Storytime on healing:
Back in 1996 we owned a restaurant in Kingwood Texas. Pook sent me to the store early one morning to pick up some produce that we were running low on. It was around 6:30 am and when I walked in headed to the produce department (which is in the front of the store) I slipped and took a hard fall on my knee then turned that leg and hurt my lower back. They were mopping the floor over there and did not have the caution signs out informing people that the floor was wet. They were a big chain at that time and took responsibility.
They sent me to testing and honestly I don't recall what kinds and then physical therapy for several weeks 2 or 3 times a week. It did not go well. I still hurt. Their doctor told me it was something I would just have to live with. I was in my 30's and I didn't accept that. I could not see myself living in that pain. I went for several massages on my own and still not getting any better. One of our customers told me she had fallen several years ago and didn't have medical insurance and it turned her knee literally sideways. Someone told her of an acupuncturist. She was very leery of one but desperate from the pain. She started going twice a week and she said after a few weeks her knee had turned and was in the right place with no pain. She said Jenny you ought to give it a try. It works.
In my head I had drawn the conclusion it was kinda like voo-do. I had never tried it and she was the only one I knew that had. I couldn't understand it nor explain it but I was desperate. I was tired of the pain. I thought that you couldn't be healed of things except through doctors or prayer. The box that I had God in was really small because that is all I had been exposed to. This lady also embraced Qigong meditation with her treatment and that was even stranger to me but I was tired of the pain. She learned it in China in school there. I went for the treatment and she told me she would be there with me on the table for 45 minutes touching different parts of my body. She asked me not to speak unless I was in pain. I lay there for 45 minutes feeling my body feeling something different. I kept my eyes closed and said over and over in my head Jesus, I don't understand this and what is happening but I receive my healing in the name of Jesus. I would say that the whole time. She helped me and I became healed and whole. I kept going to her for years till she retired. She helped my sinuses also. I found another acupuncturist and go to her when I needed to.
I tell you all that to say this. I can't explain what happened in my body or how it happened but I know it did. I had prayed for an answer and the answer came in a way I really doubted in the beginning but my box became bigger. Now I believed there were 3 ways I could be healed. Since that time my views have expanded even more to other holistic ways. Why??? Because I always say Jesus you can heal me anyway you want to. Since then I even believed they could remove my cancerous bladder and take me through a 13 hour surgery and make me a new bladder out of my intestines and live a normal life. My God box just keeps expanding.
