Angels' Wings
I know it's been so long since I posted. There are many reasons why. I guess, one is that there have been so many things happening. Many things that I can't go into right now.. .but I wanted to share a quick encouragement that I received today. The short n sweet version is that I have had an ongoing battle with severe back pain for the last year. Off and on, depending on the day, things can be going really well and with one small, little movement- I can throw my back out and be flat for the rest of the day. The pain has been so intense. I am in a very in depth program including decompression on the DRX-9000... this machine is amazing! Physical Therapy, laser therapy, ART- Active Release Therapy, Kinesio taping, acupressure massage and the list goes on. All in all, I truly believe I am in the process of being healed. In the midst of the pain and frustration, I have felt Him near and I know this is being used for my good. I don't believe is in control of everything... but man! can He take something broken and make it beautiful- you bet! My heart is a perfect example of this fact. So all that to say that I woke up this morning and was greeted with an email from a very close friend. She felt a strong prompting to pray for me and as she did she recounts.... "As I began to pray I felt prompted to read Mark. I asked the Lord...where in Mark? He said Mark 2. It's the story of the paralyzed man, who is lowered down to Jesus by his 4 friends...and He saw THEIR faith. WOW...so cool! Then as I was praying I could see you laying down on your stomach and resting and could see this large angels wings gently moving back and forth over you and it seemed that our combined prayers were creating incense that drew the attention of heaven and brought the angel to move the incense more quickly toward heaven. Standing with you for your complete healing in Jesus Name!" When I read this, I instantly heard the melody to " Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place, I can see His mighty power and His grace. I can fell the brush of angels wings, I see glory on each face. Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place".... I starting to hmm the tune it was as if a peace fell over me. I layed back down in bed for a few minutes to let it all sink in. Yes Lord, I receive your healing touch. I know You will heal me. He is my Peace.
Isn't just amazing to think of how the creator of Heaven and earth is wanting to talk to us and we get so busy we don't stop to listen at times. This email couldn't have come at a better time. The amazing part... coincidentally.. which by the way Oscar has a t-shirt that says"Coincidence is God choosing to remain anonymous"... anyway I have been reading Bella the bedtime story about the guy who was lowered through the roof and received healing AND last night at the approx. time that she was praying, I fell asleep on my stomach and had such a restful sleep- 11 hrs of sleep to be exact! The pain has decreased... it's still there but the relief I felt today prepped me for a very important appointment: my photo shoot with Cassandra. I have been feeling the prompt for months to take another step in preparation for ministry opportunities and I have honestly been busy and yet another part of me has tried to ignore it. There are such huge dreams in my heart and the thought of truly getting up and walking towards them is very intimidating... but a few weeks ago, I felt the nudge again and then a few days later it was like a pulling inside me. My mind says" but Lord.... but Lord,, but this, but that. All He desires from us is the YES. Where He guides- He provides. So tonight I met with Cassandra and we snapped a few pics some 236 I think in total! It was such a blessing to be with her as we captured different moments and in between pictures being snapped we were able to share heart to hearts stories. Tonight was a huge step of faith, but I have a huge sense of peace after stepping out. A proud Pappa can see I took another step towards it and I can feel His pleasure.** Big sigh*** it feels really good. I'm ready for another restful night. Goodnight.
