today i am......
the 21 year old that got hit by a truck on i-10. i am out of icu after about 2 weeks and in my own room! i am still very beat up and broken but i have the up most faith that i'm gonna be ok. i am smiling, burping, laughing, and telling stories, pick'n on my brothers, finally eating (not good, but eating:) i am doing therapy and getting stronger. it's pretty amazing how i can use other parts of my body to do things they are not intended to do to help myself. i am so determined to get out of the hospital and back to my life with my family.i'm gonna be here for awhile but i know god is taking good care of me. i really shouldn't be here, the 10 fhp officers thought for sure i was a goner, but god proved them wrong and i am so thankful! thanks to the best parents too, oh and brothers:)
fyi, a good snack is a kiwi slush from the hospital cafeteria?:) hehe!

a 69 year old husband, father and grandfather who has survived cancer and a blood clot but today I was reminded how precious moment by moment really is. driving into town on i-10 i saw a wreck happen, it was bad! a family of 5, the kids were 15,16 and 21. the father lost control of their truck which was pulling a trailer and it seemed like they were living in it. well they were all standing around when all of a sudden a truck hit the 21 year old girl. i parked my truck and ran to help. she was not doing good;( she has broken so many major bones it looks very bad and the family may lose her. life flight took her to the hospital and i helped the family get their trucked towed and trailer set up at the hospital. you could tell they didn't have much so i gave them all i had in cash and wished them the best. so i sit and tell my wife, kids and grand kids about this and remind them how we must love every moment and always hold tight of the love we have for each other!!!!! and show that love everyday because in that same moment we could lose it all.
xoxo go hug and kiss your babies now!! (don't forget your husband or wife!)

always with you
today i am....
a twenty seven year old who has over come so much. 5 years ago my father died and it rocked my world. i know the lord has made me to be a doctor but satan has been busy standing in my way but thankfully the faith that my parents instilled in me has persevered and has made me stronger. it's like my dad is saying i am always with you just like the lord says to us.
when you go through deep waters and great trouble, i will be with you. when you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown!
isaiah 43:2

no more tears
so in 4 weeks my dear friend lost her mother, my best friend lost her aunt and grandfather and last night we said good-bye to our sweet cat. they all were old and ready for heaven where there will be no more suffering but us still here on earth, we are in tears.
last night we knew it was time to give our sweet cat one last kiss and we did this as a family. it was such a special time we were able to have together. my oldest made her a card that we buried with the cat and the youngest insisted on a prayer:)
as i tucked the kids in bed tonight, my youngest started crying again for the cat. i then opened our bible story for the night and it was so perfect! the title... no more tears
it reads...
the lord god will wipe away the tears from all faces. Isaiah 25:8
god knows we all feel sad sometimes. but he also promises that one day he'll take all our tears away. someday,when we get to heaven, we won't feel like crying, we won't get angry, and won't hurt. until then, god says he's with us to comfort us and to take the hurt away. tell him when you feel sad. he's always with you, right by your side.
