Dear Jackie,

   I would like to share my story with you and all the members on the Mall.

 As you know I had lots of problems with my foot for the last year. After 2 unsuccessful operations the doctor told me that the only option now was a fusion of the ankle joint. I went for a second opinion. The second doctor told me that it was not the best option to have started with an operation and that he would rather have used radiation first and if necessary would have performed a bone transplant. He recommended that I wait 6 months before he was going to attempt the third operation. During this time I have to undergo intensive physiotherapy.

I was in a lot of pain everyday. Every step I took was painful. My foot was swollen and I tried not to walk too much. We go to a small prayer group on Thursday evenings and we met a wonderful man there. After I told my story this man laid his hands on my foot and prayed for healing. After that we went home and to bed. The next morning I got out of bed limping to the bathroom as always not realizing that there was no more pain. Only during the day I realize that the pain was gone, there was no more swelling and I could actually jump and run!

This is amazing, miracles still happen! People do not always realize the power of prayer. I did not go back to the doctor for tests because it is very expensive and I believe that God healed me!  Hugs, Riani (of Enigma Embroidery)

Jackie says: "What a wonderful testimony, Riani!  I have seen the Lord move in my life many times in miraculous, as well as everyday ways.... if we only understood the profound love the God has for us... we would have the faith to see miracles happen constantly.  Thank you for sharing with us the experience of healing that God has blessed you with!!  Hugs and Blessings <>< Jackie

Psalms 121: 1-8

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
