About Me

My photo
At age 39, I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy. I was given days to live with a heart function of 5% at that time. I was also told I needed a heart transplant to survive. I am now a 13 year survivor and have not had a heart transplant. I am married to my best friend, Steve and have one daughter, age 19. I'm sharing my journey to help others and because it "Matters to my Heart."

Blessings

I love this song and the words mean so much to me. Maybe it will touch your heart too. I can truly say my battle with heart disease has been an absolute blessing. Heart disease saved my life and saved me from myself.

Blessings. Laura Story

we pray for blessings,
We pray for peace.
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep.
We pray for healing, for prosperity.
We pray your mighty hand to ease our suffering.
all the while, you hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things.

Cause what if your blessing come through raindrops
What if your healing comes through tears.
What if a thousand sleepless nights
are what it takes to know you're near.
What if the trials of this life are your mercies in disguise.

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
and we cry in anger when we cannot feel you near.
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from your word is not enough.
All the while, you hear each desperate plea
and long that we'd have faith to believe.

Cause what if you blessings come through raindrops.
What if you healing comes through tears.
What if a thousand sleepless nights
are what it takes to know you're near.
And what if trials of this life are your mercies in disguise.

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win.
We know the pain reminds this heart
that this world is not our home.

Cause what if you blessings come through raindrops.
What if your healing comes through tears.
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
are what it takes to know you're near.
What if my greatest disappointments
or the aching of this life
is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
and what if the trials of this life,
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
are your mercies in disguise.
