He healed my body!! I had a scare this past weekend with severe pain in my lower back/abdominal region and my pelvic area. The pelvic pain started the Tuesday before this past weekend and lasted four days and then the back/abdominal pain came late Saturday night. By Sunday, it was really bad and I went to the walk-in clinic at our doctor's office. The doctor thought it may be appendicitis and if the pain got worse, I had to go to the ER right away and they don't take any chances - they just open you up and take out your appendix. She also thought maybe it could be cysts or complications with polyps in my colon I had a few years ago.
I kept asking God........why!? why!? why!? It seems that my whole life has been one crazy medical issue after another and I didn't understand why my youth had to spent in such a way. I guess I started feeling sorry myself lol. Then I thought, as I have many times, that maybe God is judging me or something from something I did in the past. That is the devil though - he loves to make us feel like we deserve illness and disease. I was pretty down. So I started reminding myself of all the MANY times God has healed me and all the things He has blessed me with and I started praising God!
I wasn't going to church that Sunday night, if anything I thought I was going to go to the ER to have my appendix removed because the pain had increased and I was nauseous. However, with about 20 minutes before we had to leave, I popped up out of bed and went to church. I was in pain as the service begin and then the Spirit of God started moving and others started shouting and dancing. I wanted to, I felt it but there was a nagging thought that if I did I might have the appendix rupture right there. Well, I told God that I was in His house and I'm in His hands!! I started dancing and praising God! Then after we sat down, the pain was pretty bad and the thought came that I shouldn't have done that. I kept shooting down these thoughts - satan - and trusting God.
At altar call, I prayed so hard and told God I wasn't letting go till He touched me! I felt God touch me!! The pain went away!! Then on the way out, my husband came up from the altar and said to me "Bev, God healed you!" I've never seen him so full of faith and there was no doubting in his words, he was telling me I was healed, thus saith the Lord. He told me he felt God touch me, even though he was at the altar and I was in my pew, he felt it and he knew. WOW!
On the way home, I started having pain again. I asked my husband why I was having pain, he told me just to keep having faith that God touched me and I did. Then on Tuesday, the pain got worse but I kept shooting down the doubts and praising God. I had my ultrasound yesterday and got the results today. Turns out, it wasn't appendicitis but it was a cyst on my ovary. However - the best news - the cyst had somehow collapsed recently!! I know when it collapsed - it collapsed Sunday night as I was praying and God touched me!! He did it!! Praise the Lord!!
So now, all is well and the doctor/nurse was excited too and said my pain should go away because the problem is gone. The only one not excited by this news is satan - he really wanted me down, he is trying to prevent my life and goals from happening but he can't stop God!! God is a healer and I'm sharing this with you all to encourage you in faith and to uplift the name of the Lord!!!

What I Believe
Quotes to Ponder
If you’re a friend to all and an enemy to none, then you’re leading no one. - Unknown
The objective in Christian homeschooling is not to teach children how to "deal with the real world." I do not want to teach my children how to merely survive this life. As believers in Christ, we are called to be overcomers! - HE magazine
The modest virgin, the prudent wife, and the careful matron, are much more serviceable in life than petticoated philosophers, blustering heroines, or virago queens. She who makes her husband and her children happy, who reclaims the one from vice and trains up the other to virtue, is a much greater character than ladies described in romances, whose whole occupation is to murder mankind with shafts from their quiver, or their eyes. - Oliver Goldsmith
Long ago I ceased to count heads. Truth is usually in the minority in this evil world. - Charles SpurgeonIn a time of universal deceit, telling the TRUTH, is a revolutionary act . -George Orwell
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. -Winston Churchill
It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
SECULARISM is a philosophy that claims that there is no God-or that if there is a God, He is irrelevant. HUMANISM essentially says that in the absence of God, humans can and should act as gods by judging, choosing, and defining what is right for themselves. The philosophy pervading the public education system combines these two philosophies into one.-Ken Ham
How can there be too many children? That’s like saying there are too many flowers. -Mother Teresa

If you take your children to Caesar for their education, you need to stop being surprised when they come home as Romans -Voddie Baucham
Christian mothers too often neglect their home-centered role for the empty promises of fulfillment in the workplace, while they warehouse their children in daycare centers. Parents send their children to secular schools where God is outlawed, and they allow them to watch trashy movies and listen to vile music—and hang out with those who do the same. After years of training in the ways of rebellion through godless schooling, debauched entertainment, and peer association, Christian parents are somehow surprised when their teenagers rebel, forsaking the God of their fathers.- Philip Lancaster
You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts. - Charles Spurgeon
“Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininty, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error….”-Tasha Tudor

The true defining situation for a person is what they do when they are alone and don't have to do anything else. What do they do? Do they do frivolous things? That's when you define what you are. -Kevin Rollins, former CEO of DELL
Fifty-nine modern nations are plagued by the high-tech benefits of birth-control pills. Each of them have waged a cultural war against babies. Each of them suffer below-replacement birthrates. Each of them face potential extinction. But concerns such as national suffering, dangerous international geopolitics and the disappearance of entire nations are matters that would require mature thinking – something that was successfully bred-out of the American people when they accepted the pill as, in the words of Hugh Hefner, the greatest invention of the 20th century. - Geoffrey Botkin
