O Magnify the Lord With Me, Part 4 - Testimony Time

Written Nov. 1999

Psalm 34

Testimony Time

6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

This poor woman cried! Yes, Lord, You know I have cried and cried and cried, and I know You have heard! You HAVE saved me out of all my past troubles in one way or another – although there have been times when I have had to WAIT for long periods of time. Hallelujah! I rejoice and thank-You just now as I recount these desperate prayers that You have answered in the past – the desire for a house in the country, better influences for the children, relief from the horrible panic attacks and "brain fog" a few years ago which relief came through lowering my carbohydrates and not riding in the van, relief from the daily stress of dealing with a son with ADHD (my diagnosis), relief from the one and a half months of dizziness caused by Lysol,
weight-gain with Ultra-Clear Sustain, the relief (at least at present) of the heavy bleeding with estradiol, and the relief of the recent bouts with palpitations and "brain-fog" with dot doses of Nystatin mixed with water. (How difficult it was to find the right dose – for too much caused fatigue, and too little caused a return of the symptoms, but You have helped me.)

The recent trial of raw thyroid was obviously not what I needed, and I thank-You, Lord, for giving me sense not to continue to follow the nurses' advice on the estradiol. It was obviously an overdose…a mix- up in communication and a real WHACK to my body. Please help me to
forgive her and the doctor.

Yes, You have saved me out of all my troubles, yet I have new ones!

O Lord, I cry again! This chest/breast pain and lack of sleep with fibromyalgia has not entirely stopped since the overdose. Is the estradiol killing me? Is it making me worse? Help, Lord! I cry unto You again! Surely You will save me out of my present troubles, too!
In Jesus' name. Amen!

This was written in 1999....and yes, I magnify the Lord today and give testimony that HE saved me out of those troubles, too. I am so much better! I was finally by God's help able to get the right estradiol dose. The chest pain, I think, was caused by the moldy trailer we lived in. When I finally started sleeping in my van, I got better. Now we have a better house. Praise His Name!
