My Miracle from God
It was January 18, 2009. The day I had to get an emergency C-section, I was 37 weeks pregnant and the doctors found out I had a condition called preeclampsia, which had turned into eclampsia. I was quite sick and the only cure for eclampsia is to deliver the baby. My beautiful baby boy Isaiah was born on January 18, 2009. He was six pounds, eleven ounces and nineteen inches long. He was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. All was well, my doctor said that Isaiah was healthy and that he was going to be just fine. It was the perfect day, but what I didn’t know was my son was in for the fight of his life, he was sick and no one would believe me.
Three days later Isaiah and I were released from Women’s and Children’s Hospital, my husband Shawn, and his mother Ann drove us home from the hospital. When we reached the house all my family was there to meet Isaiah. My father and mother Scott and Debbie, My grandfather and grandmother Harold and Juanita and my brother Davie and his wife Sherry and their three children. Everyone was so thrilled to see and hold Isaiah. As it got later everyone decided to leave and allow us to rest, however my mother Debbie stayed behind to help me with Isaiah.
One week had gone by and Isaiah wasn’t sleeping well at all, my mother Debbie was only supposed to stay one night, but she stayed to assist us for the week. Mother was exhausted so she went home after seven days. Three weeks had gone by and Isaiah was getting worse, he
Life changed for us once again when a woman named Martha came into our lives. Martha was a retired geriatric nurse who worked part time as a home caregiver. With me preparing to head off to college several states away in the fall, Martha was hired to care for my mother. Though I was excited to get some time off from my usual responsibilities, I was anxious to allow someone else to care for the most important person in my life. It took me months to learn to trust her, but her sweet, confident demeanor and the exceptional way she cared for my mother finally won me over. After one exceptionally hard day tending to my mother, Martha found me crying. I poured my heart out to her, lamenting all the difficulties and stress in my life, and wondering at why God had chosen to give us this life instead of something easier. Martha had simply taken my hand and looked me firmly in the eye. She told me that God never gave us more than what we could handle. She assured me that my suffering would only help me in the long run, molding me into a stronger more capable
It took hours for the ambulance to get there. She had now been in the hospital for 2 weeks, but she had not woken up yet. As her twins, husband, family and friends waited for the news, most of them were still dealing with the fact that she could be dead in her early age of 38. One day while everyone was waiting the doctors came out and said that she stopped breathing and there was nothing they could do, she was dead. As everyone came to a sudden realization that she was really REALLY gone, her husband didn't want to except it. Finally, he excepted it and everyone was heartbroken at this loss. Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for coming here today to remember our beloved friend we have lost, but now we can say she is with her father, Jesus, and every member she has ever
On the day of November 30,2000, Jennifer and Travis Vineyard’s second son, Hayden Matthew, was born inside of a room at the University of Tennessee Hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was born in November, but my parents were expecting me to be born in January of 2001, making me a premature. I was very small as a baby with only being 3 pounds and 15 ounces. I was the smallest baby in my family. As a baby I was hard to handle with not being able to breath on my own, my family was being hopeful that I would survive, the doctors weren’t. And with a little bit of praying, I was able to start breathing on my own.
What if you were destined to save your town, would you be heroic enough? What is a hero? Campbell’s Heroic Journey, The Hobbit, and story/ film explains. My idea of a hero is being a person who sacrifices themselves for others, and doesn't think people are less worthy than themselves. The Heroic Journey describes that anyone can be a hero, examples of that would be The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, which is a story about a group of men go on a death defying journey to save the town. The other story is How to Train Your Dragon is similar with other supernatural events. Such as dragons and bugs. Despite having similar heroes, The Hobbit had a stronger Heroic Journey because there were more obstacles.
“Good evening”, Cameron Joy Gaspord said to Resident A as she delivers their freshest made dinner to them. This is a part of Cameron’s job; however, to Cameron, it is far more than a job. Cameron’s first day at Grace Point, over a year and a half ago, she was unsure of her job. Now a year and a half later Cameron knows every tiny detail from the seating chart to all the residents' names. Due to state laws, Cameron is not allowed to share the name of residents or any health complication.
