Okay, so it all started about five-five and a half years ago. I met jessy in about the fourth grade and we hung out, our houses are right down the road from eachother so we walked to eacothers house. In fifth grade, we still talked and hung out but we weren't too good of friends. She introduced me to her dc talk cd's but i didn't really start to listen to them all that much. umm... the summer before sixth grade, I was diognosed with valvular heart disease, blood from one chamber of my heart was leaking backwards because i had a messed up valve,i had water around my lungs and had to take meds for that. My left half of my heart was swollen so i had to take HUGE amounts of aspirin for that, then they prescribed penicilin which i still take, ihad to take it because they think that reumatic fever caused it and it m helps me not get it again. I had to take chewable aspirin because i couldn't swallow meds, umm.. i had another med for something but all i remember about that is that they let me pick from a whole lot of flavors and i got raspberry marshmallow and it was good. The doctor that i visited about once a week didn't even want me to go up and down the stairs to my bedroom,so i was on a matress on the floor of my livingroom. I couldn't go to a baseball game with the rest of my family, so my dad stayed home with me and we invited jessy over and she kept me company. The next morning i was so tired (all the aspirin made me tired) and i felt so guilty because i didn't want to do anything with jessy. I beat myself up for it for a long time before i realized that it wasn't my fault. I couldn't keep my meds down because the aspirin tore up my stomach, and i had to take it about four times a day and it stunk and the flavors were soooo nasty. I couldn't keep food down because it tore up my stomach.My stomach hurt all of the time because i was hungry and tried only to get u when i had to go to the bathroom or take more meds. I don't remember muchof the next two months because i was sleeping so much. I finally got put into the hospital because i threw my meds from the morning in the doctors office. My dad took me over there and i only stayed there for about a day and a half, they put me on steroids to boost my appetite since i was like half of half of half of my size because i couldn't eat. Actually, the night before, at the hospital, they had a hard time putting an IV into me because my vains kept collapsing because i was so dehydrated. So i want home the next day, really tired, i had fallen asleep when everyone came to visit me and on the way home. I wasn't supposed to do anything, not run, walk fast, bike, they thought i wouldn't do it for a long time. Let's see, after a few weeks, i went to a church service with jessy at her church. There, they were laying hands on everyone and roberta encouraged me to go up there so i did and i had hands layed on me while they prayed for me. Ya know that whole nice warmness that goes through you whenyour really close to God in prayer or something like that? well i felt it and the next week, i went to the doc's and got an echocardiogram and the only thing they found a was a murmur. About a year later, i could do anything and run, what ever, i ran all over, it was great. God saved my life by introducing me to many awsome people. Ever since then, i have grown in the spirituality. I don't think i have ever or will ever thank Jessy, Roberta, Rick, My mom or my dad,my brother, or sister, enough for helping me through it. That was enough to make me realize that i needed God in my life.

The single greatest cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. |
