Happy 1 Year Anniversary-A Day To Remember

I just walked up to our hotel room here at our Every Nation GO Conference from attending our Ladies's Luncheon. It was amazing. Our pastor's wife, Mrs. Debbie Austin, spoke and she always brings such an amazing word. She is a woman who has overcome many obstacles to be in the place where God has set her. Just really an amazing testimony.

It's been an incredible week and we still have a couple of days left of the conference but I had to stop long enough to celebrate this day, a day to truly remember. Today, one year ago, is when Chad and I believe that God completely healed me of MS. Today, one year ago, was the day my doctors called and told me to get off of the ms drugs because they were hurting me and not helping me. Today, one year ago, I no longer had to stick myself with needles and be in bondage to a disease. Today, one year ago, I no longer doubted that God is truly who He says He is. Today, one year ago, my miracle happened and restoration in my body began.

As I continue on this incredible journey of restoration, I continue to see God move in powerful ways. My journey isn't finished yet when it comes to fighting for the battle for my mind and my body to function the way it's supposed to. But one of the many powerful promises of God that I continue to stand on is found in John 8:36 which says, " If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed."

Nicely put! There you have it! No ifs, ands or buts...if Jesus has set me free, which He has, then I am free. He doesn't go back on His Word. Isaiah 55:11, "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but is shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."

Chad and I cannot enter into a place ever again of doubt that God healed my body. The reason, because we walk by the Spirit and not by the flesh. The Word of God is living and active and therefore is the driving force behind every thought and action. So it doesn't matter what I feel or see. It only matters what God says. I am recovering and will continue to. 

I think it no coincidence that I am attending a conference this week with the theme of GO. Over the last 8 years it's been nothing but STOP. Over this last year, God has let me GO and keep going and going and going. He is so faithful, He is so good, He is so powerful and I continue to cling to Him so that nothing can shake me. 

So, Happy 1 Year Anniversary to me and many more to come! Thank you for praying and continuing to build us up and encourage us through our journey. Each of you are a vital part of this process and we thank God for all of you.
