I Feel Normal

Psalm 3:3-5 

³ But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

 ⁴ With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He hears and answers me out of His holy hill.

⁵ I lay down and slept; I wakened again, for the Lord sustains me.

This is a great scripture to start saying what I have been waiting to say.
It was a little more than 16 months ago that I suffered a severe heart attack (myocardial infarction). Most of that year and four months, I expected to expire at any moment. I was OK with that because of my faith. He gave me strength to work at staying active because I knew that if I didn't I would not have any quality of life. There are so many loving friends and family that have been holding me up in their thoughts and prayers and I know that it makes a difference. Even those who don't believe as I do may not understand but I think our Father in Heaven reads and hears those thoughts and feelings concerning his children. I am blessed to have a great team of doctors. Especially my cardiologist and my G.P..
The main thing I want to say today, just so you know....I feel normal! that is not a small thing.. I have not been able to say that for a long time. The two new stents have made a major difference. I have slept a full eight hours plus, for the last two nights. After only sleeping 3 to 5 hours a night for the last year or so, I can feel myself healing and life improving. 
I am still dealing with the pain of coccydinia(bruised tailbone), arthritic pain in my back, neck, knee and foot. They found that I have the early stage of chronic lympocytic leukemia. (Stage 0)
I have developed an inguinal hernia that we plan to take care of as soon as my cardiologist lets me slack off the blood thinner. Little things can be so annoying when all the other things are working against you, so it's hard to mention the corn on my toe that bothers when all else is resting... Ü. These things have made me mindful of others who are suffering with related problems and so reminds me to pray.
The Lord has brought me through so much and had some things to teach me. I think the most important of these things is that I have so many hours that I could devote to prayer (I mean serious prayer and supplication) and time to study and get into the word. Surely some will agree that sometimes in takes a two by four to the side of the head to get my attention but he has it now and I will lift his name and Glory in the Lord. 
He has given me a new song and I will be posting it on Youtube and on here when it's finished.
May he magnify your blessings today.
