The Lord is my Old Faithfull / is that ok to say

Dan and I have had a blast doing our road trip to Yellowstone Park. We planned to do this about 3 years ago then I got  sick and we put it off.
This time we planned it and I got sick and we said no better time then the present. So off we went we took our little Rosebud trailer and we packed her full of great things to much on, comfortable cloths and our computers :) Yes we love our computers. Some of you take your pets on your vacations we take our computers. Much neater, nothing to feed and nothing to clean up after.

I went to Yellowstone park with my Grand Parents and my Parents when I was 7 or 8. There is a lake called Jenny Lake at the base of the Grand Tetons ( GRAND for a reason ). I would tell Dan about it every once in a while. I really was impressed as a child how beautiful that lake was. So we had to make a trip to the lake.

 We stayed a couple of Nights in Jackson Wyoming and looked that area over. For me I would have to say the part of the trip that had the most impact on my was the little church in the Tetons. I have also told Dan about this church for years and the view it had out its little window. How you could feel the Lord there. Well It has not changed. We got there and it looked exactly as I had remembered it. Walking up there is a big bell. I rang that bell and it echoed all around us. .     

We went inside and again it was just like I remembered except one thing. This time the presence of the Lord was more than I have ever felt any where ever.

I wanted to talk about what I was feeling, but could only cry. I felt like the Lord was telling me again to ask him for a healing, from my cancer and from my pain. It felt like I had the biggest lump in my throat and I could not speak so only tears came. Finally I told Dan through choking tears that I felt like I was to pray for a healing. He prayed for me and I cryed some more.

 

We walked around and looked at the rest of the building that they had there, but I felt like I had just been covered in the Lords presence like a blanked. I felt it the rest of the day.

 

I have had what would in the begging a small spot under my right breast on a rib ( it felt like ) that would just hurt every now and then. Then it became more and more. Then I had surgery about 3 weeks ago to get rid so some scar tissue that was making things look bad and hurt. When I woke up this spot was much worse. It hurt the most. Over the days following the surgery it seemed to be getting a bit better. When we got on our trip it went into hyper drive and just was so painful. I was taking something for the pain every 4 hours. My radiation Doctor said it could have been caused by the radiation. All I knew was that I wanted it gone.

 

We still walked through all the majestic beauty of the Yellowstone Park and kept saying how amazing the Lord was for creating all of it. We saw so much natural beauty. If you ever get the chance to go it should be on everyone bucket list.

We came across a whole heard of Bison. Dan was reading on a sign about them when 2 of them started a grunting and head butting each other just on the other side of the ( flimsy ) sign . Everyone stepped back and Dan stood still taking pictures.

We had such a wonderful time. It was just as I imagined it would be.

But wait

This is not the end of my story. When we got back to our home in Bend. Again I felt like I was suppose to ask the Lord to heal me. So I prayed that he would. I woke up at about 7am the next morning and I still had that dang pain just as bad as ever. I went back to bed and woke up at 8:30 and yes it was GONE. I am praising the Lord for that.

 

 I believe that he wants us to keep bring our issues to him. His word says to come to his throne continually. So I am not bugging him I am only doing what he has asked of me. and Yes I woke up again today with no pain and had to share it. Thank you JESUS

P.S It was our 30th wedding anniversary on August 21st. The Lord gave me the answer to my prayers over 30 years ago and he is still answering them.
