Believe.

BELIEVE.

Sometimes I truly wonder if we realize how much
we are actually capable of as Christians...

If we only believe...
ALL THINGS are possible if we only believe.

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying,
Fear not, BELIEVE only, and she shall be made whole.
Luke 8:50


I'm going to pray our Lord will guide me through this post.. Mostly because I've sat down at this blog for almost a week.. and no thoughts came.

But I feel like I should write now...

On Tuesday evening,
Jeremy came home from work.. I'd been feeling crummy all day long.. just aching and I thought it was allergies.. No biggie.

After deciding we were going to grab something to eat out, I stood at my ironing board ..
ironing his shirt..
and suddenly my world began to spin.
Everything went blurry.
I grabbed the tip of the board..
and a cold sweat broke out all over me...

Fear gripped my heart.
Flashes of hospital rooms entered my mind.
It couldn't be.
Not that.

Isn't it amazing how you have a traumatic situation in your life..
and the devil CONSTANTLY brings it back to your memory anytime he possibly can?

Just to scare you?
Just to drag you down?

I lunged for the phone and dialed my Mom's cell..
"Mom, something is wrong with me."

In a worried tone my Mother assured me everything was ok
and I probably needed to check my blood pressure.

my blood pressure.
that.

I felt my heart sink.
I slowly pulled the dreaded dusty monitor out of a bottom
drawer wrapped it around my wrist..

High.
Very high.

At 13 years old.. Blood pressure nearly took my life when I had severe kidney issues..
At 22 years old, My little boy Jonah came three months early because of preeclampsia..
ALL blood pressure related.

But, for all of my dear friends and readers...
On May 11th, 2009 ..I had my most recent birthday...
And at 24 years old, I'm here to tell you all ..

God is going to heal me.
Because ... I believe He will.
And it won't be just partially.. it will be fully, completely
and He WILL get the glory.

I have no doubts that the grains of sand on that mountain are already falling..
falling..
slowly..
and this mountain shall be moved.

No matter what the doctors find.
No matter how high the numbers are.
The charts may not match up with my claim... yet.
But they will.

We all have our storms.
We all have our hard times.
We all have our tests.

And We all have a promise.

No matter who you are.. God knows your situation..

and..

"But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed."
Isaiah 53:5

I can remember leaving the hospital the last time...
with a victory in my soul.

... and I'm here to say.. once again victory is right up the road.

When David defeated Goliath..

It wasn't that he fought well.
But, that he believed well.

I'd appreciate your continued prayers...
God bless you all!
