And my GOD is a HEALER

Looking back to my last semester at Howard University, I often cringe.  All my life I had been an A student until the end of sophomore year.  I didn’t understand what was going on.  I just remember not being able to focus.  I was easily irritated.  I was depressed and found myself wanting to hide in the dark and under my computer desk.  I hardly ever missed classes but I did nothing but doodle on paper while in the classroom.  One thing I did do was stay in church.  I found myself a great church home and it was the one place I felt peace, the one place I could really feel as if I had worth.  I don’t even remember taking final exams that year.  I hopped on a plane, leaving majority of my things in DC.  When I arrived to KY, my family couldn’t even recognize me because of the 40 lbs I had dropped in less than a month.  After being forced to see a doctor I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism and put on medication.  For four years I went back and forth with this disease.  It ate me up.  I gained weight and lost weight.  There were times I felt so alone even with the wonderful family I had supporting me.  After leaving a job in the summer of 2008, I no longer had health insurance.  I had enough pills to get me through the November 13th.  I was at my brother’s house in MS and kept stressing how if I didn’t take my medication, something would go wrong.  I’d be difficult to live with, due to the disease effecting my hormone levels.  My brother had no stress.  After church one night the Pastor called me up to speak to he and his wife.  They laid hands on me and prayed for God’s healing.  At that point I felt a big lump in my throat and swallowed.  I knew then the Lord had healed me.  I had no more medication left and just kept praying and thanking the Lord for his healing.  So, in order for me to go on the World Race, my doctor found it important to check my thyroid levels.  Mind you, I haven’t been to the doctor since before summer of 2008.  My doctor made me get a blood test to check my TSH levels.  Today I received a letter from my doctor and it said,
TSH LEVELS: NORMAL. 

Talk about dancing, I was dancing once again.  God is so good and I can’t praise him enough.
