My Miracle!
Like a lot of us, I grew up in the church, but drifted away in my teens. I was a very immoral teenager, with an abusive father and lots of other problems; most of which I created myself. I have always had an excellent mother and two brothers whom I love dearly.
In my twenties, I married a man who turned out to be very controlling and abusive. I left after seven years and married another man and moved to a different state. We are still married and I love him dearly, as well as my two step children and my niece who lives with us.
I began going back to church, mostly because my mom insisted that I raise my niece in the church, and I also knew it was my responsibility to see that she did go. After trying several churches, I found one that I really liked. I felt the presence of God there, just like I did in my childhood home church. I still, however, was not saved.
In April of this year, I had to have surgery. It was supposed to be fairly simple and easy, and I was told that I would heal within a couple of weeks. However; my wound became very badly infected and I was in a great deal of pain. I could not sleep, I could not stand or sit comfortably. For some reason (which I now know), I kept thinking of the Third Day song "Cry Out to Jesus", which I had only heard probably twice. It just kept popping into my head. So, that's what I did. I started praying like never before, and I meant every word. I asked Jesus to save me and forgive all of my sins. I cried and prayed for a long time, when I got the urging to breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth. When I did this, the pain went AWAY! I was able to sleep through the night. When I woke up, I knew I was changed and I felt such joy, even though I was in pain again.
To correct my first surgery, I had to have a second surgery. During this time, I became addicted to Percocet. I didn't know I was addicted until I decided not to take it one morning. Well, of course I freaked out. I was so ashamed that I had become addicted to a drug I was taking as directed and felt so stupid that I would let this happen to myself; especially since I had been saved - I felt so ashamed before God. My doctor told me to keep taking them until she got back from a convention and could wean me off of them. I went back to Michigan with my mom for a couple of weeks at this point.
My mom and I went to a Christian bookstore one day and this man approached me and asked if I needed prayer. My mom told him (much to my embarassment) that I was in pain and addicted to Percocet. He asked if he could pray for me and he and some others surrounded me and began to pray. When they were done, he asked if he could pray again, and I'm like "ok". So he did, and when he was done, he had tears in his eyes. He told me that God knows I'm ashamed and I don't need to be because I'm forgiven and in God's eyes, I am perfect and special. Wow! I was floored! I didn't receive healing right there and then, but I have never felt so loved and so unworthy at the same time!
I began to wean myself off the pain pills, but I only had three left, so it wasn't much of a weaning..lol. When I had two left, I just stopped taking them. I had another drug that was supposed to help me get off the Percocet, but at that point, I was afraid to take anything. I just stopped. My mother was staying with me in Pennsylvania (she's an RN) and after about three days, she asked if I was out of Percocet. When I told her I hadn't taken them in three days, she was shocked. I didn't have ANY withdrawal symptoms. I thank God for my miracles and for my new life!
I hope that I can be a good example to my family. I'm new at this, so any advice would be appreciated!
