Not exactly walking on water, but...

I thought that I'd send out a praise report - since I have each and every one of you to thank all of the steps (pun intended) I am taking in my healing!
A quick update: I am in the middle of my first official week at work WITHOUT MY WALKER!!!!! Yippee!!!! I admit, I have come home from work too sore to walk another step, but I feel satisfied knowing that I made it that long without the need of a contraption to get me from point A to point B! I have been weening myself off of it at home for some time, but have been too fearful to leave the house without it for some time... But, I am reminded that fear and worry are not of God so I took a chance and God has supported me (literally - ha!) these past few days. Praise God!

I have also been blessed in finding a Pain Management Specialist who is not only covered by my insurance (a challenge I faced with many of the specialists my surgeon has sent me to...) but who is just an overall nice, compassionate man. I saw him for the first time last Friday and I start an every-Monday schedule with him next week. He warned me that his treatments could take months, but at this point, I'll do whatever it takes to receive my healing.
So many of you have been so encouraging to me lately... I wanted to take the time to thank you. This has been quite a struggle for me - but you have each taken it upon yourselves to take care of me. You are also all teaching me so much about the power of prayer - and faith. THANK YOU!!!

Something powerful happened at work today that I wanted to share.... I, myself, have been doing affirmations and speaking healing scripture over my body and I realized that the power of the tongue is often forgotten. This morning, as I was praying on the way to work, I prayed over the staff at my school and I prayed over my students. Later, as I was about to give a group of mine a test, I decided to empower these students as you all have empowered me. Before giving them the test, I had them stand and repeat, "I am smart." They giggled, then said it. Then, we continued, "I am an excellent reader," this time, they were genuinely smiling (as opposed to laughing at their crazy teacher) and even speaking with more authority. Lastly, I had them say, "I am going to do a fantastic job on this test!" Every single student yelled these words. I believe that they truly believed them. They took their test. I scored it and pulled them aside, one by one, and showed them how each student made considerable improvements on this test compared to the test they took week before...
Ah... The power of words... The power of believing in them...

Thank you to those of you who take the time at 4:00 pm each day to pray for me. Thank you to those of you who speak healing over my body. Thank you for believing when I felt hopeless - and for being a part of all that brought that faith back into my life - mind, body and soul.
By God's Grace, I WILL BE HEALED!
