MIRACLES

He sent me a miracle from heaven, my beautiful 2-year old granddaughter, Meridyan, who would prance around me while I lay still and pat me and say boo-boo, and kiss me better and ask me if I need a band-aid. One day while I was sitting up having coffee she looked me in the eyes,  knelt down in front of me and kissed my feet! "There, Aubay", she said "now your all better!"  Im telling you I was in the direct presence of Jesus Christ at that moment - she was only two years and 9 months away from heaven. I know! It has been a great pleasure to be in His presence many times throughout my illness and to further my walk with God. I feel blessed and reassured to know He has everything that is going on under His Control.

God sent me this confirmation:

Psalm 28:7

The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart trusts in Him and I am helped.

Praise Be To God Almighty, Praise His Mighty and  Awesome Name Jesus! Amen!

H E S E N T A N G E L S

I had a major relapse of Multiple Sclerosis in February of 2001 (see My Story) and I thought God was sending me angels, like on "Touched By An Angel" -(The Best Show on TV), Andrew in particular, the angel of death. I thought they were coming to get me to take me to Heaven and I woke up at night at every sound expecting angels to be there for me. I even told my children not to be frightened. If the angels were coming for me I was ready to go with them and I would not put up a fight to stay down here because I want to be in heaven more than anything else I know. Well God heard me, and He listened and He sent me Angels.

First He sent me angels to watch over me while I slept on the pull-out couch in the family room, so my husband could get a good nights sleep in our bedroom for work the next day. Nothing happened to me during the night while we slept apart. In fact for the first time in a long, long time I slept through the night and have ever since. In the daytime He gave me angels who came into my home to care for me while my husband was at work - my family, my homecare workers and the nurses who came to administer my medications through intravenous. He gave me angels to watch over our home while my husband was at work: men who shoveled our driveway and would not take money. An angel from the insurance company who measured our roof and assessed the damage from a devastating winter storm and who warned us of impending roof collapse if we didnt get the snow cleared off soon. He sent angels who came and helped clear off the roof and cleaned up the water in the laundry room from a leak in the roof caused by the storm, which happened while I was sitting underneath an IV pole hanging from the ceiling in our family room and home alone unable to walk. Then gradually He sent me my healing. Day by day I could get up, walk from the couch to the bathroom, then down the hallway to the living room and finally the front door, then out into the world again.




 

TESTIMONY OF WENDY JEAN SWANSON of the LORD JESUS CHRIST IN MY LIFE

I have known since I was a very young girl, probably 5 or 6 years old that the Lord had a special place in my life. I was very aware of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, because my mother taught me to love Jesus since birth. I was baptized as an infant into the Roman Catholic Faith, the faith of my parents, grandparents, great & greater still greater grandparents on both sides of my family. (As a matter of interest my mother was able to trace our familys 350-year Canadian ancestry past the 1600s back into France and England due to the very fact of our being Catholics and having Church records dating that far back..) So you could say it was inborn or ingrained in me to believe in the Holy Trinity and have a very close and loving relationship with Almighty God our Father, and Jesus Christ His Son. As I grew and matured in Christianity I also came to know personally his Holy Spirit. At my Confirmation as a young teenager I was very aware of the gifts I would receive when the Spirit of God entered my life, when the bishop would lay hands on me and pray a blessing for the Holy Spirit to be with me, guide me on my Christian Journey: and He did and I listened to Him for many years. I attended Catholic schools. I went to Church regularly; in fact more than most. In the seventies when I attended high school there was something of a great Christian Revival in the Catholic Church - sort of wed better keep up with the times or we would lose our young people kind of thing. So we got to bring our guitars to Mass, and sing and praise God using some of the popular songs of the day to share with others. We even got to share a few songs from the radio and rock stars too! We had a lot of fun in Church those days and I never missed mass or holy days or Fridays at church. I even attended youth camps in other denominations and always had fun! However I never got caught up in Glory! (And I dont mean to die.)

