I believe it was back in 2007 that I had a kidney stone attack. It was so painful. It was the third time I had, had it happen. I was so sick, throwing up and in alot of pain. I was at home. The kids had school so I told them to go to bed. I didn't want them to miss school. I laid there as long as I could and then I finally got up and drove myself to the Emergency Room. They gave me morphine. It was the only thing that would even slightly touch the pain. I was there all night. The next day, I start feeling some better and didn't even have a ride home. I couldn't get ahold of anyone. I laid there wanting to cry. I was alone, in pain and felt the true feeling of alone. I began to cry and the Holy Spirit calmed me. He reminded me that I wasn't alone. That he was there and that it was going to be alright.
I called a friend that I worked with and she said she would come get me. She did and she took me home. I wasn't feeling well still. I am so grateful for my friend, Beth, who came and got me. I just can't begin to express how alone I felt in the hospital with no one there.
God will always show up wherever you are if you invite him. Rather it be in a hospital room, your home, office, jail, a crisis...whatever it is....Just remember the Holy Spirit is there to comfort, encourage and help you.
