 Healing and the Stupid Transportation Lock

Today, I went to church, and they had Pastor Jack Sheffield and his wife, Pastor Anne
Marie Sheffield. They were there from having a healing conference over the weekend,
which I didn't attend because I couldn't afford to pay the $20 to attend.
However, they did let us know that after the service, people could go up to the front to
have them pray.
I went up and asked for prayer for healing from my scoliosis. I'm not sure what exactly
happened, but I know that something happened up there.
As they were praying, my legs got really weak and I needed to sit (they had a chair
there for that) and then while I was in the chair, I felt this pressure against my back
and it was just pushing and pushing and pushing me to bend forwards. I kept bending
forwards, pretty much to the will of God/Jesus/the Holy Spirit. I know that I wasn't
controlling what I was doing at all.
As they prayed, they said it seemed like I was straighter, not 100% though. I have not
been in pain like I usually would be, though. I even moved some heavy boxes this
evening and I was tired and a little sore, but it wasn't the type of sore like I'd
normally be with the scoliosis.
So, I keep thanking God, as I should. for what He's doing, and they told me to do so as
well . . . which, well, no duh, thank God for whatever He is doing. I'm very glad to
not be so sore.
They then said to come to any other healing service if they had them. I won't pay
unless I can afford it, but if it is free, there's no big deal.
Also, if you pray, please do pray that my back be healed 100% and that I'm not sore at
all from it anymore.
I know that God is our great physician. I've always know that.
I am glad for the Sheffields and thank God for them. I am also glad that Episcopals
aren't stupid about going to doctors and think that it is just fine and that God
obviously did put them here for a reason, but sometimes, doctors just can't do God's
work.
However, my mom, totally clueless. My shirt was on inside out, so during the
announcements (which come right after the offering), I went to the bathroom to switch my
shirt the right way. I missed that announcement and I get back right as the service is
continuing and she says that she wants to leave after communion. I'd usually stay, but
she wanted to leave. So, after communion, I start to go out into the narthex. Then I
head towards the parking lot, but don't go out of the church building yet. When she
comes, then we are almost to the car, and then she tells me about how we could stay for
prayer. ARGHHH!!!! When I try to explain to her that what she did was STUPID and MADE
NO SENSE, she says, "THAT'S ENOUGH!" That's ALL she ever says when she doesn't make any
sense!
I went to church this evening, and it was a nice service, and contemplative, as always.
I quite enjoyed it. I enjoy both the singing and the quieter service.
This evening, Briana and tried to install the Epsion Artisan 700 Wireless printer. We
would've gotten a lot further, but there was this one step that told us to removed the
transportation lock. I figured out where it should be and thought that maybe we
couldn't get it out of the place. We kept looking and looking and trying and trying to
find or remove that stupid transportation lock.
After bringing up 11 different tabs in Firefox, I finally found a clear picture! It
showed that the transportation lock would be sitting on TOP of the space and not in it
like most pictures made it seem! It turns out that we didn't have a transportation lock
in our printer!
Yeah, so, Briana and I took a half hour looking for something that we didn't have!
However, this situation did show how Briana and I are completely different in the way we
handle anger. I tend to just be calm and sarcastic. I walked out into the living room
and got ready to watch Craig Ferguson's stand up, A Wee Bit O' Revolution, and
simply said, "Briana and I spent a half hour looking for something we didn't have."
We did get the printer set up, and thankfully Epson has "how to" videos for set up since
we didn't know where the wireless network guide was.
Before we got everything really started, we were playing "The Sneever Song Game" with
the colors and animals in my Barnum & Baily Gummies. Here's what we got:
yellow elephant
yellephant
yellow zebra
yellebra
yellow lion
yelion or yion
green elephant
grelephant
green zebra
greebra
green lion
grion
orange elephant
orlephant
orange zebra
orebra or zorbra
orange lion
orion
I'll write about The Sneever Song Game later (though, honestly, we've played it before
calling it that, but now we have a name we can call it!) |
Very cool about the healing experience. I'll pray that it sticks...or whatever. Not really sure how that works, but I love the mystery.
Thanks! So far, definitely not as sore as I've been other days. (Right now, a little sore, but I'm balancing a chihuahua on my lap!)
