Mercy Said No!

Daily Scripture Reading

Proverbs 10:6-11:(KJV): "Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked."

My personal prayer:
Dear Lord,
I love you today and I'm grateful for your goodness and mercies that you've bestowed upon my life. I pray that you help me guard my tongue from saying things that are ungodly and that hurt others. I ask for your forgiveness for the evilness that comes from my mouth and the evil thoughts that pop up in my mind. I want to speak life into others heart and not death. I want to lift people up and not tear people down with hatred and bad words. Help me to have wisdom in each situation that you bring my way. I pray that we, your people, can love one another as you have loved us. I pray that we show kindness, love and mercy to all those around us and lay aside malice, envy, hate and pride that pledges our hearts at times. I pray for the peace in the midst of war. In Jesus name. Amen.

After Surgery

 

Smiling Before Surgery

 

 

Jadon's eye Surgery

Jadon had his eye surgery yesterday. The doctor tightened his muscles in both eyes to correct his eye problems. It was hard for me to see him after the surgery. I could hear him screaming from the waiting room. It broke my heart. He was obviously in pain and scared. When I saw him, both his eyes were swollen almost completely shut. He cried tears of blood from his eyes and this was the first time I've really been shaken hard as a mother. I didn't expect him to look beat up in both eyes and to see blood coming out his eyes. I felt a pain in my chest that I've never felt before. I felt that the only relief I could get was to cry and pray. I held my child tight and just cried right along with him in the recovery room. I prayed for peace and comfort for me and my son. It made me feel so much better. Today, he doing much better. The swelling is gone from his eyes but his eyes are bloodshot red. He's running around, playing and back to his normal self. I ask that everyone continue to keep us in your prayers for his complete eye healing and our strenght.

Tornado Drill

This morning, I stopped by the hospital to finish up the paperwork for our base relocation package. As I was leaving the hospital, the base tornado sirens went off and I was instructed to make my way to the hospital storm safe area. I started thinking that I had just came from outside about ten minutes prior and there's not a cloud in the sky. Next, I hear on the intercom that it's a manadatory tornado drill for the base. Great, of all places to be why did I end up at the hospital for this drill? Then, my mind began to process this whole situation and I began to feel very uneasy. Hospitals are for sick people. Tornado safe areas are small. That's means that I'll be trapped in a small area with nothing but sick people. I believe I got caught this morning in the wrong place at the wrong time. lol. I ended up being in the safe area for almost 45 minutes, having my face down my shirt, sitting on the floor with about 300 people packed in an area like sardines. It was hot, muggy, and patients were coughing. I was freaking out. I finally couldn't take it anymore. I made my way to the doors, opened them myself and told the staff that I'd rather take my risk on being sucked up in a tornado than to deal with the all these sick people. So, they had mercy on me and allowed me to stand right outside the door until the inspectors came to clear the hospital for their emergency exercise. I immediately drove home and downed some airborne and vitamins.
