Hey everyone!
I want to tell you about how God has been working and polishing my trust and faith in him. In one of my last posts, I said that I would trust in God even though things may not be going well. On Thursday it was our activation day and God really put on my heart that I wasn’t fully trusting in him because I had a “plan B” for my varicose veins if God didn’t heal them. Plan B including looking at getting a surgery that fixed the veins. My plan was to look more into this path this weekend and see the pros and cons as to what this would look like. On Thursday morning, God showed me that trusting him doesn’t involve having him and a plan B. I decided that I would totally discard the idea of looking into that. God was solely who I would look to.
Gabe, one of the staff at the base, asked if there was anyone with a hurt knee that he should pray over. I raised my hand. Over the next few minutes, the whole squad prayed over my knee. After each prayer, I would jog around the room to see how my leg felt. Out of 10, my leg felt like a 4, then a 5, then a 3, and then a 1. After we finished, Elijah heard God tell him to pray over my leg and then I would run around the field and then we would do it again. For the first time ever, after running about the .2 of a mile, my leg didn’t hurt and the veins weren’t bulging like they would normally do.
God took all of the pain away from my leg and the veins have slowly gone down in how they used to bulge. This is not something that I did or something that is ‘Too good to be true’. God healed my leg. Every time I look at my leg wherever I am at, I remember how my leg used to be, but it is now less or gone. These last few days have encouraged me to be fully trusting and have no “plan B”. My only plan is depending on God.
