“I am who You say I am”

 

“She is clothed in STRENGTH and dignity, and she laughs WITHOUT FEAR of the future” Proverbs  31:25

On November 8, 2018 it was the last time I would take my husband to the hospital. I took him in for the flu. I never imagined that 14 strokes, 4 anyuersms, a destroyed heart and 40 days later I would watch him take his last breath and leave me to raise our 7 month and 4 year old children by myself. During those 40 days it felt like we were on a roller coaster. Nothing was guaranteed. The only guarantee I had was the promises God made me. The promises that I believed with every fiber of my being.

So many people commented and still tell me how strong I am. The simple answer is because God carried me through it. The real answer is so much more complex.

The purpose of this blog is to walk you through the real answer. I have felt for weeks that God wanted me to share the story He carried me through. This is hard for me to do. I am opening myself completely and being more vulnerable than I have ever been in my entire life. While I know literally thousands have seen part of this story…….there is still someone else who needs to hear it.

  1. Michelle, your husband and all of us are so proud of the woman you have become. It is something to witness how you draw your strength from the Lord. I always feel like I am just not strong enough to share with others. This first message has already made me feel better about myself. Thank you for sharing your testimony. Love you, Eve
