The scary events of last week with my child almost having appendicitis and surgery was eye-opening.  Through it all, God allowed me to show patience (waiting for all the doctors/results) and reliance on God.  He was so good at calming my spirit and allowing his peace to overwhelm me in ways I have not experienced in a long time.  I hope you have times like this.  Not the medical scare, but times when God just overwhelms you with his peace and presence.
