Well here I am again thinking about what God is doing in my life and how it's changing just about everything about me. His love continually amazes me each and everyday along with His mercies, grace, and just overall faithfulness. For about two months now I've been seeing a Christian counselor who has just about one of the biggest radars for hearing from God in a person that I've ever met and all I can say it WOW! What I'm going to talk about in this post is something that happen just recently and everything is still very fresh in my mind.
The day is Monday the 16th of January 2012 and it's 3pm when I get to the counselor's place of work. There's a man from my church there with us today as he is in training to become a counselor so this is just some hands on training for him and I'm okay with it. Today we are going back to the P.T.S.D. (post traumatic stress disorder) which started at the explosion of an I.E.D. rocking the truck I was driving. As I'm walking through this process with my counselor and the man from my church I am instructed to invite Jesus into this moment. What was to follow there was no amount of preparation that would of did me any good. I'm sitting in a chair with my head in my hands, what's been happening is a lot of prayer and instructions then it happens. The man from my church comes over and puts his hand on my head and with words from God I truly believe he says this, "Your friend is with me in heaven. You don't know the plans I have for you and your understanding won't be able to fathom it." This is what I remember the most clearly and I cannot begin to describe the what had taken place inside of my heart, mind, and spirit. The healing and restoration that came from this hour long session was simply amazing and I have no doubt at all that God was there in the midst of it. The words were to true, to pure, to holy in a sense because those words that were spoken to me I had spoken to God in journal entries, prayers, and general frustration.
This is only part of the time of what God has been doing in my life continually and it constantly amazes me what He does out of love for me. His mercies are new each day whether they come in the form of simply gestures or from co-workers when I'm having a bad day. The very fact of the matter is that this for me in healing and restoration which is something that more then welcomed in my life considering what I've struggled with and how it's impacted my life from the time of the I.E.D. going till now. Now I get to tell my friends what God has been doing for me and for those of you who may not believe that God doesn't heal or restore anymore well I got news for you HE DOES! I'm living proof that God is still in the business of healing and restoration trust me He does. The peace that I have within me doesn't come from anything of this world, but only from God because it's that peace which transcends all understanding. Take care and God Bless! =)
