It has been a while. I apologize. Life has been crazy busy. I wanted to take it back to almost a month ago and share a story of something the Lord did.
A lot of you know, in 2018, I got into a car accident that has left me with pain in my back, like the kind of pain that makes me want just to lay down and not do a thing. I was nervous coming into the world race that my back would keep me from the full experience. That I would say ‘no‘ to things because my back was bothering me.
During our time at training camp, we were in a session about gifts. Towards the end of the session, my squad leader asked a group of us if we have any pain in our backs, specifically our lower back. I looked at him with a blank stare and said, “uh yeah.“ I shared with him that I had been in a car accident and that ever since then, I had pain in my lower left side of my back. He asked if he and a group could pray over my back, and I hesitated but said “yes.” I know God is in the healing business, but something in me was still like, “This is not about to happen to me. This kind of thing happens to other people but not me.“ They proceeded to pray over me. As they got done praying, Rob looked at me and said, “How’s your back?” I said, “It’s good.“ And he asked me again. “How’s your back?“ I looked at him with a blank stare cause I legit had no words. I had no pain. Like no pain. I looked at him and said, “I think the Lord just healed me.”
It was at that moment I realized that the Lord is way bigger than I thought He was. I have lived with this small view of God for a long time. The thought that He only did those kinds of miracles in the Bible. It has been two months now, and I haven’t had any pain in my back. Something that I struggled with on the daily is no longer hindering me. Wow. God is BIG. I’m so grateful that my view is shifting. I have always struggled to ask God for the big things, pray the big prayers, and seek answers to my big questions. I think it was in fear that He was going to show up in a big way. But man, I’m so glad he showed up in this big way because it’s given me the confidence to ask God for the big things. Pray for the big things. Seek the answers. Because He’s going to come through. He always does. After all, our God is BIG!
Praise God! Love you Addi!
