Jewells of Thought

Only about 6 months ago I seem to remember a similar situation. March 13th the day before my earlier surgery was the last time we were facing a government shutdown. In the few days leading to surgery day I wondered if a shutdown would make an impact on my day in the hospital.

It did not take long for me to simply stop thinking about it. I just needed to keep calm and know God would be with me no matter what could plausibly happen as random thoughts swam in my mind. If Charlie Kirk had known he would be shot at I truly believe he would have prayed up but still gone forward with his day. I read an article from one of his Turning Point Team from The Western Journal, the COO reveals that the shooting could have been prevented.

The TPUSA Team had the tech, the drone technology they needed, but it was turned down by the Utah Valley University Police. Securing the university was their job, but TPUSA’s security job was to secure Kirk and they were refused the ability to use their own security devices. Unfortunately this is now hindsight vision and the effects are still rippling from that assassination. Maybe the UVU Police will change policy now.

While the government didn’t shutdown on that surgery day I disappeared from this website. I had to make a couple of personal decisions. One financially and personally I knew this would be a great challenge and knew typing would be just one of my difficulties. Also I wasn’t very good at making videos. I truly needed the break in order to find my inspiration again. How incredible is it that the timing placed me back on here a few weeks before the horrific and life-changing event of September 10th?

Bryan knows how much more than just a hobby this blog is to me. He is my biggest encouragement, up there with Mom. I never thought I would have found a man so in tune with my needs and wants like this, but he knew I was missing this and he made this comeback happen. I am so grateful to have a relationship like this and pray God continues to nourish this bond from this distance. We want to make things more official and be in the same state. Just like I can’t worry about what might happen on surgery day I also have to leave this to God’s will for us. He has brought us this far.

Now after my second surgery this year the shutdown has officially happened. God is still in control. Even before the deadline two Democrats and an Independent voted to avoid this shutdown. Some were trying to work across the aisle. Is the ripple effect maybe working in Congress and will it continue? What will happen next in this shutdown saga, after all, even President Trump believes Charlie and his organization is why he is President right now!
