from the very beginning I was not wanted there was a lot of abuse from the time I
was three on of every kind of abuse you could imagine and I remember at 3 having
migraine headaches a very severe and being in bed for four and five days and
then from that point it moved to back a lot of back pain I would be playing and
all of a sudden my back which is everything but just knot up and freeze
and I wouldn't be able to move it would happen through college where I would
just be in bed for a month at a time missing school not being able to move
just frozen in pain I didn't I didn't share a lot of my past with my husband
and so he didn't know the first couple of years just living constantly in pain
I was living on three different narcotics at the same time every day
three and four times a day taking that you know methadone percocet morphine all
at the same time I couldn't be there for my kids I just felt like it's not worth
living when you're in that much pain and not able to live any kind of life and be
the mom and be the wife why live
fifteen years ago I had been diagnosed that I had a very severe case of
fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and it was such a relief because the doctors
kept saying that my pain was all in my head and I didn't understand that
because it was in every extremity of my body they didn't give me any hope all
they could do was keep me on drugs and keep giving me higher doses of narcotics
I wasn't doing life at all you know and I was dying I was dying inside
I felt like my family would be better off without me you know whatever lay
there for day after day just praying for the Lord to take me a friend had told us
about the Healing Rooms and she had mentioned it again to my husband and
he was so open to it because I'm gonna get you ready we're gonna call it my
friend melody and we're going to the Healing Rooms and
it's like it's so beautiful because heaven came down
there were two big angels and the first angel was coming around and pulling out
all the arrows of unjustice all the things that had done had been done to me
and then the bigger angel came around my back were pulling out the deeper arrows
I would I'd carry so much hurt that this whole sensation
went through my whole entire body and
every ounce of pain left my body
God healed my heart and in healing my heart He healed my mind
and in healing my mind He healed my body and I've never been the same I
came running out of there and he was like what's going on I said I'm free
when the scripture says the Lord will restore with the enemy as stolen He has
you know for my kids to be able to see me have the energy to be able to do
things now they're having children and they are just in awe of the Grammy that
I am I get to put a baby on my back on a backpack you know and we're hiking
around and going to the park and doing these things and I'm swinging with them
and I'm running around and every day it's just like God what are we going to
do today it is so exciting to be so full of joy and so full of health and so full
of life I'm 60 years old and I feel like I said 25 it is such a gift
