So the rheumy's nurse called-
she said that my sed rate is up- which shows an inflammatory process going on ( Arthritis, lupus, etc.) and that if I won't take the Methotrexate, she wants me to try another type of pill.

I am depressed.
I'm going to go to church. I think I need some prayer time.

Have a great night MAYers,
Jo

Hope everyone is doing good....

I have to share this with you all- I have been battling myself, wondering if I should tell you all, for fear of you guys thinking I am a nut case. But I decided to share it with you, just because you have been there for me, praying and supporting me.

Last night- I wasn't going to go to church. I never do on Wednesday nights- it's just too tough of an ordeal, so I usually run Mary Cat and drop her off- we are about a mile form the church so it's easy.

At 5 o'clock the phone rang and it was Mark. He asked what was wrong and I told him what the Rheumy had said. He was upset and talking to me about it- and then after a bit he told me he couldn't come home immediately, that he had some clients in from out of town and it was a last minute dinner put together by his boss. But he said he would beg out if I needed him to come home. So I said no, not to worry- and then out of my mouth came the words "I am going to go to church."

Don't know why I said it- never been to this church on a Wednesday night. Don't know what made me say it. The kids were surprised when I told them. That's when I posted my last post last night. Off we went, through the rain, into the service.

The music was wonderful- I could feel God's presence lifting my spirit and making me feel emotionally better. Then one of the associate pastors came up and said - "we usually don't do this, but I have it in my heart to pray for some people. If what I am getting ready to say pertains to you, please come down front, we want to pray for you." So he said "Anyone with tendonitis- in the right hip, anyone with problems in their right ear, anyone with issues in their right elbow, come down. We are going to pray for healing for you."

So I said, praying to myself " Well, God, I guess that's not me." and I kept praying, happy to be feeling so much better, emotionally.

After a few minutes of the minister praying for those down front, he came back on stage and said (these are his exact words-) " I think in my life, I have only ever had this happen one other time. I do not ever do this- ( and then he turned and looked my way in the audience) and said "There is someone with an issue in their foot. There is a pain there. I want to pray for you as well. Come down, now."

Do you know I didn't move?

My feet were planted firmly on the ground and I was astounded. I said to myself, "Surely I didn't hear him right." and the longer I stood there, the more uncomfortable I got. There were three others down there getting prayed for, and I was trying to rationalize this whole situation in my head. Finally, I felt like God pressed upon me "Come and get your healing." And so I walked down there.

Boy, how hard was that. All eyes on me. The minister was finishing up praying for the last person, and he turned and looked at me and the look that he gave me was indescribeable. It was like he looked at me and said "yes. This is the one. What took you so long??".

I guess I didn't get the message when he first started saying the right side... all of my pain is in my right side joints.... in the tendons. Duh me.

He reached down, never saying a word to me and held my foot, praying. Now the music was still being performed. I couldn't hear what he said. But I felt it.

This immense, burning, tingling warmth settled in my foot and after a few moments of him praying, he finished and I was walking back to my seat, tears flowing. as I took my first step, I realized something. IT DIDN"T HURT.

For the first time in almost 8 months, every step I took did not feel like I was walking on rocks.

All through his sermon, (which was on faith and healing, by the way), my foot tingled, and was warm.

When it was over and Mary Cat came out of her service, she looked at me funny and said 'mom, is your foot okay?" and I couldn't even say anything but "yes, it is."

This morning, the swelling is down. The foot looks like a healthy, pink foot. I got out of bed this morning, expecting the pain to hit me like it has for the past 7 months. one step...no pain. Down the stairs...no pain.

All morning- I have felt like I did a year ago. And that tingling? Still there. Warmth like I have never felt. Like a warm compress being held there.

I have never experienced anything in my life like I did last night. Never.
I have prayed for many things in my life,( including the healing of my Father), that have never come to fruition.

I don't know why God moves when He does, but all I have to say is that I am thanking Him this morning for this blessing He has given to me.

Thanks for all of your prayers and care and support. They mean the world to me.

Please don't think I have lost it with this post. I am trying to share with you of the goodness and faithfulness of God.

He is wonderful indeed.

Jo, this brought me to tears and chills down my spine. Oh my. I am glad you are feeling better today. I honestly am lost for words. but WOW

 

[mari360]

My Jo - I am in tears after this post. I'm SO HAPPY that your foot feels better. The lord works in miraculous ways and with faith in him we can get through the day. I do not think you are any crazier then i thought yesterday But I am so happy that you decided to go to church yesterday.

I have been crying all morning.

Not a bad cry-
a joyful, happy cry.

I have been blessed, and I do not deserve any of it at all.

What a blessing to receive at this Easter.

Jo

If Mark had come home when he normally does, i would never have gone to church last night.

It is amazing how God moves and makes circumstances fall into place.

And that the Associate pastor was there last night, not our regualar pastor- and he felt he needed to pray for those that were sick.

I have never spoken to anyone in this church- I slip in and then out without ever speaking to a pastor-
so I know that no one knew of my issue.
It was totally God.

Jo

 

[mari360]

WOW..... God makes miracles happen when you least expect it. He knows you are a woman with a good heart.

 

[JoBird]

Mark was completely astounded, much as I was.

He looked at my foot this morning and said "the swelling has gone way down- look at that."

He says he wishes he could have been there with me.



Thirty years old... welcome to the club, my dearie!

Uh, I mean, you're older than me- I'm only 29.
