The Miracle Healer

 I just found my camera that I thought I lost on this trip to California with my

black pearl sisters.

(minus two)

It was a beautiful time..but I wasted a lot of it in my head, 

worried about River, his health and his heart.

I Just couldn't get all the noise out of my mind.

I remember being in the hotel giggling and talking story

with my girls when the phone rang,

tears on the other side,

I went in the bathroom, sat in the tub

 cried with him, and promised him the next flight home.

 I remember we walked along the pier, there was an evangelist 

shouting out praises to the Lord and claiming healing powers.

I watched as a lady from the audience claimed to be plagued with kidney stones,

she came to the stage, the man praised Jesus, and

Bam

She was healed.

(you can see the Miracle healer below)

I have learned a lot about healing this past few years.

I know that true healing comes only in the present moment.

All of the worrying in the world didn't fix River.

I have learned that healing is a choice,

backed by faith.

I have learned that each and every heartache

I have endured, was perfect for me.

Perfect.

Because it brought me to who I am today.

Someone I love dearly,

Just had the earth fall from beneath them.

And fall hard.

I wish I could wisk her away,

put her on a stage with a healing man

and Bam.

Heal her every wound.

But healing isn't quite so simple.

It takes faith in no ordinary man,

but a man who has experienced her grief first hand.

She won't find him on a stage by the beach,

she will find him in her heart,

on her knees.

And he might not take the hurt away.

but

He will make her strong.

He will make her stoic.

He will make her great.

And this I know for sure,

because my little boy with the sad heart

is now running throughout the neighborhood

with his Tom Sawyer Smile

convincing everyone to work for him.

ie: they mow the lawns,

he finds the work:)

And for this and many other miracles in my life

I thank my healer,

my Redeemer.

I love you dear one.
