“He
himself bore our sins in his body
on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” I Peter 2:24
We have
been praying for some time now for Paul Blumert who has been suffering
tremendously because of brain cancer, and the fall-out of the various
medications and treatments.
It is a joy to report that there
has been much improvement! The tumor has
shrunk significantly, some of the side effects are no longer a problem, his
pain and nausea are much reduced, and overall, he is much more comfortable and
able to be at home with his family. They are so grateful for all your prayers,
and of course, most of all, they are so thankful for God’s healing and
presence.
Today I had the pleasure of hearing a
report of a miracle. A friend who we
have often prayed for at A Healing Place told me that God intervened in her
life this week to “make a way where there was no way.” She has been struggling with many health
issues this past year, as well as facing a dire financial situation. In light
of these things, she did not renew her driver’s license when it came due based
on what her ophthalmologist told her after eye surgery. She did want to keep
her car, however, so that other people could use it to take her places. When
the DMV renewal came up, she was informed that it needed to be repaired before
it could be smogged. She did not have money to fix it, so she let the
registration lapse. In an amazing turn of events that were orchestrated by God and
unknown to her at the time, her vision improved enough to drive, a friend who
passed away recently gave her money for the purpose of repairing her car, and a
DMV staff woman whom she did not know, served as the physical vessel to work a
miracle at DMV. My friend was able to
pass both the driver’s license vision and driving test, pay for her car to be repaired,
and pay the reduced fee to register her car and restore her driving privilege. In
her words, “God is so awesome! He knew I
was sad to be in that situation and that I really wanted to keep my
independence and have a car, even though I came to a point where I didn’t ask him for that, but just accepted that I was
done driving. But I guess he has other plans for me!”
