lets get healthy, already!

I am totally covered in a rash. I am hoping it is from a zpack that I finished on tuesday last week. Or at worst from the laundry detergent- switched from ALL Free and Clear to ALL Free and Clear with OXI CLEAN. All I keep thinking is that we better figure it out and FAST! I am rather itchy and rather irritable... I mean who would not be grumpy with red bumps that itch appearing here and there and disappearing here and there. But even in this most uncomfortable of circumstances I must find a place of peace. I must be still. And let God be God.

I am reminded of the story, actually my four year old has been talking about this story since last Sunday at church, of Jesus healing the blind man.

John 9

New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind

"As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. 8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some claimed that he was. Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.” 10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked. 11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”

Jesus is my Healer and the Light of the World. I am so thankful that even in moments of pure frustration and defeat, I still have this truth. I will rest in Him and believe in the Word and Truth. I believe that having this rash is to make me realize all things can be worse and even while I am uncomfortable and feeling ill, I can still praise Him.

Being thankful that despite our illnesses that have tried to make us weak and have us struggle with little faith that we can plead the blood of Jesus over our home, over our chilren and ourselves and we will believe and expect to be healed. Our Father is amazing and faithful.

Holding on to the fact that He will heal me and when the healing comes, I will still be ready and expectant and thankful. I will not give up before the miracle. I will believe and listen.