As much as I missed my mom I did not want to leave. This time instead of going out and doing farm chores we stayed in and did house chores. My chore was with Ben we were with MC. We were supposed to sweep the balconies so we went upstairs so we could start from the top and work our way down. While we were up there I saw Mr. Fernandez and it was so funny because he had to do the saw dust toilet stuff and when I yelled to say hey to him what he said just made me laugh. Once Ben and I were done with that Carley Ann wanted me to come back in the kitchen so I could organize the containers again so I did and Ben helped me with that. At that point it was basically over and now we were going to take pictures, pray together one more time, and then
I remember when I started my recovery I was discharged from the detox program into a six month transitional program. Transitional living that deal with people recovering from addiction are often referred to as recovery residences. The Transitional Living Center provided me a place where I could re-establish my own self-worth. When I was at the transitional housing I felt safe from the possibility of a relapse. My recovery plan was individualized according to the determination of my needs. They taught me what my triggers were and how deal with them in positive ways. I remember when my six months were up and I was getting ready to be transferred into the supportive housing program to be integrated back into the community. Supportive housing allowed
The room is peaceful now, it is just Aaron and I sitting here with our son. Holding him and just looking at him while he sleeps. A nurse comes in and I ask her when we can go home and she says, "it looks like you can tomorrow."

My most significant experience in my life is unforgettable. I was there with my sisters, my mom, and my dad. It was the most horrifying event that I have ever witnessed. The daunting image in my head is still clear as day, as though it happened yesterday. This event did not affect only me, but also my family. The story that I am about to tell you may change the way you see things and it may not. All I can say is, it
The G.D. changed my life completely, and it didn’t just change mine, it also changed my family’s life. I’ve lost friends and family members because of the great depression, I lost my stock market and crop, I’ve lost everything. I’m really trying here to make a living through this disaster and it’s hard but my whole family depends on me, my kids, my wife everybody. All I want right now is to be able to provide for my family, feed them and not have to struggle as hard. We lost everything and from now on all I can think and hope is that we can move forward from this and make a better living.
There’s something about writing your raw emotions on a piece of paper that allows your spirit to run free and hold no boundaries of what you can think of and it's only the moments in life that can fuel the locked potential inside you. The epiphany of my life was actually closer to this present time than in the past, about last year my family moved from New haven to Branford. In New haven I was in a program which allowed me to go to Wallingford as a district school and I spent 6 years in this program making friends and going to school all I knew from my elementary to highschool period from then was Wallingford. While schooling in Wallingford district living in New haven I had developed a skill of poetry in the midst of 8th grade. I found that
He then speaks out against all corrupt churchmen, calling them idolaters and an affliction on the world. “Justice caused my high architect to move, Divine omnipotence created me, the highest wisdom, and the primal love. Before me there were no created things, but those that last forever—as do I. Abandon all hope you who enter here”
I will never forget the moment my labor began, the moment that marked that step in my journey into motherhood. I can remember everything about it so clearly. My mom, fiancé, and I woke up early Friday morning to make our way to Western Missouri Medical Center. I stood in front of the mirror looking at my belly knowing it would be my last time standing in that bathroom with my baby inside of me still. It was a bittersweet moment that I cherished as long as I possibly could. I was set to be induced that morning and very excited, yet a little bit nervous. I had no idea what to expect. I’d been waiting a very long 37 weeks to finally meet this precious human that had been growing inside me. I had ideas of what he might look like, and what the experience might be like, however nothing could have prepared me for what was in store over the next few days.
Throughout my life, I feel like I have been pretty successful. I have been able to accomplish some of my personal goals, while both being able to give back to my community and plan for my future. I hope that my with the success I have had already, will help me have an even more successful life in the future.
