Welcome To Crystal's Blog

It is my prayer that God will use my writings to bless you today. I write straight from the heart. I write as a venue to praise God, and grow as a woman. I am a woman saved by grace! I am married to the most amazing man, and I have been blessed with four beautiful children. God uses my family to teach me and subsequently increases my faith in Him. At times I write through tears of joy, and at times tears of sorrow. Join me as I honestly share my heart and give God praise for His love!

Daniel's trip to the ER

Two night ago I spent the night in the ER with little Daniel!!! He was having an asthma attack. It was a difficult situation to say the least. The hardest part was the hospital atmosphere. I am still traumatized by the images I observed while being in the hospital. The hospitals in the states have mostly private rooms. Every once in awhile you may share a room with another patient. This hospital had all sick people in a big open room. The adults were on one side and pediatrics on the other side. As the night progressed into the morning, God spoke to my heart. God said, "Crystal, you are so focused on Daniel you have not stopped to pray for my other hurting children". It was like a knife to the heart. I realized at that point how painful it was for God to sacrifice His one and only son, Jesus. I didn't stop praying for my beloved Daniel, but I began praying for those around me. God gave me a compassion for the other hurting Korean children. I placed Daniel in God's hands!!! When the doctor released Daniel I was absolutely exhausted, mentally, spiritually, and physically. Poor Daniel was exhausted as well. We came home and collapsed for the next 4 hours. I am still praying for Daniel's asthma condition. He seems better this afternoon. Thank you to all of my family and friends for your prayers!!! God is good, and always provides special people at the right times. For example, my new neighbor Jenny who is Korean/American. She took me to the hospital. She communicated with the nurses and doctor's. What a blessing!!! I would have been more frightened had she not been there to translate. God has not promised we would not walk through difficulties, but he has promised he would walk with us!!! Thank you, Father, for your loving guidance, in this big and frightening world!!!
