I rushed frantically into the emergency room, holding my limp 2-year-old in my arms.  The lady at the desk tells me to fill out the small sheet on the desk, so I did and to have a seat.  Surely, I’m thinking they will call him soon.  The lady at the desk casually gets up to get her a bag of chips as if nothing else is important.  While my toddlers’ lips are turning more blue by the second.  Suddenly, he lets out this loud gasp for air.  Immediately, I run up to the desk, now disturbing her chip break to demand that he be seen.

 My baby is not breathing well as I explained.  He was rushed back into the emergency room. I heard a loud announcement over the intercom system:  CODE BLUE, CODE BLUE.  I watched the curtains be pulled.

That’s right…Jeremy had gone into cardiac arrest, while I was patiently waiting for the tech to call me while she ate her chips.   This really happened but in the face of adversity at twenty-two years old; I was able to say, all is well.

God promised us that his peace would guard our hearts beyond our understanding. I remained calm.  No tears.  No anxiety attacks.  I was just looking for answers and praying for Gods best.  God did not fail me and he will never fail you either.

The bible says if we faint in the day of adversity, then our strength is small.  I knew he would be alright.  He had lost oxygen to his brain and laid in intensive care for 5 days before being stabilized but I still was able to say, all is well.  This reminds me of the Shunamite woman whose son died, that was able to say, all is well.  God wants us to be able in the face of death, to still be able to say, all is well.   

Some may never have a testimony like this but even on the brink of your diagnosis, God wants you to come to him and trust him so you also can say, all is well.  Whether you are facing foreclosure, the loss of your job, death of a child unexpectedly or the loss of a spouse.  God is able to bring you out of that place of grief and loss and allow you to have a testimony of: all is well. The prophet Elijah raised her son from the dead but she had to bring him to him. Have you brought that dead thing to God to be resurrected?

This is what she did to ensure that nothing and no one would interfere with what she needed from God.  She kept her mouth closed.  Are you in a situation that you need God to move miraculously?  She knew where to get the help she needed. She didn’t even stop to tell his father when he asked her was everything ok.

Do you run to your spouse or others for things you should be running to God to in prayer? God wants us to depend on him and trust him no matter how bad our situation is and know that he is in control aa our testimony can also be, all is well.

2 Kings 4:22 Then she called to her husband and said, “Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may quickly go to the man of God and come back again.” 23 And he said, “Why will you go to him today? It is neither new moon nor Sabbath.” She said, “All is well.” 24 Then she saddled the donkey, and she said to her servant, “Urge the animal on; do not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you.” 25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.

When the man of God saw her coming, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Look, there is the Shunammite. 26 Run at once to meet her and say to her, ‘Is all well with you? Is all well with your husband? Is all well with the child?’” And she answered, “All is well.” 27 And when she came to the mountain to the man of God, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came to push her away. But the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she is in bitter distress, and the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me.
