I am very happy for this young lady.
I am encouraged by who she thanked for her recovery.
Some may think that her recovery was random, but maybe it was not random ?
QuoteI have put my trust in God...and my medical team
That's what's known as hedging your bets.
If I was religious and sick, I would not seek help from a medical team or doctor
because I would believe that that was God's will and I would be honored that HE wants me next to him so soon
I would be looking forward to dye so that I can be with God in 'Heaven' as soon as possible

Hedge your bets
Betting and luck
Meaning
To avoid committing oneself; to leave a means of retreat open.
I have just one question.
What if you are wrong ?

I had my closest brother die at my mom's house.
He was a Navy Seal and my best friend.
When my mom told me, I decided not to see him dead in his room.
My mom said that Brian had a smile on his face.

Habran,
You have a lot of wisdom. :-)
I think I can relate to your feelings.
I used to pray to live to 120 years.
I stopped praying for that.
But with constant physical pain, I am happy leaving this life when God want's me too.
Thanks,
Andy
Fortunately for me I am not religious and when my life becomes to painful I will stop it painlessly
I don't have to wait someones decision to take it from me or not, I am the master of it
I am not afraid to dye any moment
what I am afraid of is to be unable to stop my life when it becomes unbearable
I wish that euthanasia becomes legal, than I would not be afraid of anything
However, it would not help you because you would not accept it out of fright that you would finish in hell
I feel really sorry for you because I am certain that you were taught to be religious when you were a child
I wish that religion was not given to children until they grow up, same as drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, weapons...

It's all God's will, live or die, isn't it? How could you go wrong?
Surely a True Believer wouldn't have added "and my medical team".
Ok,if god protects you from Ebola,then why are you at times so upset if I smoke around you,would not GOD protect you from second hand smoke....Just wondering..I mean if God can handle Ebola what is a little smoke.

I feel that God made that medical team but I have no desire to get you to believe it.
Just my beliefs, I acknowledge your beliefs even if they differ widely.

You have never smoked around me, so not sure what you mean.
