It is only by the power of Christ that I am setting here today to share what Christ has done for me.

I did not know when I went into the ortho clinic with a red hip incision after my first hip replacement that I was going to find out that I had sepsis. I had been feeling poorly, but I just thought it was due to being down after surgery.

Thank the Lord that he instructed me to go in and see my surgeon when I did. The infection was not only in my incision, but it had reached my blood stream. There was talk of possibly having to loose my leg. I knew sepsis was bad. People die from it daily. I was told if I would have waited just a few more days that I might have not been with us anymore.

Never do I remember being scared through this time period.

I would chalk that up to knowing that I am a saved, born again Christian and knew that death would just mean going on to heaven where my body would be pain free and complete again.

Though I was saved as a young child, I still am learning new things daily about my walk with Christ. I am a part of a Bible study and we are learning about Satan and his entourage. The devil is alluring, charming. He tempts us and points out our sins and mistakes. He can’t thwart my salvation, but he can drive a wedge between Jesus and I if I am not aware of him prowling around with his enticing lies.

I stand here after three hip replacements to my Right leg as a testament that our God still heals. The power of prayer works. If you are one who prayed for me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate you.

If you are at the end of your rope and you don’t know where to turn, I implore you to find a church and find out about salvation how to’s. If you want me to assist you, I would be happy to.

Jesus makes the difference…I promise.

My life has been a struggle, but made tolerable because of Jesus dying on that cross for you and me.

Love to you all.
