Can Not Kill Me


So, I have been struggling, a little bit, this last week.

I have been sick. Started with a sore throat and progressively got worse. Then Sunday, I realized, that I had pneumonia. Stayed home from church and made plans to go the the doctor on Monday.

By Monday morning, I was in pretty bad shape. So, my husband stayed home with me and I called the doctor. My doctor was on vacation. The office called me back and told me that another doctor would see me. I was more than a little grateful.

The doctor had x-rays done and sure enough...pneumonia. He gave me some of those super antibiotics. And sent me on my way. Had the prescription filled. I was in such a hurry to get this medicine in me, I took the pill in the car.

I have had pneumonia many times and know that when that first pill takes effect, I will not be in any more pain. So, I was excited to swallow that first pill.

A half an hour later...My head is getting hot. Then hives. Huge hives. I called the pharmacy and was told "GET TO THE HOSPITAL QUICK AND GET A SHOT". Well, ok. So, off we went.

Now, I have a lot of allergies. Life has been weird to me in this area. I can be allergic to something and then not allergic to it another. I coded on iodine years ago. Anyway...I am pretty could at telling how I am doing. So, I sat in the hospital parking lot for a while. Not wanting to waste theirs nor my time. But, my husband was more incident. He said he would not be able to rest for fear I would stop breathing. So, I gave in and went inside.

Now, I am a terror in a hospital. I figure they work for me and I have a big say in what they do and do not do. I am allergic to the preservatives in injectable drugs. NO SHOTS. Which I kinda like...because I hate shots.

After a wait, I was taken care of by pills and given new antibiotics for my lungs and treatment for the allergic reaction.

Not my best day. But, God is good. As I look back on it, I love to watch God's hand at work and how He orchestrates our entire day.

NO SATAN YOU CAN NOT KILL ME.

I have an ordained time to die and God knows when that is and your schemes will not hold up. When I am done...then I am done.

I love my God and I love to watch Satan's armor get dented now and then by his inept attempts at destruction.

I've had pneumonia before, too. It's nothing to play around with. And neither is a severe allergic reaction. I am glad you are better now. Thank God!

I got an email about this blog today. I guess you've probably heard of it or seen it, but just in case you haven't, http://davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com/2009/03/urgent-message.html

I think it was very interesting that his vision is so similar to yours that you blogged about recently.

We should listen, and take heed! Thank you for your obedience.
