God is good all the time….
A MESSAGE FROM MY HEALED WIFE!!
My healed wife has not been in a position to contribute a post but PRAISE GOD, she is on an amazing trajectory of manifesting her healing in her body…. below is an update directly from my healed wife’s hand (she has deleted Facebook off her phone to keep her from being sucked into the scroll hole and able to stay focused on the Word)…..
Hello my amazing friends, family and prayer warriors!
I am so grateful for each and everyone of you and completely overwhelmed that the Lord has allowed me to see His Kingdom at work through each one of you. He has used you all to provide for all of our needs in so many wonderful ways. There are no words to adequately convey the depths of our gratitude and I am anxious for the day we are able to serve Him as well as all of you have been serving us. I pray Luke 6:38 that as you give, it would be given back to you good measure, pressed down, shaken together so that you cannot even hold it and I pray 3 John 2 that you would prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.
I want to thank my amazing warrior husband for being our communicator and keeping everyone up to date on what has been happening in our lives. He is such a blessing and takes such great care of me. So many of you have reached out to me and I want to apologize for not responding but also to let you all know how much I love you and appreciate your messages. I thought you all might like to hear from me and the last few months from my perspective.
I was just thinking this morning how very long ago our trip to Mexico seems. I remember when we first got back how good I felt. I was walking on my own and would occasionally feel well enough to eat at the table with the family. Then somewhere just before Christmas I didn’t feel so great. I was nauseous all the time and having a challenging time keeping food down. It seemed to get better over Christmas weekend but that night I got sick again. Looking back, there were several different things, just little decisions really, that we made that had we done them differently, the next little bit may not have been so hard. For the next two weeks I struggled with vomiting and even holding down water until I ended up in the hospital. After several days of receiving fluids, I was able to come home but I was still not doing very well. If I could describe myself during this time as the bobber on the end of a fishing line, I would say I felt like I was under the water way more than I was above. The bone pain I experience was dramatically increased which lead to the hospital putting me on pain medicine that had I known the effects of which would have on my body, I would have found a different way. We are still working on my body detoxing from the pain meds which often leads to me feeling very tired, horrible brain fog and unable to make decisions on my own. Detoxing truly is no joke! There were a number of times over the last two months that I wondered if my body was shutting down.
BUT GOD!!!!! He began to guide us and it was like I knew the next steps we needed to take to help my body heal and slowly but surely my appetite began to return and I was no longer getting sick. I began feeling better. Then about two weeks after we got home from the hospital, something happened.
For the past two years I’ve had issues with the lymph drainage in my right arm and have had to get Assisted Lymph Therapy to help move the fluid from my arm. After the hospital my body began building up the pain medication that I was taking and not moving it out properly. The doctor we have been working with decided to change my medication to a slow release rather than the every four hours I was taking. This is pretty standard for those who are walking through cancer and I understand it helps many people. Sadly for me, it didn’t work and in fact my pain was worse than it had ever been. Friday, February 10, I took the 3rd dose of the time release medication and within an hour I was vomiting and couldn’t stop. It was terrible! It had been two weeks since I had gotten sick. I have absolutely no idea what it is like to overdose on something but that is what I imagined it felt like. I remember laying in bed looking at my husband and feeling completely helpless. I couldn’t think clearly, I was in horrible pain and I felt almost like I was out of my body. Then God directed our steps once again and used our precious Hannah to do it. She said, why don’t you try charcoal pills??? I stopped vomiting after the second one, Praise God, and I honestly have no idea how many I took that first weekend. But we began filling me up with juices so I could do the coffee breaks and finally Saturday night at 6:00 I called my mom into the bathroom and said I finally feel a little better. It felt like someone had removed a mask or blindfold from me and I could see again. It is still a journey and I am still taking at least two charcoal caps a day but the medicine is slowly moving out of my body and my arm.
The following Monday, two amazing men of God from our church came and prayed over me. The Lord reminded me that I don’t have to “do” anything but rest and receive what He has already done for me. That night I went to bed determined to just rest in the Lord, in His promises and receive the healing He has already given to me. I woke up February 14, 2023 believing I am completely healed from cancer. The changes and improvements in my body since then have been exponential! I am still not where I was when we got back from Mexico but in many ways I believe I am even better!!!!! I am healed!
So going back to the fishing bobber analogy, these days I am definitely above the water much more than I am under. We continue to steadfastly submit ourselves to God and resist everything that the enemy to try to throw at us and he will flee in stark terror. He will soon learn that he has no place in this Knight house. I am so grateful for all that the Lord has and continues to do for our family. We see His Word manifest in my body and in our lives almost daily. Joel 3:10, I AM STRONG, is one of my favorite scriptures to speak and claim over my life and we are beginning to see the strength return to my legs and body. I cannot tell you how many times over the last two months we saw 1 Peter 2:24 manifest as I was head over a garbage can on the verge of getting sick speaking that verse until all traces of nausea and vomiting disappeared. I just love His Word and Hebrews 4:12 that His Word is ALIVE!!!!!!! One of my dear friends, who has been a true and completely unexpected gift from the Lord, has been declaring that this month will be a good month for me and our family and boy have we seen that come to pass.
I cannot complete this post without thanking my fearless mama and my warrior husband. These two are my absolute best and favorite caregivers who have sacrificed so much. I am completely dependent upon them and I cannot fathom how stressful and taxing and exhausting that must be for them. The Lord has blessed me beyond measure with both of them and they truly exhibit Agape love. Not only has my warrior husband become my amazing caretaker but he also has the burden of all the household responsibilities/decisions that he used to be able to share. And with the difficulties of the last few months, the person he confides in and talks about everything with has not been mentally capable of holding a conversation. I imagine there are times it feels he has lost his best friend. But GOD! We continue to rejoice in the improvements we are seeing and He has continued to bring us closer together and closer to Him at the same time. He has helped us to strengthen our relationship through His Word and facing yet another trial which my warrior husband can update you on. And my precious mama, I can’t imagine what it must be like to watch your daughter go through this challenge. She is the strongest woman I know and the most amazing caretaker for our whole family. She just comes in and does whatever needs to be done whether it’s taking kids somewhere or washing the endless amount of dishes and laundry or cleaning the kitchen. And she does it all without a complaint. We are incredibly grateful to her and I can’t wait for the day when I get to just take her out for shopping and lunch, just a mother/daughter day.
And now more good stuff……Before the hospital, we found an IV therapy group here in town. The first time we went was right before the hospital and I received two liters of fluid and never had to go to the bathroom. That’s how dehydrated I was at the time. Little did I know what a God thing it was that He lead us there! It turns out they offer a number of therapies we received in Mexico! They are working on a treatment plan for us that will last 12 weeks. We are incredibly excited and expectant about what God is doing. We appreciate your prayers over the next few months for easy treatments and no negative side effects. That my veins would be strong and easy to find. That God has lead us here and He will supply all of our needs.
Thank you all for taking the time to follow us on this healing journey and for doing so so much to love on our family and truly help us through this time. We love and appreciate each one of you and pray for you often.
God is good! And He loves you as if you are the only person in this world to love!!!!!!
…. all the time God is good.
