God’s Grace! Sept 28, 2025

Late Saturday evening and early Sunday morning, September 28th, 2025, I started feeling this strange discomfort across my chest and back. I couldn’t get comfortable at all…just restless and uneasy. I got up from bed and tried sitting in my recliner, but the feeling only grew stronger. Not knowing what was going on, I asked a friend to take me to the Encore Heart Hospital, just a few minutes away.

When I arrived, they had me take an aspirin right away and did an EKG, which showed I was in the middle of an actual heart attack. They immediately called an ambulance to take me to the main Heart hospital, where a whole team was already waiting for me.

What amazed me through all of this was that I never once felt anxious or afraid. Even in the ambulance, with the lights flashing and the sirens going (which I didn’t even realize!) I was chatting with the ambulance drivers about their families. Looking back, I’m not sure if I didn’t realize how serious it was or if God simply had me “tucked away” in His grace…but I felt completely at peace.

As soon as we reached the hospital, they took me straight into the Cath Lab. Within 3 minutes, I was on the table and the team began working on me. The next thing I knew, I woke up in a room…alive, safe, and overwhelmingly grateful.

The Lord was so faithful to me through it all, and I’m deeply thankful for His protection and peace. For some reason, He has kept me alive for another season of this life. And just a reminder to all of us: the most secure relationship anyone can have is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ! His timing is always perfect. He knows exactly what He is doing ALL the time! Even with all the chaos surrounding us everywhere right now, He alone is stable… constant… unchanging…. I would encourage anyone who is reading this to simply fall back and TRUST HIm… no matter your circumstances…He loves you. And He is trustworthy. He ALWAYS keeps His Promises. And if you have never accepted Him as your personal Savior, it is NEVER too late. He went to the Cross, and took all your sins away… it is a FREE Gift. But, as with any gift, you must take it… receive it, before it becomes your’s.

May God bless anyone who reads this blog.
