More than Clogged Artery Disease

My April 24 blog ended with me being surprised that I had to have two stents placed in my coronary arteries. One artery was 95 percent clogged and the other 55 percent. If Gideons International had not asked me to go to Uganda on a mission trip and if my physician had not requested that I take a stress test, I probably would have had a heart attack.

My cardiologist told me that recovery time from angioplasty and stenting was about one week. After a week, I continued to have shortness of breath, pressure in my chest, tiredness and lack of energy. My cardiologist ensured me, that there were no more heart problems. Was this just my imagination? I had to do a lot of praying, because soon I had to make a decision about going on the mission trip to Uganda.

In prayer God gave me an answer. Joshua 1:9: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord you God will be with you wherever you go. NIV. I accepted that scripture as my own.

Overcomer by HOPE. The confident expectation of Good.
