Good Morning Facebook Family... I am a very private person, and am not one to discuss my personal life all over Facebook, but I feel compelled to share an incident that happened recently in my life. When in my teens, I had episode of fainting. I was given various diagnosis from asthma to over exertion. Not occuring anymore after the age of 23, I thought no more of it, and had no issues since then, until this past February. I was at home one evening and just simply began to feel sick , nauseated, chest pounded, and passed out. It was very sudden, and very adbruptly, a few minutes, and I was back to my old self just weaker. Being stubborn and very weak, I did not go to hospital until next day when I realized I didnt regain my strength. I went to hospital and my Dr, and was referred to Cardiologist and told something was wrong with my heart. I was in shock because I was conscious of my health, and couldnt see how this could be. I prolonged my test to monitor my condition, but decided two weeks ago to go in due to lack of energy. They ran numerous test on me and the test resulted in me receiving a diagnosis of a blockage in my heart. How could this be? I eat right, great cholesteral, I dont understand. The Dr told me he believed it was connected to earlier incidents, which was almost 15 yrs ago, which wasnt proven, and wanted to operate immediatly and do a heart catherization to remove the blockage that appeared on test previously. I was told about risk, including death with procedure, but benefits out weighed risk, even though I dont know what outweighs Death, anywho, I scheduled surgery within 48 hours and proceeded. I sat and reflected on what I was told and said wow a blockage in my heart, im young, and that could have been there since a child... made me a bit anxious. I sat and look at all kinds of things I had been thru that have coulda led to it, and nothing made sense. I reflected on my life, the fiand realized what I had accomplished as well as hadnt, and more work to do. But what if GOD decides to take me now? I know I am a child of God, so I prayed to God to give me the peace to face whatever was before me, and HE gave me a calming in my spirit. If I had died, you know what I was at peace. Yes I had other concerns, but was at peace. I had heart catherization last week, and when they went in, they said we dont see blockage anymore that appeared on echocardio gram just prior to procedure therefore !!! .I shared this to encourage someone today... The Doctor , and Sugeon, was baffled after surgery and said wow, we guess it was a false positve, and I said no it was GOD ! I guess it wasnt my time yet, but I reflected on how short life really is, and how I have to use every second of my life with a sense of urgency, on the path and mission God has me on, and continue to keep moving . Yes I still have issues with my heart , and with something with heart, but its not from a dangerous blockage! I just wanted to encourage you to live this day, today, as it were your last. Tell everyone you love them, and continue to pray and be at peace with God. Below is a video of many who also changed there perspectives after experiencing life changing decisions, and the Power of Prayer... #lifeisshort
