When faith is all you've got to hold on to

I'd like to share an event in my life. This is one of times when I felt that I could lose everything and I couldn't do anything about it. My wife was about to give birth to my second child. At that time we were living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with my family. My wife was scheduled for Ceasarean Section that night so the four of us, My wife, my 3 year old son, my mother who I invited to join us in Saudi, and myself were at the hospital arranging all the necessary documents. This was to be second time that my wife gave birth through CS but I was still worried because we were in a foreign country. I didn't like thinking that doctors would be cutting about a foot long incision on my wife's belly and was also worried about all the things that could go wrong. Since not all of us were allowed to stay at the hospital that night, our plan was to take my son home with my mom and I would go back to the hospital to be with my wife. But as fate would have it, things didn't go according to plan. My son had been suffering from asthma attacks and just as my wife was about to be admitted he had one of the worst asthma attacks yet. Fortunately we were already at the hospital and my son was also admitted. When the doctors were taking care of my son I remember thinking that this could be the worst moment of my life. I was there in perfect health and the people that I loved the most were suddenly in God's hands. The only thing that I could do was pray and hold on to my faith that God wouldn't make turn my fears into reality. This story has a happy ending. My daughter is now 5 years old and my son is going on 10. All I really want to say is if you ever find yourself in a situation where faith is all you've got to hold on to, hold on and don't let go no matter what.
