I could not eat, sleep, nor lay down.  The only way I could stop the pain was to stand up.  I was not saved at the time this happened.  But let me tell you something, I could not describe the pain – all I knew is I had to get to a hospital.  When my husband came home for lunch break, I was at the door waiting on him.

We went to the emergency room.  They rushed me in the back.

The doctors informed me that I had a heart attack, and that I needed three stents in my arteries, which were blocked.  No blood could flow to my heart.

I want to thank God for giving me a heart of a servant.  I thank him for lifting me up when I was down.  I want to thank Him for saving my soul and for making me whole.
