wow. it's been so long since i updated here. between mops starting up, finishing up house repairs from the hurricane, and just day to day life, i've had little time to just sit down by myself and blog.
dh is having a cardiac cath this friday. it's his second cath in 18 mos. he has a strong family hx of heart disease. his dad died at 51 of a massive MI; his granddad died at 49. dh just turned 49 on sunday.
i'm scared. i'm a nurse and know too much. i just want him to be around to see ouir boys grow into godly young men. i want to grow old with him. i want him to guide me, support me, and love me.
we have no additional life insurance. my days as a hs'ing sahm would come to an end and i fear i'd be abandoning my boys who would need me more than ever before.
i'm being morbid. i know the cardiologists will be able to repair whatever damage is there in the cath lab. i know this. after all, God is in control.
if you are reading this, pray for us. pray for my dh. just for a miraculous healing. pray for me. i need peace and assurance. pray fo rmy boys. they are worried. they are young, but today my 4 yr old asked me if daddy's heart was hurting. he told me he is praying the doctor can make it better.
Oh Precious Jesus, reach down from Heaven and lay your healing hands on my precious husband. Heal him, cleanse his arteries, strengthen his heart. Use this to draw us all closer to you. Comfort my sons with your peace. Wrap your arms around me and help me to feel your presence in a very real way.
In the precious name of Jesus, my Savior and Lord,
Amen.

Agreeing in prayer with you. Remember John 10:10 - the DEVIL comes to steal and destroy but [JESUS] comes to bring ABUNDANT LIFE! He is the God of miracles! And the God of peace that passes all understanding! You can lean on and trust in Him.

I will certainly be praying! I know it must be hard to be a nurse and "know too much". I can't imagine! I pray that all goes well and God graciously extends the life of your dh! Just know that others will be praying.
Blessings,
Becky
