• 1:44
  Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Have Faith, Let It Begin.
• 1:48
  My name is Angel, and I just wanted to let you know, let's begin this way.
• 1:53
  I am home okay I know I was thinking about that I was like that was a pretty
• 1:57
  crappy introduction I should have not left you on a cliffhanger but I'm home
• 2:01
  let's start off with that so and all is well so here's what happened and it's
• 2:06
  a lesson you know for all of us to not overdo things,
• 2:10
  myself included so okay so yesterday it was a Sunday and we were I was just
• 2:17
  hanging out with I was actually trying to take it easy had a very long weekend
• 2:20
  since Thursday it's been kind of a stressful weekend. I'm not going to lie.
• 2:25
  And we decided, I decided to lay down and watch a movie.
• 2:30
  Noah was napping, and while I was watching the movie, I had to use the lavatory
• 2:35
  while I was finishing up in the lavatory.
• 2:37
  I'm just being very honest, by the way, not because I can't skip this part,
• 2:42
  so I apologize, but anyway,
• 2:44
  while I was in the lavatory, I started to sweat profusely, and then afterwards,
• 2:50
  I started to feel some discomfort in the chest area and mainly on the left side,
• 2:56
  the pain started to get a little bit intense.
• 2:59
  So I said, hmm, you know, let me, uh, let me do the best thing.
• 3:04
  And, and let me just make sure that I test out my blood pressure with my blood pressure machine.
• 3:12
  And the blood pressure machine was very high. It was like 176 over 82.
• 3:19
  It's very high for me. I've never had blood pressure that eye.
• 3:22
  And then it got a little bit more intense. That's when I called my neighbors who are EMTs.
• 3:26
  They checked me out and determined maybe it was in our best interest to call
• 3:29
  the ambulance. So the ambulance was called. I went.
• 3:33
  As soon as they got in the ambulance, the pain actually shifted to my abdominal area.
• 3:40
  And that's when I knew, okay, we got a kidney stone.
• 3:44
  And, you know, we fast forward.
• 3:47
  God was good. There was nobody in the ER area. It was not a very busy night.
• 3:52
  So I was able to get a lot of attention because of the fact that it was less
• 3:57
  amount of people. They needed assistance.
• 4:00
  And after many tests, blood work, CAT scans, CAT, Rax rays, you name it,
• 4:06
  cardiology reports, everything, urine, blood, they determined it was a kidney stone.
• 4:11
  I did pass it and I was a little dehydrated.
• 4:15
  And yeah, all in all, of blood pressure
• 4:18
  after I passed it went right back to my normal 110
• 4:21
  over 82 and everything was
• 4:24
  good actually at one point I think it was 99 over or no 101 versus 101 over
• 4:30
  87 which is even better but yeah so that was pretty much the night a little
• 4:35
  scare but where's the message in all this because as I walk Cody this morning
• 4:40
  it's quite simple the message is that we all have to take our time.
• 4:44
  We have to know our limits. We have to be able to understand that.
• 4:50
  You know, we can't do everything. And I got to take things one step at a time.
• 4:55
  I got two little children and I've got to make sure that I am at the best health
• 5:00
  of, you know, that I can be.
• 5:02
  And now I know what's next for me. What's the next step.
• 5:07
  So I will keep you, you know, informed as to what's going on and keep you posted.
• 5:12
  And I want to thank you for all your, I want to thank you for your prayers in advance.
• 5:17
  Cause I know that all of you will be praying. I didn't want to scare anyone
• 5:20
  and post things and let them know and then with the unknown and it was late
• 5:24
  last night But I am well Got a lot of sleep And and that's about it.
• 5:30
  So Let's pray heavenly father Thank you for being there for me my family.
• 5:35
  Thank you for allowing me to understand that There's only so much that we can do.
• 5:44
  Individually and we have to do our best to keep us in control, in control of what we do.
• 5:52
  And, and by doing that, we have to know our limits, know our limitation,
• 5:56
  but more importantly, we have to put our faith, our trust in God.
• 6:02
  And then, you know, Aaron, my brother, Eric said something last night to me.
• 6:05
  He said, always remember God is first, you're second, and then your family.
• 6:10
  And at first I was like, that's not right. But I understand what he meant by that.
• 6:15
  It means take care of yourself first, because it's like being on an airplane.
• 6:19
  You have to put your mask on first so that you could be there for others.
• 6:24
  Well, I'm putting my mask on. I'm gonna get healthy.
• 6:28
  I'm going to get myself on track and I'm gonna make sure that I'm here for the long haul.
• 6:35
  Heavenly Father, we pray for all of our half-faith, let it begin, family members.
• 6:40
  We continue to ask for forgiveness, understanding, wisdom,
• 6:44
  guidance, and most importantly, we want you to know that we believe in you,
• 6:50
  God, because we know that you believe in us, that we love you,
• 6:52
  God, because we know you love us, that we trust in you, God,
• 6:56
  because we know you trust us,
• 6:58
  and we know that with you and through you, everything is possible.
• 7:02
  As we pray the words that you taught us, our Father, who art in heaven,
• 7:08
  hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
• 7:16
  Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
• 7:24
  Lead us not into temptation. Deliver us from evil.
• 7:29
  For yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
• 7:36
  Have faith. Let it begin. See you tomorrow. Thank you for listening to Have
• 7:41
