A funny thing happened on the way to being blessed

I am still in Pennsylvania. I was supposed to leave today to drive back to Florida. But a funny thing happened on the way to this weeks blessings.

1. We got here with only the requisite 6 or 7 traffic jams along I-95.

2. We spent the first 2 nights at my brother's house and had a hard time getting the wood stove to burn the wood. Think little house on the prairie meets the 21st century.

3. It has been Pennsylvania cold for most of the week and we are used to Florida cold, which is more like Pennsylvania summer.

4. We have visited all the family and the cutest nieces and nephews on the planet.

5. I never did make it to the church I wanted to make it to, again. I had planned to go Thursday night.

6. Tuesday night we had KFC at my sister's house. As soon as I ate it, I had terrible indigestion and pain, but it went away after an hour and I was fine the rest of the night. Wednesday morning I had chocolate chip cookies and the pain came back and wouldn't go away. I ended up in the ER and being admitted to the hospital with acute cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, which translates to a gallbladder attack and gallstones. I had surgery Thursday night to remove my gallbladder. But God is good and I know He has a plan for my life and all things work together for good to those who love Him. :) Way to spend spring break! Hahahahaha!

7. I get to spend and extra 3 days with my family now.

8. I have a decreased appetite so maybe I'll lose a couple of pounds.

9. I can't go back to work for at least one week, maybe more.

10. God is faithful and I know He will keep me under His wing during this trial and He will care for me.

Dear God,

Thank You for all that has happened this week. I don't know why this happened or what purpose it will serve in the long run, but I know You were with me the whole time and brought me Your peace because I had absolutely no fear and I know without You I would have been very fearful. Thank You for allowing me the opportunity to meet Russel, the hospital chaplain who anointed me and prayed for me on Thursday. He spoke such comforting words to me that I know came from You and so I know You spoke to me through him. I love You and worship You and praise You and adore You. Please keep me and don't ever let me leave You again! Thank You Jesus! I love You!
