Testimonies of Healing

For several years, I struggled with internal pain that was debilitating at times. I curtailed or gave up activities like cycling, hiking, or traveling because sitting or standing for long periods was difficult to do comfortably.

It’s incredibly reassuring to know that we are one with God, as taught and proved by Christ Jesus. Divinely loving, comforting thoughts of good from the one divine Mind naturally permeate our consciousness, even when we’re not fully awake to that oneness.

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.

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.

Years ago when I was making the transition between my work with a local dance company and a new career, I had a healing of an inflamed and swollen eye. Although I was no longer officially working for the company, they would sometimes ask me to come to rehearsals and give notes about what needed improvement.

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.

I woke up one  morning and thought, “Today’s the day we move home!” But I wasn’t happy like I should have been. I was sad.
