Carl Emerson,
Thank you for this post it seems you wrote many years ago. I’m new to this forum and happened to randomly stumble upon it on the internet. It has been super encouraging to me hearing all the testimonies you shared and it has touched me to write to you. Truly, I need to hear it now. I want to briefly share my own experiences.
I been dealing with a health issue for the last 7 years going on 8. I was never born with it but developed it in my early 20s. I got a second ear piercing around that time frame. And a year later after the piercing I got started to develop into very large growths called keloids. You can research them as they are very common and incurable. Essentially it’s when the body doesn’t heal properly and continues to grow beyond the cut. I haven’t just developed them on my ears but also when my body is cut. As they grew worse and painful my husband I were living overseas because he was in the military. The military insurance had told me that they would pay for the needed surgery to remove these growths on my ears. Only to later on reject it. It was a very expensive procedure but my husband had pity on me and we paid for it. It was extremely painful procedure and it was only months later they regrew worse than before. I have wept, fasted and prayed countless hours over this. I had given my life to Jesus when I was very young but within those years I had fell away and was living in sin. This illness along with many other things pushed me to edge and I repented to God and recommitted my life back to him. It was then I read my Bible from cover to cover. My coming back to Jesus happened shortly after my first surgical procedure. I was very steady in prayer after that. I had prayed.. Lord please fight for me. And while having a regular dentist appointment my doctor. (I had a new one.. the military changes physicians often.) Noticed my ear and was wondering if I was being taken care of. I told him my story of how the insurance rejected me. And wouldn’t you know he said he would fight for me. And I remember weeping in the chair. God provided a surgical procedure with absolute no cost about 4 hours away at another military base. Now if you know anything about the military… this could not happen because one, I’m only a spouse. And two, I wasn’t stationed at that base. I knew it was God alone and I praised him for it. The surgery went well and I had full confidence this would be over. It’s going on 3 years since then and they have completely regrown worse than before. Everything I’ve went through has strengthened my faith incredibly. But I must admit it’s harder this time around. But I know we serve God who hears our quiet prayers.
I’ve often wondered why God has allowed this to happen to me. But I have to trust in his never ending mercy and that he alone has the power to heal me completely. If you could keep me in prayer that I would not give up but keep on striving. Knowing if I knock, he will answer within his will. Thank you and blessings.
