There are few times in my life where I can look back and remember being completely overwhelmed by the Lord’s love.
Today is one of those days
God is so good!
I was sitting in church, listening to the song that the worship team was singing. The lyrics went like this:
“You hear your children then, you hear your children now
You are the same God
You are the same God
You answered prayers back then and you will answer now
You are the same God
You are the same God
You were providing then, you are providing now
You are the same God
You are the same God
You moved in power then, you move in power now
You are the same God
You are the same God
You were a healer then, you are a healer now!
You are the same God
You are the same God
Chorus: Oh God, my God I need you,
Oh God I need you now,
How I need you now
Oh Rock of Ages, I’m standing on your faithfulness
On your faithfulness”
When I heard that first line of “you hear your children then”, I was feeling so grateful for a God that hears and knows my heart and my story. And the tears started rolling down my face. He had and has heard my prayers – no, my cries – for healing. And He has DONE IT!
The lyrics of that song (the ones I wrote above) grabbed ahold of my heart and I was overwhelmed.
Overwhelmed by God’s goodness and faithfulness to me
He has heard me, his daughter. He has heard my prayers. Prayers for providing when things didn’t make sense. Prayers for friendships. Prayers for healing.
God is so, SO good!!
Yesterday, January 24th, was one year of being officially diagnosed with PCOS. Wow. I can’t believe that. More tears… I cannot believe the amount of healing, hardship, and growth that this one year has brought. Thank you, Jesus!
My body has never been this healthy before – with how my hormones are functioning and the fuel I am giving my body.
There has been a lot of tears of frustration, annoyance, and grief. PCOS is not something you can fix. It is a lifelong health condition. But, I can see the healing. I can see the growth!
Healing is not linear, as much as I wish it was. Healing is a process and a journey that continues to go on and make you try different things. This journey is not over but the beginning has come to an end. I can truly look back on this past year (and the year before that) and say, that it was only through God, His healing, and the working of His people around me, that I have come out stronger and healthier – physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
So friends, Don’t stop praying – because God hears and He provides! Not always in the way we want, but I promise you, He does!
God is faithful, even when we stumble.
Growth, Grace, and Healing
