The metaphor of winter becoming spring and the changes brought by healing prayer has been the perfect one for my life this year. My fall and winter brought many exams and tests and the diagnosis of several conditions that required disciplined therapy, both medical and physical. And at the same time my child was being dealt blow after blow with his health being threatened. All the while, as I prayed Lord heal me, He was answering, “I am healing you to be able to do what I have called you to do”. I GOT THE META MESSAGE>THIS WASN’T FOR ME ! It is and always will be all for HIM. My life of pain-free ease in exchange for His life in me.
For me the “to do” answer was to finally finish the book which was 7 years in the making and is the backbone to this blog: “From Woodstock Up to Jerusalem” Following the Guideposts to healing and Fullness in Christ. The birthing was a bit of a struggle, but joy comes in the morning and I can now release that effort to the world,( or maybe one or two seeking souls who stumble across it.)
How then, do I know His will for and in me, you might well ask. “Ask and keep on asking, knock and the door will be opened”, “if you lack wisdom, ask for it”, You have, We have the mind of Christ, so USE IT!
