Peaks and Valleys

I had such a great weekend. I began to dream about what life in the real world was like. Then, Monday at 4pm it hit me like a bus. It was like I'd been drugged again. I've been down ever since. Ugg. My mother in law wrote me this encouraging note yesterday:

"Shannon - Believing this battle of the viruses (between the good and the
bad) will be over for you soon! Keep believing for your healing - stay open
and receptive to The Holy Spirit - make it a habit to "receive".

My take on Dr. Lerner's stuff is that the "awful" days during treatment are
the result of the battle going on between the virus & the anti-virus - so
it's a good thing. No battle of any kind is without pain (from discomfort
to debilitating pain), & soldiers all know the risk, "they could die in
battle". Killing the enemy(the bad virus) is worth the risk because
living with the enemy is not how God intended life to be. We all know
people who have lived with terrible diseases their whole lives - they
suffered...it so hurts the Lord!

Jesus Christ came on the scene and showed us that He has power over the
enemy! He has power over every virus! The enemy is out to kill, steal &
destroy man. God intends to give them life...and life abundant!!!

Praise God for Dr. Lerners' who battle to eliminate diseases so man can live
as God intended. God can pour out His healing through anti-virals, meds,
through the laying on of hands, and sovereignly. According to the Gospels,
God prefers to work His healing "through man"! On our part, we just have to
be receptive to whatever, however & whenever God wants to heal us.

We should all be praying for Dr.'s and Scientists who labor to eradicate
disease! They are right there on the battlefront! And praying for men and
women of God to rise up in Faith and "go and do the work of Jesus Christ"
"...heal the sick, cast out demons,raise the dead...."

With the Power of the Lord, the good guys,(anti-viral meds) will win this
battle you and dad are going through. Know that your family has you both
covered in prayer for Grace, protection, strength, and for the Joy of the
Lord in the midst of your battle. And Shannon, your children will reap good
from what the enemy planned for evil! You're so loved. mom"
