The flesh is weak, but the Spirit is strong!
Noami slowly stands up and she is feeling dizzy, short of breath, her heart is racing and then she becomes overheated. She tries to take a step but falls to the floor. Issac and Ailsa are watching football when he hears a crash. He quickly puts Ailsa in her playpen and rushes to see if Noami needs help. His heart almost falls out of his chest when he sees his wife on the floor. He quickly grabs Noami. She is out cold. He calls 911 then calls Noami’s mother, Faith. Issac begins to pray, his soul cries out to God. God please help me, please do not take my life from me. Lord, I need you now! God, I need you now!” She is rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. Issacs speeds to the hospital once Faith arrives. Faith holds Ailsa tight and prays over the baby and through the house. She is determined to stay positive and trust the Lord. Faith talks to God out loud. God, I have been your servant for many decades now. I have seen what you can do and I believe that you will heal Noami. You have been so good to me through these years and your praise will continue to be in my mouth. God I find hope in your word, knowing that you are able, but I pray that God it's your will to heal my child! God, I am praying for Noami to have the heart of a warrior, so that she does not surrender her life. Faith keeps busy, by cooking and cleaning and praying. She turns on some music to calm her mind. The first song was “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” by Al green. She stood in shock and amazement then she burst into tears, knowing that the song was sent from her heavenly father, she knew that everything was gonna be alright.
I praise you God, ooh, I praise you said Faith! God, You are always my comforter, you are always my peace, and I will always be your faithful servant!
Noami wakes up with tubes in her arm and a sore shoulder from falling. Her mouth is so dry that she can barely speak. Issac she whispered, still feeling dizzy. I am here, I am here. What happened? She asks. He looked surprised and said, I was hoping you could tell me. The doctor walked in. You are severely anemic; your iron and vitamin b levels are extremely low, your oxygen level is low as well, but you did not cause damage to your heart, but you can if things don't improve. Anemia is when a person’s body is not producing red blood cells in their blood and the body can't get enough oxygen to your heart and body. Some of the symptoms you might have experienced said the doctor are fatigue, irregular heart beat, shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pain, and forgetfulness, and a rash. Deuteronomy 12:23 "for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh." We have to give you a transfusion. Ooh, says Noami with guilt in her voice. Ooh, says Issac with a disappointment in his voice. The doctor reports that he will be back and get the transfusion started soon. Noami looked at Isaac with a half-smile, the fibroid has caused heavy bleeding which caused me to be anemic. The fertility doctor told me to monitor my monthly closely, and start to take iron pills and vitamins B pills, and most importantly change my eating habits. I was planning to and I just. Isaac was not pleased and said that was months ago. Noami! I need you. I love you and you have to take care of yourself. You do not have a right not to tell me everything about your health. I know, said Noami, I know, and I am sorry. Issac said, Baby, I am not trying to give you a hard time, but you scared me. He grabbed her hand, you really scared me. I am sorry, I scared myself, said Noami. Noami called her mother and confirmed that she was alright! Faith’s heart smiled.
Truly..Life experience of this writer, but two of my siblings were by my side, when I failed to the ground.
Thank you Stephen and Annie for being with me and Dad for rushing to be by my side!
