Wendy's Prayer For Healing

Thank you Father that I am fearfully and wonderfully made by you. Thank you that you know every bone, sinew, joint, muscle, tissue, organ, nerve, vein, artery, blood vessel,  and cell in my body as you knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for the might, strength and love of  God who placed the resurrection power of Jesus Christ and the healing power of the Holy Spirit in my body to work mightily to keep me healthy and whole in body, mind, soul and spirit. Thank you for the doctors and caregivers you place in my life to help me. Thank you for all the good gifts you send my way. Thank You for my healing.(Jan. 27 2011).

"Come and listen all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me. I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished sin in my heart the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise Be To God who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me". Psalm 66:16-20 NIV

I am not a particularly brave person

that is for sure. I am a big suck when it comes to pain consequently my hubby rushes to bring me sweets and ice cream when I am feeling pain. I was in pain most days. I found a great  over the counter medicine to take which helped me a lot and I found that  heating pads, prayer, meditation and music also soothed my pain. I never quite understood all the pain I was in. I was told it was caused by the deterioration of the myelin sheath covering my nerves. I was told some of it was just "sensation" and it would not hurt me... but i did hurt. I was told not to worry and to just  carry on when I had chest pains so bad I thought I was having a heart attack many times. I could hardly breathe or move some days it hurt so bad. I was told that my muscles would heal and work better if I used them more, I did, but it hurt so much. Epsom salts baths would help a lot with muscle pain and heating pads as well. I was told to do deep breathing exercises and sing. It hurt but I did it anyways. I smiled even though it hurt. I tried to learn new things to keep my brain working and to think clearly even though that hurt. January 27, 2011 my IR Dr. Bulent Arslan performed simple angioplasty for CCSVI, opening my blocked azygous vein, and right jugular vein valve and upper vein. Today the only thing that hurts is my heart and that is breaking for all of those suffering with Multiple Sclerosis whose hope is to be diagnosed and treated for CCSVI and have some of thier symptoms releived in Canada.

Season's Tickets

I used to work at the local hockey arena which seats about 1500 people. Our local teams were the Sarnia Bees Jr. B & the Sarnia Sting Jr. C levels. The fans packed the stands every game and loved to cheer on their teams. Most of  these loyal fans have season tickets to all the games, my husband Gus included. The choosing of these seats is very important because if you pick the wrong spot you either get a blocked view, or may find yourself situated in the opposing team's fan section.Gus studies the seating chart all summer long, visits the arena in late August to watch the practices and checks out the seating plan. In early September a notice comes by mail stating that the tickets are ready to be purchased and that if Gus doesn't pick them up by the 15 of the month, the seat will be sold to another person. He rushes down to the arena and picks up his tickets for his perfect spot. (Beleive it or not after all this Gus usually stands up to watch the game and chat with his buddies. He prefers to stand at the railing along the top instead of his chosen season ticket holder's seat).

This reminds me of  the story in the Bible where the disciples were walking along a road with Jesus and asked Him where they would be seated once they got to heaven.

"27 Then Peter said to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?" 28 And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life. 30 "But many who are first will be last ; and the last, first.

I like to think that the seating plan at the throne ceremony in heaven is arranged like the arena for a great hockey game or concert.  Jesus Christ the King on the right of Blessed Father God in the middle and Holy Spirit on the left are seated on stage with the spotlights on them. The twelve apostles are seated on the side (judging table) on stage as well. The archangels Micheal, Gabriel & Raphael are standing beside them and the throne creatures are in front of them all singing Holy Holy Holy. The 144 thousand special martyrs killed for the gospel in the end times are in the front row best seats under the altar. Next comes the poor and wretched, those who were not given any justice on earth. Then the Saints and all the other martyrs who were killed on earth  for Jesus the Saviour. You will see those like Mother Theresa, Pope John Paul, Martin Luther King, great harvest workers, preachers and teachers of God's word down through the ages. They will be seated in the closest seats to the King. What about me and my family? Just ordinary people who love the Lord and try to do our best and what is right here on earth as humbly as possible? Where will people like us be seated? In the "peanut gallery" of course. The giant projector screen wil be our viewing area but the big screen will be as big as the universe itself and it will seem that we are right there in front of our Lord and Saviour.
