HEALING
praying this way I felt God show me a
very specific goal I needed to set:
To sign up for a 10k mini marathon!
It was the craziest goal ever but I
decided I was just going to trust God,
so I signed up...
Meanwhile our church held a
worship service. I stumbled down the
aisle on my walking frame to the
disabled seat, closed my eyes and
began praising God. As I did, an
amazing energy filled me, which
really stood out, because when you
have M.E. you have no energy at all.
Eight months later I was prayed for in
church and I got up out of my
wheelchair and walked. I could
hardly believe what was happening.
It truly was a miracle.
I wasn’t fully healed that day but it
was a massive step forwards. From
that point, I was strong enough to
walk with a walking frame, and it was
on that walking frame that I
stumbled down the aisle to a worship
service at our church.
From that point I was able to use a
walking frame...each day I would
walk lengths of the bedroom on it,
praying with each step that God
would give me the strength to do
another length. One day as I was
Without stopping to think, I pushed
my walking frame away and began to
dance. Steve couldn’t believe what
he was seeing! He took my hand and
the two of us danced together again,
just like I’d always imagined we
would. I felt so alive and so free. It
was amazing.
Then, as I left the church, a strange
thing happened. All of the energy
drained away and I was back to using
the walking frame again. But God had
given a glimpse of the very dream of
my heart, so I made a decision that I
would just keep trusting him,
because there had to be more to
come.
It was the craziest goal
ever but I decided I was
just going to trust God, so
I signed up...
