 A Second Chance At Life © & National Wear Red Day by Shirley W. Mitchell Today, February 6, 2009 is National Wear Red Day promoting prevention of heart disease. The simple, powerful way to raise an awareness of heart disease and stroke and support the fight against heart disease in women is to Wear Red Today. I will be Wearing Red Today, why don't you join me. Also a donation to the American Heart Association would be a great help. July 4th, 2008, my perfect health for 70 years came to a sudden stand still. Thanks to modern medicine and a Heart Pacemaker placed in my chest, I am again a bionic woman with a second chance at life. It took me a few days to get my mind wrapped around the fact that my perfect health I had enjoyed all my life was gone. I felt like King David in 1 Samuel 30:1-6, King James Version of the Bible. "And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire: (2) And had taken the women captives and were therein: they slew not any, either great of small, but carried them away, and went on their way. (3) So King David and his men cane to the city, and behold it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. (4) Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep. (5) And King David's two wives were taken captives. (6) And King David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons, and for his daughters: BUT KING DAVID ENCOURAGED HIMSELF IN THE LORD HIS GOD. As David, we will pray to our God and He will hear. Verse 8, "And David enquired at the Lord, shall I pursue after this troop? (Amelekites) Shall I overtake them? And He answered, pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all." And David recovered all! Verse 18, "And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away; and David rescued his two wives." So, like King David, I grieved over my sick heart, then I encouraged myself in my God. Being under the umbrella of God's presence I knew my new Heart Pacemaker was gain, not loss. Nothing is lost under the protection of God. As we live the Christian Abundant Life, our recovery from hard times begins on the inside soul as we connect with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Encourage your self in the Lord today and wear RED! Connect with Him for divine guidance. The victory is yours. There is victory in Jesus. Many people in our world today are hurting! We are in war, economic stress, global warming, natural disasters, failing health, families are falling apart, and addiction plague many lives. In such times as these it is imperative we connect with our creator, the ruler of the universe. As I charge forward with my new Heart Pacemaker, I have a new zeal for encouraging others to encourage themselves in their God, making their grand finale of life victorious!
