Not so Normal Life Lately

So, all who know me, or have even read my blog (and didn't know me personally), know I am a teacher.  I have been a teacher for 18 years, and have taken the day off here and there for sickness, parental dr trips, even just one of those "I need a break" days.  Lately, however, my health has been causing me to take more and more, until a mutual decision between my admin and I (well, they had to convince me), has resulted in a short medical leave.

 

I have had two angiograms in the past two months, one of which showed that I did, indeed have a heart attack, and the other which showed no additional attack, same amount of blockage, and that I'm having this chest pain because, we don't know.

I go Wednesday for a procedure that doesn't even sound remotely nice; however it should at least eliminate one more possibility.  This is the part that makes me absolutely crazy!  I am not a wimp, I am not a whiner, but this is sure kicking my tail!!!

This time has given me the opportunity to reflect on A LOT of different things.  One of those things happens to be my spiritual life, or lack thereof.  I've shared before about the lack of church in our lives, but what I haven't shared is how I don't really miss it.  That's the scary part!  I have been in church my whole life!!!  Now, before you judge me, just because I'm not in church doesn't mean I don't say my prayers for whatever  or whomever I feel the need to pray, I also have a little more quiet time with God than I did before.  

After numerous conversations with God, I think I'm good with where I am right now.  Will I go back to church?  Yes, I know I will, but do I feel the need to be there right now?  No, I really don't.  Don't be sad for me, and don't condemn me, just do me the favor of putting my name in your prayers to God, that He just watch over and protect me. 

Who knows, I may just do a whole month of Church hopping starting with Easter Sunday at my Momma and Daddy's church!

Happy Thursday, thanks for stopping by!
