That little step back.

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth" (Psalm 46:10).

My child, allow me to make your path. I am here waiting for you. Believe in me and I will guide your path. You are my lamb and I know your call. Put faith in me child for I am the Lord......

The knows nose...HA!

If I can keep myself consciences I’ll be a bit descriptive about the past few days. I know I have forgotten tad bits of information or perhaps just not mentally available.
Thursday morning, the Day of Surgery.
Mike and I arrived at the hospital at 0700 hours. The pastor and one of the women at the church greeted me upon our arrival. Mind you I was oblivious as to who they were. I couldn’t wear my contacts and had purposely left my glasses at home, but it was great to know that even though family couldn’t be there I still had people there who cared. We shared some laughs and talked about a few things in the local community (for about an hour so) before they had to leave. It was very nice and comforting, though I was not nervous at all.
Everyone seemed a bit impressed that I wasn’t sitting at a high level of anxiety. At some point they rolled the hospital bed in the room and I soon headed to my destination; the operating room. On my way there I decided I wanted my nose to remain the same. God made me this way and this is how I should stay. If he has other plans for me he would change them through the Dr’s hands. It was not my choice to say what I wanted with my physical being, but it was by his will that I stand back and wait for the answer. His daughter left it in her father’s hands. The final results will come when the swelling goes down. It’s even difficult for me to tell what the Dr did.
As I mentioned before I went to church on Sunday, only enough to attend Praise and Worship. So many people came and laid hands on me. I assume, to ask God to ease the pain that I had and at times still have. Well I must tell you, BOY had the pain subsided! I went from having to pop meds every 1.5 hours to suddenly having most of them collecting dust! Yesterday morning I had continued to have severe pain. I sat up raised my head and lifted my hands to prayer. I asked by the name of Jesus that my pain be gone. I felt like so many people were praying for me at that moment. I even noticed that I had an odd amount of hits to my blog. I knew that God was working!
I went into the restroom, patiently and slowly, I began to blow, suddenly I had 2 clots come out. One was about an inch to an inch and half. I began to feel a little weak and extreme exhaustion kicked in. Within a few seconds I was able to breathe through a nostril I haven’t used in almost 3 months! I could smell, breathe in and out, and even have mucus come out! It was the greatest feeling. It suddenly hit me and the pain kicked in fourth gear. It didn’t last very long though.
I woke up this morning and felt so good. I feel like I have a cold. I don’t, but that’s how my nose is making me feel. I’m still breathing well. I’m weak and get tired rather quickly. I have some pressure, but the pressure I have no longer consists of pain. I believe I have only taken 2 pain killers today and maybe 4 Tylenols. I was able to clean the living room. I spoke to a few friends and I am feeling wonderfully alive! I am yet up to par but I do know I’ll be there sooner then anticipated. I was supposed to be completely down for a week, but instead I was able to subtract 3 days.
Tomorrow is one of a few follow up appointments. I will also be getting the results of the biopsy. I ask that you continue to pray for me. Gods work still isn’t done through my healing process. I’ll update tomorrow night at some point, but only under the condition that I’m doing okay. I believe I’ll be having a couple of stints removed but not sure.
I do have a few prayer requests.
Averi Pino: Stage 3 Cancer
Victoria Hyde: That God will bless her with good news to move this month.
Becca: Thank the Lord for helping strengthen her marriage! What a blessing!
My mom and sister: The Lord knows my needs.
Mark: That he return safe from Afghanistan
Principal at the local high School: Let him trust in the Lord that he be guided through all that is going on in the world. He is being sued by the district because he prayed at a meeting.
The students: That they continue to rally against Satan and stand next to the principal despite the lash they are getting from others. 400 children and counting!!
To all who are sick and /suffering.

Let me end by saying this; I believe in the Holy Spirit.

Put a smile on my face.

I’m going to continue to start by introducing what I have learned within myself. After that is when I’ll go ahead and tell you about the ins and outs of the Aguilar Family.

“I will forget my complaint; I will change the look on my face and smile.”
Job 9:27

With that alone, I think I’ve learned plenty.

Today was an off day. I put myself in the position of not leaving the house. We’ve had a beautiful breezy day. A breezy or windy day means more pollen in the air, so I decided to stay indoors.

Lately I’ve been fighting against the bad (Satan). Tonight I was in church and sure enough I starting getting headaches. Once again I, WE fought him off and we won! Why not watch the devil be defeated? I’m sorry, but yes, my God is that good! Not only is he good but he is GREAT!

Today we got word that we have been put on high alert. Someone allowed anger and perhaps hatred to overcome him. He went into a bank at some point, robbed them, and left behind tad bits of information saying he was going to get back at the military. His plans are to go to bases and make a bloody chaos. They have no idea where he is at and they do have a complete description of this man.

I say let fear not overcome us because God has sent his angels to protect us.

Next deal, I have an appointment on Tuesday at 11am to see my Dr. I’m still scheduled to have my surgery next week but there is a test that he needs me to take. All I know is that I can’t miss church! They’re going to have to find a way so that I can still attend Sunday services.

I’m a bit saddened that I won’t be making it to Texas. I had hoped to see Stephanie graduate. I feel so bad that I won’t be there for her. I will defiantly be thinking of her that day.

You know there is a connection you make with military families. It’s hard to explain. This evening I met someone whose husband passed away some years back. She told me that her husband served in the military. I don’t remember if she told me what branch, I’m almost sure, but at the same time not sure. Does that make sense? I think I lost myself in that statement. HA! God bless her heart she must have been about 70 years of age if not older. Oh where was I going with this? Anyway, when introducing herself, apart of me got excited because she too was apart of the family. It’s an indescribable feeling but it felt so good knowing that someone there knows the obstacles that a military wife faces each and every day.

Now by no means am I saying being a civilian wife is easy. It’s just that with the military spouse we have to find family where ever it is we go. I have family all over the world!!! I am the proud wife to a man that serves for a nation! He serves just so that I can get a nose job! LOL! I had to toss that in.

This is my randomness.

Hey did I mention that all the women I know are Devine women? I love you all! Yes you are Devine! I am Devine!
