Sick as a Dog!



Sick as a Dog! Have you ever been there? I was Superbowl Sunday. I woke up and hugged the toilet about 5:00am and again at about 8:00am. I was supposed to speak that morning and my stomach churned even more at the thought of calling to cancel on my good friend and mentor, Pastor Phil up at Bloomer Assembly of God. I decided to go as long as the Lord kept my legs from buckling under me.

It was not easy. There was no instant healing. I felt very sick even as I got out of the vehicle and approached the church. As I waited I sat quietly on a couch praying for strength before the service. Several people had been praying for me, others had laid hands on me and as I approached the pulpit I was infused with power from on high. I got my miracle.

I could not believe how good I felt by the end of the service. As I closed the service I mentioned to the congregation for the first time what God had done to bring me to them. I mentioned to them the reason I had come to them was to ask for prayer for my deployment and in the event of asking them to cover me in prayer God was supplying them with an example of the power of prayer.

When we left I began to feel weak immediately. I declined lunch with my good friends knowing I could not smell food yet. By the time we got home I felt quite horrible once again. I was shaking and shivering and crawled into bed with all my clothes on. I slept for 3 1/2 hours, woke, and started eating, just in time for the Super Bowl!!!

I feel really good today. God is alive, living and in-control. I guess you could say I feel dog-gone-good! I hope you do to. Blessings
