Healing...

For Bible this week I've been learning about Jesus miraculously healing people with leprosy, paralysis, and other diseases. One of the activities I'm to do is write about a healing I recieved from God. I thought, "why not just blog about it?" So that's what I'm doing!

From what I can remember, I was plagued with awful headaches from January 2008 till the fall of 2008. Plus I was getting sick with colds every two weeks. No joke. I remember thinking, "ok two weeks ago I had a cold, so now this is the week I get another one." And it usually happened! It was no fun at all. Especially in the summer. I hate getting sick in the summer! And I could never ever breathe. My nose was always stuffed up. Anyway... I tried so many different remedies to try to cure both of them. Sinus meds, allergy pills, ibuprofen(of course), herbal teas... My parents finally decided to take me to a chiropracter in October to see if there was anything wrong with my spinal cord or neck. And there was. Both were a little out of place. So for the month of October I went to the chiropracter twice a week, stopped lifting weights, took the month of from gymnastics, and started drinking a lot of water. After running out of money and since the chiropracter said it was probably enough, I stopped the visits and resumed my activities. But I continued to drink 64 ounces of water a day, which I still TRY to do to this day! So I thought I was all better..... Then the first week back to gymnastics, I'm pretty sure I undid all the work that was done in my back. After that my headaches came back and my back started hurting a lot. I was really upset with this for a while. I started using a vaporizer at night to clear my sinuses and I still took all the meds and drank water. Somewhere between December and February my headaches ceased. And I could breathe. Then my vaporizer broke and I had to live without it for a couple of weeks, which made the headaches and stuffiness come back again! But I now have a new vaporizer, sinus meds and allergy pills, usually 64 ounces of water in my system, and 8 ounces of water up my nose every night. So I could say that all this made my headaches go away, but I'm not going to. I give all the credit to God. He gave me (my parents I should say) the money to buy the stuff I need, my sister(Charity) who gave me the idea of the NetiPot( nostril-water-stuff), and all that...

It's weird though cuz He healed me from this stuff and at the time I didn't even realize that he had. Now I look back and see all the pain I went through and then I thank him for it, but it's just weird how I could be healed and not even notice. I don't know how to really explain it. It just makes me feel kind of bad. Like I ask him to heal me, he does, and I don't even notice it....? Maybe you'll understand. Maybe it's cuz I don't feel it right now so I don't even think about it.. hmmmm.. something to ponder.

Well if you've reached this point, thanks for reading about headaches and remedies and forgetfullness... I hope I didn't bore you. Have a nice whatever you're having!
