Life Lessons - Over the Hills and Thru the Valleys!

Background - Faith

I have been told that i am a strong believer. that i have alot of faith. If you go back to Life Lesson Shaken in Faith, you will find that i have my set backs just like anyone else. And as you read in Life Lesson Faith, you see where i get my strength - the Word of God!

I have had my share of times of shaken faith. Not just what is listed in this little book. What i am not sure of is exactly when was my first test.

 When my daddy was lying in the hospital, I prayed for God to either get him up off that bed or take him on home. Either way, my daddy would not have liked his life laying on that bed or unable to remember the way things were. So, daddy got saved on that bed before he started reliving his childhood. God took him on home while daddy still had his heart right. And for that, I am grateful .

When my sons' first father passed away, God made sure i had a loving family to support he and I for as long as they were needed. For that, i am grateful.

But, i guess my first real trial was when they told me my son ( Background: My son Kenny - Life Lesson 5 -  Healing) could possibly die during the night. I knew he was all i had left of his dad. I knew i didnt want to live without my precious baby. And i knew there was a healing, loving God. So i prayed. I anointed my son, and I prayed. I begged. I was 15 and felt entirely alone even tho i wasnt. i felt like it was just me and him against the world. The next morning, the dr gave the clear and it was done! God had intervened.

Second time: When my baby girl was born with a severe heart murmur. (background: Healing Story 2) By 6 months, the drs thought she would need surgery. Her biological dad held her in his arms and prayed to the Living God. She was healed instantly.

Third time: My battle with precancerous cells. At the age of 25, they froze my cervix and said they removed all the cells. By the age of 38, i had a cyst the size of a four month fetus. By the age of 46, they done a complete hysterectomy. Praise the Lord! No more cancer!!

Fourth time: Background- My Dooley- He was involved in several wrecks and was a wild child when i met him. But once, he wrecked his motorcycle and faced the possibility of losing a kidney. He had a hole in it and the drs said they would not be able to save it. That night, i took some KY Jelly and prayed over it. (side note: if you dont have holy oil or water, find something to pray and bless and use it!) I anointed his kidney every hour, on the hour. The next morning, the drs said they were going to try to patch the kidney. if the patch worked, he would only lose 15% of his kidney. The patch worked. He lived the remainder of his life with 1 full and 1 85% kidneys! Praise the Lord.

Fifth time: I stood beside my oldest daughter's bed, twice, she died on me. All i could do is scream her name! All my mother could do was scream "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!" First time, her blood pressure rose back to normal. Second time, the convulsions stopped. God, once again, intervened!

These are the ones that stick out of my mind the most. There are more. God has never left me or forsaken me. and He wont you either! He is an on time God! He is a faithful God. He is all knowing! and has all power in Heaven and Earth. He created you and knows how your body is suppose to function. All He asks is to love Him and serve Him with all your being!
