I woke up in the middle of the night.  I had been doing this quite a bit since I was pregnant with our second child.  I wasn’t hungry and when I tried to read, the words weren’t making much sense.  I laid on the couch so I wouldn’t disturb my husband who had been really stepping in and taking charge with everything because I had been so sick.  I felt uneasy and uncomfortable, but eventually, I crawled back into bed because I needed to sleep before work the next day.  When I finally awoke, it

I was diagnosed with lupus in college. Lupus coupled with APS (clotting disorder) almost took my life in 2005. I survived a very rare and fatal form of APS that causes multiple organ failure.

September 16, 2017, I stood before a crowd of women speaking at the Women’s Conference ‘Overcomers through Christ.’  The day was filled with a marvelous Spirit of God and wonderful fellowship among sisters in Christ!  Little did I know what was in store the next day. On Sunday, September 17, I was sitting in the pew listening as my husband preached the sermon God had laid on his heart.  I noticed that I was having trouble understanding the words he was speaking and I just felt ‘foggy.’  My
