Every now and then I share a little of myself with you. What I am going through, what my children are up to, things in my life that God has shown me and the lessons that come from them all. On this occasion, I need to share with you something that scared me...

Recently I have found myself tired all the time, sick more than I usually am, having heartburn no matter what I eat, not feeling well, more weight gain than I have ever had and a few other medical type problems. For someone who is really never sick (other than the seasonal cold or rare upset stomach) I began to worry and decided it was time to go to the doctor. Of course, they decided to run a series (well a bunch) of different tests. Being about half way through the tests I began to think maybe I am just getting old. Then that call came...

We have some of your tests results back and the doctor would like you to come in and discuss them. Knowing this does not sound good I make the appointment for the following day. I am thinking to myself...this can't be happening. I tell a couple close friends who immeadiately began to assure me everything will be ok and tell me they will be praying for me.

Let me backtrack and tell you my family has a long history of cancer and heart disease. Most of it starts right about the age I am now (shhhhh). So understand my concern for my health issue upon recieving that call.

I began to immeadiately think "What if it is something serious? Who will take care of the children if I get sick? What if something happens to me?" All the questions we find ourselves asking when we get that call. Friend of little squirrel (my friend CB) made it clear to little squirrel (me). Generational curses have been taken away from me because I am protected by the Blood of Jesus. And I was informed that God told another friend of little squirrel, EB (I was originally dubbed little squirrel by EB & CB) that what I did have was shrinking away.

Needless to say, the Blood of Jesus did indeed have me covered and my diagnosis although somewhat serious was treatable and would indeed go away with treatment. There are a couple of test still to be done to rule out any further serious troubles (because I have some other things still going on they want to be sure of) but hiatal hernia, acid reflux, and an ulcer are far from the worst I had imagined. In realizing this I have come to have more faith in the good Lord above and not give into my flesh to worry about things that He took away when I became a new creature in Him.

I know God has a plan still to be fulfilled in my life. I know He has not brought me this far, protected me for this long for me to have my life end without ever knowing what that plan was or how I was to fulfill it. Becasue of this I am protected. God protects all His children. The Blood of His Son Jesus was shed for that reason. The next time you find yourself getting that call...remember...your protected by His Blood and nothing can penetrate it...not even generational curses.

God Bless!
