- The light buld has finally come on - Monday, March 26, 2007 I thought I would share the testimony that I shared last night in church. A couple of weeks ago some got a "panic email" from me. I was dire need of prayer. I didn't go into detail to anyone about what the need was. God knew and I didn't need anyone making a big deal out of it so I just left it as a dire need of prayer type thing. I think what was happening was my body had hit it's exhaustion level and the stress was still building up. I wasn't sleeping enough though I knew I needed to sleep. I couldn't fall asleep because I felt there was a hundred million other things that I needed to do instead of sleep. I have a type of amenia that causes me not be digest my food and get very sick. I was experiencing all of the symptoms of that, but there was something new through into the mix that I wasn't expecting and it scared me. I have having serve chest pains and I couldn't breathe. I felt like the walls were closing in on me and I was slowly smoothing to death. I would have periods where my heart rate would raise and it felt like my heart was going to burst then I would have the pain and shortness of breathe. This went on for about two weeks. It was getting scared because the pain was getting worse. It seemed all I could do is pray and put a smile on my face in order to get through the day. It was the theory if I don't pay any attention to the problem it will go away, but it kept getting worse. At that point all I could do is pray. I finally told God He would have to do something because I couldn't continue. In the past two weeks God has worked in so many way. I had went for two weeks with no chest pains. So, during the testimony service last night I told what God had done. I kinda took my life into my own hands because I had not said anything about this to anyone and had not ask my local church to pay, which I should have done. I'm still learning not to hide behind the smile all the time. So, after I had testified and sat back down the pain hit full force and worse. I couldn't not get into the service and it was one of those service that you didn't mind staying at church all night. God was moving and doing wonderful things, but the pain was so intense I couldn't get to the point I could worship. It came to a point that I had to sit down and hold my my chest because the pain was so bad. Brother Anders and Michele saw me sit at about the same time so they started praying and it seemed like we prayed and prayed and the pain would not go. Finally, I had some relief, but once I got home the pain had returned and is still here this morning. I really do think it is my body reacting to many stressful situations over the past three months. So, I am trusting God for complete healing! He is so good. Later.
