Word prompt--THROUGH
Five minutes to freewrite about it
----------------------------------------------------------
The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this week's prompt was an old song, Through It All, written and composed by Andraé Crouch.
Life can be rough, and I've had my share of highs and lows, but even in the darkest valley, Jesus has always been right there with me, through it all.
One of the darkest storms I ever experienced was a near death experience over seven years ago when I went to the Emergency Room feeling short of breath and wound up intubated, heavily sedated, and hooked up to a ventilator, with acute heart failure and double pneumonia.
There was some speculation as to whether or not I would be able to pull through, and I am convinced that were it not for God's grace and the strong, unwavering faith of the army of prayer warriors who battled the forces of darkness surrounding me and fought the fight for me, I would not be here today.
Some of the most important lessons the Lord has ever taught me took place during those 27 days I spent in the hospital and the lengthy recovery period following. Not only did He work through this experience to reveal Himself as Jehovah Rapha, healer of my physical body and emotions, but He also taught me about love, friendship, and the power of intercessory prayer.
While still in the hospital, I felt inspired to write Oil Of Myrrh, a testimony to God's goodness, and the way He worked in my life through what started out looking like an insurmountable event. A free PDF is also available by double clicking on the image of the book cover on my sidebar.
You sure found your God given talent!!! And are helping others to find the true God.

This gives me hope for those I am praying for. 🩵
I immediately thought of that song when I saw the title of your post. We had that CD back when we had a CD player.
ReplyDeleteThe older we get, the more we can look back and see how God has been with us.
I've read your book and appreciate your amazing testimony and the way you share it.
