The Voice of Wisdom

By Kaetlyn Parker

   About three years ago, I went to a junior high camp at Odessa Hills Campground.  In case you don't know, I'm a type one diabetic, and as such, I need to keep my blood sugar in a rage of seventy to one hundred forty.  If my blood sugar gets lower than seventy, I usually get shaky and feel really loopy.  You can treat low blood sugars with juice or something else sugary.  If my blood sugar goes untreated, I could go lower and lower, and sink into a coma.  If left untreated then, you die.

     So one day at camp we were having our evening activity and I started to feel a little weird.  I checked my blood sugar and found out that it was slightly low at sixty-five.  I ate and apple and carried on with the fun.  At 10:00 P.M. we tumbled into our cabin.  We goofed off and had fun till almost lights out. Everyone started to turn in.  I was getting ready to go to sleep, when something in my head said "You need to check your blood sugar."  I ignored it for a while, until finally I just decided to check my blood and get it over with.  I checked my blood. It was at thirty-two.  If I had gone to sleep, I probably would have gone into a coma and died.  I truly believe that God saved my life.

“God will take care of you through all the day,

Shielding your footsteps, directing your way;

He is your Shepherd, Protector, and Guide,

Leading his children where still waters glide.

God will take care of you still to the end;

Oh, what a Father, Redeemer, and Friend!

Jesus will answer whenever you call;

He will take care of you, trust him for all.”
