My Journey

Part 1
I've been on a specific journey with the Lord for the last four years. Here's the story :)

Four years ago I was going to an amazing Spirit-filled Bible study. At that time my husband, Steve, was having tremors. He had been diagnosed with 'Essential Tremors', which is like Parkinson's but doesn't progress as debilitatingly as Parkinson's. His tremors were getting steadily worse, so the doctor relooked at a Parkinson's diagnosis. Wow! That was a scary few days waiting for test results. During that waiting time, I attended this Bible study. The topic that night was having faith in healing. I confessed to this group of about 15 ladies that we were awaiting a diagnosis of possible Parkinson's and that I didn't have to faith to think that it would be healed. The speaker stopped the study and had everyone gather around me and pray over me and through me for Steve. It was overwhelming, let me say, I had faith after that prayer that the Lord would heal him and we would be ok. As I was walking to the door to go home, one of the ladies pulled me aside and said that sometimes the Lord gives her words and He had that night. The Lord told her to tell me to 'look at his diet'. At the time we were eating the Standard American Diet which included a few trips to fast food for me and the kids and Steve ate out even more. I'd cook dinner most night, but with not much depth in thought to the full nutrition I was serving. So I tucked her words from the Lord into my mind and continued to the door and my car to drive home. The study was about 20 minutes from my house. As I was driving I was worshiping to my Christian station that I always listened to and clear as day, God said, "Eat my food." Goosebumps! So that night four years ago from today, God took my hand and led me down this road. Here I am 91 pounds down, Steve has very, very few tremors. Most days they are not detectable. During his worst times, he couldn't hardly get food to his mouth with out losing most of it and writing was futile. A couple of times that we voted, I'd have to fill in the ballot for him. The next election is a few months away and I'm sure he will be filling out his own ballot. I'll continue to share the work that God has done in me and our family, so stay tuned :)
