Testimonies of Healing

In the fall of 2022 , I attended an event that took place on a beach. When a friend arrived whom I hadn’t seen in a few years, we embraced with a big hug.

Several years ago, I woke up one morning with excruciating pain around my hip area. Within minutes, I was completely paralyzed from the waist down.

In my early forties , I became pregnant with my third child. The pregnancy was joyous news.

After I experienced heavy bleeding following a positive pregnancy test, I made an appointment with a doctor to determine if I was still pregnant, as I thought I might have miscarried. I learned I was no longer pregnant, and the doctor, a fertility specialist, said I never would be again unless I put myself wholly under his care.

In 2016 my husband and I traveled to New Zealand for a series of work-related events and completed a four-city tour. On the closing night of the work events, a celebratory dinner was planned for all the participants and their family and friends.

One Sunday morning , I thought it would be fun to go for a run before church. As I was jogging down our steps, I was distracted by something in the street.

“ God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” ( II Timothy 1:7 ). This beautiful biblical passage became a living reality in my experience.

One afternoon in the middle of our son’s fourth-grade year in elementary school, I got a call from the nurse’s office to pick him up. He was feeling nauseous and his head hurt.

For several days I would suffer from acute stomach pain whenever I had something to eat. It didn’t matter what I’d eaten.

About a year ago , I noticed that an area in my abdomen was occasionally painful. I started praying to strengthen my conviction that only the qualities of God can develop within me.
