WAKE UP CALL!!!

Well as the day progressed Thursday, I ran to Kohls to get Chase man a new shirt to wear for his awards day on Friday! While I was in Kohls my phone rang, I couldnt answer it at the moment and it was my husband, I called him back a few minutes later only to be told that "Ma'am, Scott is busy". I thought to myself, how dare she tell me that. I left Kohls and was headed back to work when my phone rang again and it was the girl from the front counter and she said "Hey Mrs Christie, I need you to talk to Mrs Judy" Well, my heart sunk - I knew something was wrong. Ms Judy got on the phone and told me that Scott was having chest pains pretty bad and they had called 911. As I took off to toward his work, my phone rang again and it was Derrick, Scotts brother. He was making sure that I knew, and said they were taking him to Baptist.

I sped to Revell and arrived there before they left with him -- oh my -- what a horrible feeling of looking at your husband laying in the back of an ambulance, oxygen on, ekg's running etc... I got out and asked him if he was ok and he said that he really didnt know. My heart melted.

As I followed the ambulance to the Hospital all of these thoughts were going through my head - all the what ifs? Trying to think positive, but knowing also that there could be something wrong at the same time. I could see him laying back there all hooked, I was crying and hoping all along he couldnt see me!I felt totally hopeless!

What would I do if something really happened to him? What about my 4 kids? What would they do without their daddy? What about his momma? What about ME? Did I take the time to tell him this morning how much I TRULY LOVE HIM? Does he know that he is my WORLD? Did my kids tell him bye before getting on the bus? Does he know that our lives would never be complete without him here? Does he know that I cant raise these kids without him? Does he know how many lives he has touched in his life?

As all these things raced through my mind, all I DID KNOW, is that if something happened, as sad as I would be, my HUSBAND is SAVED and would spend eternity with our Heavenly Father. This is an AMAZING FEELING(even though my human selfish self wasnt satisfied with that).

Well, after a night in the cardiac unit and TONS AND TONS OF PRAYER, we are home - perfectly clear heart! So what happened??? STRESS!!! You gotta be kidding me?

There is one thing I can tell you after all of this! There will be some changes at the Copeland House! We will FIND TIME to chill -- we will QUIT RUNNING day in and day out -- we will MAKE OURSELVES rest daily -- we will GET ENOUGH sleep -- we will BEGIN TO eat right and we will NOT ALLOW things of the world to worry us!

This was a horrible two days, one that I hope we never go through again! I am just so very thankful that God was with us and my precious sweet husband is ok.!!!
