Praise the Lord!

As I sit to write this blog, i am overwhelmed, speechless, and so thankful. I just got back from running and a mini workout in the grass...since there really isn't a legitament work out area. haha! :) I am beyond ecstatic to say I have no pain in my back right now! Praise the Lord!!!
Yesterday we left for Kona and we began our week today with over 400 students singing praises to God (quite the change from our Honolulu base which has about 35 students!). The University of the Nations is located here and there are 4 DTS' going on along with numerous other schools that YWAM has, bringing this campus to about 1000 young people and leaders.
Worship time has always been one of my favorite times since i absolutely love singing! I stood there singing and I began to pray to God, please touch my back, take away the pain, bring your angels, make me new, its time to forget the pain of the past and move on God, I will not go back to volleyball because I have a call on my life now that I need to fulfill...just bring relief to my back! As I stood there crying out to God I felt a sense of peace. Fifteen minutes later, the leader of Kona began to say how he felt the Holy Spirit moving and said its time to pray for physical healing as well as spiritual healing for whoever felt broken. I could not believe it! I raised my hands as my friends gathered around me to lay their hands on my back. I began to feel stronger and the constant ache I have lived with disappeared. I am almost hesitant to say i am healed as I think back to all the doctors appointments, physical therapy, and money spent on trying to relieve my pain, but the God we serve can do anything. Its hard for my mind to grasp that within 30 seconds I was without pain but its time to claim it. As I ran tonight, I kept saying thank you thank you thank you Jesus. I could not stop saying it, He deserves so much more. I also want to say thank you for everyone who has been praying for me and continues to pray. He hears every word! Praise the Lord!

Keep holding His hand! <3
