I haven't journaled since March 7th, allot has happened since then.  On March 8th I started to get very sick.  I started having stomach pains.  On March 9th I went to the doctor.  He was ready to put me in the hospital.  We all agreed to wait and see if this illness would pass.  All night long I kept getting up sick to my stomach.  At 3:00 a.m. I couldn't stay in bed any longer.  The pain was getting very severe.  At 6:15, my husband said that we were going to the emergency room.  I spent my time in the emergency room until about 4:00 p.m.  Then I was taken to surgery.  It turned out to be a hernia.

I am getting very close to being professed into the Secular Franciscan Order.  The Profession Ceremony is on June 13th.  I have been thinking that the devil is out to keep me and my husband from reaching our day.  I know that our Lord and Savior is our constant companion.

During my recovery, I have been praying earnestly for protection.  I want to serve my Lord forever.  I do not want anything or anyone to come between me and my Lord.

June 13th will happen for me and my husband.  God loves me and I love Him.
