DAY 4 - The Wait....but I am thankful!

Have you ever been filled with so many different emotions you felt like you just might explode? Well, that is how I have felt over the last month or so. I have to admit being on this emotional roller coaster has been exhausting.  However, today I want to talk about being filled with love and gratefulness.

I have been amazed with the support I have received from so many people.  Oftentimes, we read, hear, or experience the disappointing, and awful things people do.  But, there are so many people who are good, kind-hearted, loving, supportive and giving.  I have said many times that I am so thankful for my amazing support system.  My support system is made up of so many people including: friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, brothers and sisters in Christ, classmates and even strangers who send me words of encouragement daily. I have also had the opportunity to meet a few heart transplant survivors via phone, Facebook and email. These individuals are extraordinary and have also helped me tremendously through this process. My Aunt always tells me that God will supply ALL your needs and he is doing just that!

I want to introduce you guys to my amazing home health nurse.  She has educated, encouraged, and supported me through this process.  Ladies and Gentlemen meet Angela Martin:



I have not always had a great experience with home health nurses, but Angela has been great and changed my view. Nurses are special people.  And, the nurses that really care about their job and patient care should be celebrated.  I salute you.

I am thankful for the Lord waking me up this morning. I am thankful for my support system.  I am thankful to be able to share my journey with you.  I am so blessed.  God is so good!

Today is day 4 of my wait on the heart transplant list.  Some people have had to wait years for a transplant. And, my brother-in-law (Darius) reminded me that God is in control and he is always on time. I will not rush this process because God is not early or late he is on time. I believe in his power.  I have HOPE in HIM!  Everything will be just fine. 

Hug and Kiss your loved ones daily and please continue to pray for me!  I thank and appreciate all of you!

With Every Beat Love,
