Happy July 16, 2016 to all my Blogging Friends, from me right here in the Mustang Library. I was going to do some serious reading but got bogged down with Walmart Shoppers pictures. Result: Lost serious reading e-mail time! Anyway I am here. My Facebook from July in 2014 stirred my heart to thankfulness again. So glad to be living-hampered only by crashed computer. None of my real parts has crashed! Anyway I decided to share what I had written on that day. Rejoice with me! 😀 😀
“DID GOD REALLY SAY…?” scoffed the serpent to Eve’s listening ear. And how quickly she let the seed of doubt grow in her spirit. Perhaps she mentally rationalized, “Maybe I didn’t hear right; what he said might not be what he meant. I’ll give it some thought.” I am aghast to recognize the same doubt residing in me. Recently a person with medical status said to me, “You could not have had an aorta dissection. If you had, you would be dead.” He repeated the statement about three times as I told him that that was the reason I was being so thankful to the Lord. In my mind I began to think, “Did I get something all mixed up?” I sure thought that’s what the doctor said. Carl, Karen, and Verna (all first hand witnesses) said, “You certainly did have an aorta dissection.” And they all confirmed that a miracle or near-miracle had occurred. I STILL got home and pulled out my medical records. They say: “The patient was taken to the cath lab, intubated, and placed on pressors. Cardiac cath revealed an aortic dissection with severe wide-open aortic valvular insufficiency…” Under diagnosis, it says: “Type l aortic valvular dissection, severe aortic valvular insufficiency, and acute heart failure.”
In all the years I was trusting God for a miracle healing, I refused to heed those who told me that God might take someone through the medical system to prove scientifically that healing had occurred. I would never have dreamed I would check the medical papers MYSELF to confirm God’s healing to me!
You had an extraordinary experience, for sure. Just today, on NPR, I listened to Tom Bodett tell the story of the time he died. (Lesson: don’t reconnect 30K volt electricity with your bare hands.) Since he was telling the story, he clearly came back. Still, t does take a lifetime to unpack and understand such experiences — and maybe that isn’t enough time.
Nice so see you, hale and hearty!
So much we take for granted. Glad to be here at the same time you are on. And glad I got off “Walmart Shoppers” in time to find some friends who care. I’m into my e-mail big time. I think I have an hour of time left. Hope so.
Enjoy it! Good to see you.
This reminder of your experience inspires us all. We can only live, journey on and accept by faith some of the events that are all about God. When He said ‘Peace’ and I was bleeding from the throat after major surgery. I heard it and the whole room felt it. The medical records here say. Haemorrhage – calm, peace, lack of ‘stress’ Room filled with PEACE. Patient recovered. Praise God! Following Him through life……..He is the God of the miraculous and the supernatural that’s why he is Father, Son and Spirit. Awesome God! Love being ‘connected’ with your life and writing. Thanks.
So thankful for those who give God the glory due him.
Every minute is a gift, for sure.
Yes, and so often taken without thought of the treasure we are given.
Satan is a liar and the father of lies, to be sure. He will try to instill doubt any way he can!
But each overcoming experience is a victory in his face! Through Jesus the Victor. Amen!.
Praise God! Miracles like this remind me of John 9:3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.”
Thank you, Debbie L, for sharing my joy.
