A God Touched Day!
April 23, 2007
Psalms 34:19 (NLT) The righteous face many troubles, but the Lord rescues them from each and every one.
"WOW! Come and take a look for yourselves!" is what my neurosurgeon said to my family this afternoon. I would have not believed that "WOW!" would sound so great! That one word was music to my ears! When my wife, Nancy, and I joined my father, Ron, and my mother, Connie, in the X-Ray room were could understand why my doctor's smile was so big. God had done a marvelous work in my body.
Seven weeks ago, my doctor told me that there was swelling in the same place a malignant brain tumor had been last September. He even suggested another surgery on my brain to place chemotherapy wafers in the area. I asked him if we could have another few weeks to see if the swelling was truly an indication of the return of the cancer. He said the progress my brain had shown and the fact that I was in very good health (Thank you, Jesus!) would allow him to grant my request.
In last seven weeks we have asked many people to pray for me and the results of the MRI scheduled for today. I felt impressed by the Lord to have my Sunday School class pray for me and for healing in my body! We had only been to that class two times before. A step of faith was required in asking thirty people, most of whom I did not know, to pray for such a personal request.
I could feel the power of God as my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ prayed for me. I was sitting in a chair as they prayed and laid hands on me. I even remember someone had their hand around my ankle as they prayed.
I felt totally at peace as I went to have the MRI this morning. God blessed me with an awesome technician named Lezlie to do my MRI. She was so professional and even let me cough in between MRI pictures. (I have been battling a cold.)
Dad took me to lunch and I know he was nervous about the results of the MRI. We didn't talk much. When Mom and Nancy met us at the doctor's office, all that was left was to hear the results. After a lengthy wait , my doctor examined my physical motor skills and my speech. He left the room to go see the results of the MRI. My doctor returned just as I described earlier in this posting, smiling and happy! WOW!
What God showed us today is that an area around the rim of the cancerous tumor which had been questionable in the past was completely clean! (No need for surgery!) The space where the tumor was cut out of was smaller than in the last MRI and there was very little swelling. My God did a miraculous work of healing in my brain! I saw relief on the faces of Nancy, Mom and Dad. When the doctor left he asked me to keep doing what ever I have been doing. I told him it wasn't me doing anything....my God did all the work! He deserves all the glory for my wonderful report. Thank you, Lord God Almighty! I love you!
