Three years ago a new friend and I were having a casual discussion about different religions. She mentioned that she had grown up in the Christian Science faith, and that she had witnessed some amazing healings, accomplished entirely through prayer.
As soon as I was alone, I spent some time pondering this woman’s words. I was no longer thinking about religion, I was thinking about a healing that I had been desperately seeking for seven years. At the time, I was suffering from a serious autoimmune disease that resulted from an extended exposure to a high concentration of black mold. I had been unaware of its existence in my home for some time.
The illness dictated every aspect of my life. I couldn’t think clearly, and I was continually plagued by dizziness and extreme fatigue, as well as other alarming symptoms. Consequently, there were times when I was afraid to drive. Being a single parent, our active family lifestyle became greatly restricted as a result of my health-related limitations.
