photography business BOOM. After 3 years of business being a bit slow, things got very busy very fast. We saw a 700% increase in our business, and this year is shaping up to be even busier.

Vexed in Spirit and Great Anxiety

She was deeply distressed and prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly.... ‘O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant...’ Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman. And Eli said to her, ‘How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you.’ But Hannah answered, ‘No my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the LORD. Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.’ Then Eli answered, ‘Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition that you have made to him.’ And she said, ‘Let your servant find favour in your eyes.’ Then the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.   Excerpts from 1 Samuel 1 This is the word of the L...

The Words are Beautiful

I was reading back over an old blog and read this post from February 2008. Its funny how God comforts us through our own words sometimes. No wonder the old testament is filled with the advice to look back to the days of old, and see what God did for you then. Only then, are we able to see what He might be doing in us and through us now. I hope you enjoy this post as much as I did: YWH is my Shepherd I shall not want He makes me lie down in green pastures He leads me beside waters of rest He restores my soul He guides me in paths of righteousness For His names sake Even though I walk through the valley of deep deep darkness I fear no evil For You are with me I am comforted by your rod and staff --I was studying the literal Hebrew translations in this famous passage last night, and found that I like the alternative translations that I found.... waters of rest, and deep deep darkness. A passage that is so widely known that it almost has lost its meaning for those that have heard it over a...
