Today has been a rough day. Last week my heart started racing every time I stood up. Pounding and racing so much that I have been getting a tad concerned. Richard has been quite a bit more than a tad concerned. He has done energy work on me each night when he gets home and it has helped, but it has still been racing. On Sunday my arms and legs all went numb for over an hour while he was gone to church and they have continued to go numb each time I lay down. So laying down I would have numb appendages and standing up my heart would pound and work so, so hard. I had no idea what to do help my body calm down. I called Jessica in a panic when my heart was racing and I was completely out of breath from a short walk up the stairs and she didn’t know what to make of it either. Today it went from 60 – 65 bpm laying down to 120 bpm standing up. My head would fill with pressure and my arms ached with the blood flow through them. It was absolutely bizarre. I stayed down for several hours this afternoon surmising that I had simply overdone it yesterday and needed to rest. But as soon as I got up this evening, my heart shot right back up to 120 bpm. I realized that there was no way I would be able to make it to iFamily tomorrow. No way I could fix this.

So I prayed.

Then I asked for a blessing.

And even though I know my God is a God of miracles, He never ceases to amaze me with His power, His goodness, and His love.

Because right now I feel better than I have in the past three weeks. I have great faith that God can heal me, in fact, I am quite convinced that He is the only one who can. My body is a baffling pile of mush to most doctors, but God knows how to fix me and tonight He showed me, once again, that He will.

Thank you, Father.
