I'm going to share something not so cozy that happened in my own life some time ago. This incident was definitely far from the word cozy. I'm going to share something but I'm begging you, and you know who you are, to not repeat what you read to any of my loved ones. I will find out in a not so positive way. Please try to remember that. Thank you.
Anyway, let's dive in. I was in my second or third pregnancy. Remember I had mentioned before, they ended badly due to early water breakage (4 months). Joe and I didn't even know until the water breakage. I felt it a little but didn't think of it because I was told by other doctors that I wasn't able to have kids. Friends, like I said, anything is possible. Joe and I wanted to take the gamble and see if something good will happen. The gamble was my life or the unborn baby's life. When this happened a couple years ago Joe and I wanted to take the gamble and it ended badly. When it happened again, it ended badly. If I was bleeding or had a temperature of 100.4, I had to go to the hospital immediately so they can remove the baby, or else.
Read what happened next just recently. I woke up around 2 a.m. Thank God for waking me up! Joe takes my temperature and it was high enough for me to go to the hospital. Joe wanted to actually drive me himself. However, the Holy Spirit was telling my heart this is an emergency tell your husband to call 9-1-1. This is not the time to be acting all heroic. LOL So, I shared with Joe my thoughts like what if there was traffic on the way. So thank God Joe called 9-1-1.
When they got here it was slowly starting to become a blur. I asked Joe more about it actually just recently. He said he drove his car and followed the ambulance. He said the sirens were going off and someone actually cut him off while he was following the ambulance. LOL
Anyway, as soon as I got to the hospital they said the baby has to come out now! I guess my fever was up there. Then, all I remember from that time was the medical people putting something in me so the baby will come out. And I also remember turning into that of a demon-possessed woman and yelling "Give me drugs!!!" Then they had to do a little surgery something with the placenta I don't get it much.
That whole incident is what came to mind once I thought of a not so cozy incident. That whole story was in the back of my mind. I really never wanted to be reminded of that again. However, God had a different story apparently!
Perfect example from the Bible. The once human now God, Jesus Christ. I'm guessing Jesus lived a pretty normal life from birth to his adult years. When God the Father had his plan of Jesus Christ suffering and dying for us that was when everything went not so cozy in his life! Friends, he was mocked! He was spat on! People hurt him physically and mentally! Jesus was crucified! See what I mean when I say not to so cozy!?
I would also like to give a shout out to Jennifer from the Beauty Supply Store and Keith the CTA bus driver. My caretaker gave both of them my card last Friday. I hope you both will be blessed by my writings.
More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
1 Peter 5:10 ESV
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
Romans 8:18 ESV
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
