Wow Moment

There are so many things that this surgery has done for me and Sunday night I experienced one of them. I had prayed for the Lord to be able to let me kneel again to worship Him. Last night we had a lesson in Job...the portion where he says' I k ow my Redeemer lives" and the we had an "afterglow"...at which time the Pastor said, if you want to stand...stand...I said to the Lord..I would love to kneel...can I Lord? And then the song came on..."Come let us worship and bow down, let us "kneel" before the Lord our God our Maker" that is one of my favorite verses in Psalms and favorite songs. I started to cry and then got down on my knees and prayed thanking the Lord for answering my cry. I even got up unassisted. He is so faithful to know our hearts desires and to meet them in His time. I am thrilled at being able to walk, stand and do things that were so difficult ot even impossible before. The size is great but not the most important thing. I no longer feel enslaved by my body. It is funny though when I am folding and hanging clothes to believe these are my clothes and not someone elses. The Lord is good and I praise Jesus daily (many times a day) for this tool to help me be all He desires me to be. In Christ, Joan M

Praise the Lord Joan!!! What an incredible thing. I know that I like to kneel at times, when I'm so moved - and to be able to and be able to get up after - it's a beautiful thing!!! I'm so happy for you! Your body (and mine & everyone's here) is the temple to the Spirit of the Living God! How wonderful that your temple - His temple - is becoming more and more ABLE to give Him the honor He deserves. Praise the Lord!!! ~Carolyn

Awesome WOW. Praise the Lord for the ability to kneel and worship the Lord. Hugs, Trish

Joan!! That is such an awesome WOW moment!! Jesus does answer our prayers!! God Bless you, Heather

Oh this post just made me cry in longing! I've been sooooo desiring to be able to kneel before Him and 'stay there' for as long as needed. I usually end up sitting after a short period cause I can't stand the weight. I'm so blessed to see what He has done for you and now I have this to look forward to also! My surgery is in 11 days! Thanks so much for sharing this! Ronda
