The Battle is the Lords

So, I wake up yesterday morning and get my coffee, sit at the computer to start another day. In about 30 minutes, everything was blurry, I felt very lightheaded and dizzy. When I stood up, I was feeling numbness in my limbs and right side of my face.

Now, if you knew me, you would know that I am a pretty healthy gal. A girl of 53 winters, I have seen my share of health issues, but usually in other people! The first thing that came to mind was that this shall pass. I am thinking as the day wears on it will go away, maybe I slept on my neck wrong, or something like that. As the day went on, I had to take Amie to meet a friend. This same feeling of light and dizzy and almost drunk kept up throughout the day. By 5 last night I decided I had not been able to talk it away, sleep it away and was getting pretty nervous. I ran into emergency and found myself in a room with iv hooked up, getting a cat scan, ekg, and all the other stuff. I was told to follow up with a neurologist on Monday. They said the ct had shown I had some sort of old fracture that is up until now still unexplained.

The meds they gave me made me sleep through the night. My thought was I would be normal by this morning. As I lifted out of bed and tested the water.......I was disappointed to feel the same as I had yesterday! Crap! Give me a break. I have things to do, a family to take care of and a life to live! I thought about laying back down and staying in bed, but my brain would not shut down, so I got up and decided to get ready for church. After all, when you feel off kilter, where would you rather be than in church where something miraculous can happen. Not that it can't right here or in the hospital, but it seems when you get a whole bunch of people together that believe in miracles, they happen!

Here's the crazy part....... I have to put a disclaimer here, I am NOT one that sees visions and dreams dreams. I know people do and I have asked God to give me dreams, just hasn't happened for me. However, this morning as I decided to get to the bath and get ready for church, something happened. It was a chore, every step from getting into the shower to getting dressed. Each move I made, I just wanted to make it in the direction of the bed. Then as I was standing in the mirror putting on a bit of face, instead of seeing my face I was looking at a soldier, in medevial times, putting on his armor and getting ready for battle. Every time I picked up a different piece of make up, I saw a different piece of armor! Suddenly I realized, this is not about how I feel, this is a battle and I am making a choice to fight it. I truly believe that God is saying to me, "Get up and fight". Wow!!! I saw the whole thing at this point. Satan wants to defeat me. He knows that i am on the verge of kicking his butt!

I was dressed, came downstairs waiting for everyone else to dress. A looked up the word battle in the Bible. Duet 20 and this is what God said to me.

Hear O Isreal, today you go up to battle against your enemies. Do not be let your hearts faint, do not be afraid, do not tremble neither be terrified before their faces. For Jehovah your God is He who goes with you to fight for you and to save you.

Well, I am on my way to meet with a bunch of believers at church. I am soooo excited to see how God is going to win this battle for me!
