I had a steroid injection into my spine. It was my second and I went in assuming that all would be well just as it was the first time which gave me 4 months of relief.
The procedure went awry everything went downhill from there. I did not understand as I prayed throughout it. I still trusted God for His reasons.
By mid-afternoon I felt awful and thoughts of a stroke loomed and caused further anxiety which took my eyes off of God.
Early evening I gave in and Du took us to the local ER... I was sent into “the big room” where I was inundated with people, needles, and that life sucking blood pressure cuff.
Cocktails of pharmaceuticals were injected into me, cat scan was administered, and there was nothing they could do to administer a patch to my spine to relieve the possible leaked spinal fluid and sent me to the St Cloud Hospital to a waiting hospital room… the anxiety was now 16 hours long, my bp plummeted and I feared going into a coma… they asked if I would like to see the chaplain. I said YES!
Their plans were to put the spine patch in me and that the precautions after would keep me there longer, I trusted God. I slept. And when Rev Mark arrived I immediately sensed GOOD!
My symptoms were now quickly subsiding as we had visited. Then I knew why I was allowed to be ill - to bless and to be blessed! To encourage and to be encouraged!
This was definitely a two way blessing. I had a message from God for Him. He had a message from God for me.
As we talked, he shared that he sensed I needed increased divine protection. I agreed. The evil one has been harassing me more than normal of late and God knew I needed backup.
He anointed my head with oil and prayer. The four of us; God, Rev. Mark, Du and I prayed. I felt anointed. I felt the anointing oil seep into my being. I was restored. Thank you Jesus. I was able to leave a few hours later, patch free. All things for a reason.
He gifted me with a copy of his book and its absolutely wonderful! It is his story of aligning himself with Gods will and experiencing the depth of Jesus’ love.
AND THEN!! my message to the Chaplain? The piece called Ezekiels Gates. We delivered the original to the him and it was well received. Even chaplains need reassurance that their work makes a difference especially ministering to the sick and dying on a daily basis.
Due to what he saw in the photos from my phone, he put me in contact with the committee that displays the art in the hallways of this large hospital.
UPDATE! The head of the committee called! We are in discussions and this I know! God will have His way!
If one piece helps one who helps thousands upon thousands, then to me… I am in alignment with my Father, my Creator, my Master Artist.
