I GOT IT!!!

For anyone that has been following my blog, you know the one thing I've been hoping to get for about 2 years now. Anyone care to guess what I'm talking about?????????
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Give up yet?

Well...I GOT IT!!!! 

Because of the rashes that had begun to form, admittedly I was getting discouraged. When the joint pain ensued, forget about discouraged, you know I was just A MESS! 

BUT GOD!!!!

I went to the doctor last Thursday for her to look at my rash and to take whatever blood she wanted to take...SHE TOOK ALL OF IT! Ok, not all of it, but she tested my kidneys, liver, heart, rheumatoid, SED rate; you name it, she checked it. Oh, I'm not sure if I told you but besides the rash that was growing on my right leg, a cluster of rashes formed on my left leg...yup!

Well, I GOT IT!!!!

I received not one confirmation, but 2 confirmations of what I've been waiting for. You still wondering what I'm talking about?

Side note - thank you for all of your prayers, concerns, prayers, encouragement, prayers, and just for being you...did I mention thank you for your prayers? 

GOD IS FAITHFUL!

So back to today...I received not 1 confirmation but 2 confirmations of what I've been anticipating for about 2 years. YOU STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? OR DO YOU KNOW, AND YOU JUST WANT ME TO CONFIRM WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW?!

Ok, ok, ok...the doctor's blood work confirmed today that I HAVE A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH...

  • NO SIGN OF RHEUMATOID ISSUES OF ANY KIND (this was elevated at one time)
  • NO SIGN OF KIDNEY, LIVER, HEART TROUBLE OF ANY KIND
  • SED RATE IS NORMAL (which verifies the level of inflammation- this was very elevated at one time)
Now of course as I'm typing this, it just dawned on me that autoimmune disease wasn't checked (you know...Satan is so cunning...DUH!!! They look for autoimmune disease AFTER they get elevated levels in the above tests as well as the below test...)
  • ANA TEST IS NORMAL (when this is abnormal, they look deeper to see if there's an autoimmune disease (see Satan...smh)
If you still don't understand what any of this means, it means that I AM HEALED!!!!!! 

This is the paper proof that I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!

I AM HEALED!

See, it was revealed to me sometime last week that Satan threw a "monkey wrench" as my mother-in-law calls it, because God was on the verge of RESTORATION and BLESSINGS!  What better way to keep your mind off-track and to make you not be grateful when God moves, then to keep your mind occupied on STUFF?!

I received a phone call last Friday that I was offered a supervisory position with my job...now, I don't have a supervisory certificate the first but as God would have it, they took this requirement out as not to limit the pool of candidates, which opened the door right up for me. YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT GOD WON'T DO EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE ALL WE CAN ASK OR THINK!  I will share my full testimony about this occurrence in person at another point in time.

AIN'T GOD GOOD???

WON'T HE DO IT????

Whatever catch phrase you know, go ahead and say it.

What did I say in my last blog entry? 
I AM AN OVERCOMER, GOD BROUGHT ME THROUGH!

YES HE DID!

And guess what...He ain't through with me yet so please don't stop praying, because that means that Satan ain't through with me yet either.

BUT I BELIEVE GOD!

Ephesians 3:20-21

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

I AM an OVERCOMER

As I sit here typing this blog, I am reminded of the pain and agony that God has already delivered me from physically. June of 2011 through May of 2012 was indeed the hardest time physically for me, BUT GOD BROUGHT ME THROUGH...HE ALLOWED ME TO OVERCOME. 

I must remind myself of this fact as the rash on my right leg triples in size, my ankles once again swell, the joints in my hands and ankles ache, and as more rashes appear on my left leg. I AM AN OVERCOMER, AND GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH. 

I must remind myself that it doesn't matter what it looks like, it doesn't matter how I feel, it doesn't matter what the blood work shows, it doesn't even matter what I hear myself say...I AM AN OVERCOMER, AND GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH.

One of the things that I worry about the most is God getting His glory; I don't want anything or anyone to tarnish the fact that on December 25, 2011, God, in a still, small voice said to me, " if you want your healing, stand up." This statement didn't make sense because at the time I could barely move; it hurt to clap my hands, it hurt to stand BUT I STOOD UP ON FAITH...I AM AN OVERCOMER, GOD BROUGHT ME THROUGH.

On that day I was able to stand, clap, walk, and jump, AFTER I STOOD UP IN FAITH.

Now the pain returned  the next day, and I once again was unable to walk or stand for long periods of time, but on May 31, 2012, I stopped taking all of my medications cold turkey, and once again STOOD UP ON FAITH. Through detoxing and much prayer AND FAITH, I OVERCAME, GOD BROUGHT ME THROUGH.

I was once again able to live life better than I had ever remembered living it before - no pain, no rashes, no swelling; looking and feeling GREAT! I HAD OVERCOME! GOD HAD BROUGHT ME THROUGH!

So, maybe God is calling me to once again stand up on faith...recognizing NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, AND THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN (Hebrews 11:1).  I don't care what it looks like or how things appear to be, I AM AN OVERCOMER, AND GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH...again!

God revealed to me sometime ago that our greatest blessing sometimes comes in the midst or after our greatest obstacle. I KNOW that my Greater is coming and that this obstacle is going to bear a great blessing.

I AM AN OVERCOMER, AND GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH.

So with that being said, I am going to stand on God's Word, stand on His Promises, and believe what He told me.

I AM AN OVERCOMER, GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH.

I AM AN OVERCOMER, GOD HAS BROUGHT ME THROUGH.

He didn't bring me this far to leave me...

Say it with me now...I AM AN OVERCOMER, GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH.

Be blessed
