My Reason

My sweet Elijah has used every wish, every prayer, every day to ask for my complete healing. I knew in 2008 because God told me when I first started getting really sick that things were going to get much worse but He would heal me only when His timing is right and He receives the glory for my healing. For those of you that do not know, I have Idiopathic Gastroparesis caused by a genetic condition known as Autonomic Dysfunction. I am currently on IV nutrition through a central line and on several medications. I had a gastric pacer implanted in 2010 to alleviate some of my symptoms and it worked well for 6 months but my nerves quit responding and I finally had it removed this January. In other words it did get much worse. I start this blog now because I know God will not let my baby's faith die.

Healing is for Everyone!

My story is long and pretty amazing, but I have to say I always knew it was never about me. God showed me throughout my trial that He was always there, moving, working, using me. I haven't written on here in a long time. It will be 4 years this June since God healed me. I have to say since then a whole lot of life has happened but a whole lot of waiting has happened as well. But with everything going on in this mad world today I felt the need to share a ray of sunshine. Many people of very strong faith asked me why it took so long for God to heal me. Was my faith not strong enough? Was I doing something wrong? The truth is God's timing is always perfect. Even when we may not understand. He created my story from beginning to end and though He has yet to show me everything, probably because He knows me well enough to know I would try to make it happen my way, He fills me with such love and hope and strength. When Jesus walked on this earth He healed everyone who came to Him with simple faith, the faith of a child. Think about that for a moment. When a child is born, they are completely helpless. They have to have faith that their needs will be met. I know many children learn the cruelty of this world way too soon, but even children in the most dire circumstances have a faith stronger than many devout Christians. I understand this is a scary time and the things going on in the world are completely out of our control. But that is where the #faithofachild comes in. Because when we know that God is in complete control then we know there is nothing to fear. We can also know that if we come to Him with that simple faith He will meet us where our needs are, heal our diseases, our hearts, and our minds. I pray He fills you all with the #faithofachild  and that we see something far greater than we ever could have imagined come from this trial!