At the age of 20 or so, I turned my back on church, religion and the persistent voice of the Holy Spirit, who never stopped His words from entering my mind no matter how stubborn I had decided to become. Why? I honestly now do not know. At the time I am sure I could have given you a great anti-religious argument, but now its strange. I really dont remember what my arguments were then. Although I do remember how badly I felt making those arguments I knew deep in my heart they were not true. But what happened to change me and turn me back to the person I used to be? A devastating relapse of Multiple Sclerosis and a song! An illness and a simple song is all that it took to change me back after twenty-five years of being without the fulfillment of being with God, talking with Him, walking with Him and listening to Him like I havent done since I was a child. Thank God for that song and the man who wrote it with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Wayne Watson "For Such A Time As This".

Talk about getting caught up in Glory! Gods love just comes pouring out of this mans writings and singing and he is a great inspiration for such a time as this. People are finding meaning in their lives again from hearing his songs on the radio and being profoundly touched by Jesus through Waynes songs! Im sure glad I was, and Im glad I listened!

When I watched TV on Sunday evenings I never missed "Touched By An Angel" (the best show on TV) and it was here I first heard the song "For Such A Time As This" on the episode about slavery in the Sudan; but at that time I did not hear the message. A few months later I ordered the "Touched By An Angel Christmas CD" and when it came I played it, enjoyed it thoroughly and started downloading it onto my computer. While reading the case I thought, "I wonder if they have a website" and found it. Surfing through TBAA website I found the episode that "For Such A Time As This" came from and then I remembered. Ah-ha I thought, now I know why this song sounded so familiar!

I could not stop playing this song and listening to the words and trying to find out more about Wayne Watson. I was right on the verge when tragedy struck me once again.

On December 20, 2000 my bladder stopped receiving signals from my nerves due to damage to the myelin sheath caused by Multiple Sclerosis, and I became incontinent and devastated. You see I had been praying since my diagnosis in 1998 asking God to use my disease for His Glory not for my deeds. I also prayed not to become incontinent. I had been blind, deaf, unbalanced, sore, burning pins & needles. So tired that I couldnt see straight with blurred vision. So weak I could not lift a bag of potatoes. Unable to work long, and I was hardly able to walk. But my bladder still worked. I wondered at every checkup why they kept asking me about bladder and bowel trouble? I would always answer, "No problems." Then my cousin called and she told me she was incontinent. (She had been diagnosed with MS 6 weeks after me and we are the same age.) I started praying "Lord whatever you do to me Please do not make me incontinent please Lord dont I couldnt take it, Lord I am too young... Please Lord whatever you do; please!" But the Lord was stubbornHe wouldnt listen to me!

I learned I would have to take medications for the incontinence, which meant I could no longer drink alcohol (Thank God For That), which meant the way I used to handle my problems was no longer a viable alternative for me. I got through Christmas and New Years dryer than a festered fart, as my husband and his brother would say, but I did all right I guess. I was in so much pain from my bladder I didnt really care if I had a drink of anything or not. The pills I take make me so dry my hands are scratchy, my feet are scaly and my throat is parched. I am dryer than the Sahara Desert all the time and must constantly have a bottle of water with me. I guess its true when youre in the desert theres no water but when youre on the sea you cant drink either. Theres no happy medium.

Do you think through all of this I was thinking of anything to do with God, His Son or His Holy Spirit? Youre right, not too much, however I had an inkling! So about the end of January we again thought we had everything under control with the medications, no drinking, some religion, but again we were wrong. . . and devastated.

On February 1, 2001 I awoke out of my sleep in my normal searing pain from bladder, feet, head, arms but I could not feel my leg! In fact I could not feel anything from my chest on down. Lying in my bed I was struck by how quiet it was. How odd I thought on first awakening - this is pretty weird! I had just exclaimed to my husband and his friend not three nights before when we were whining about something insignificant: "How would you like to be me and never know when you will wake up one morning paralyzed"? I probably went to bed that night and prayed to God not to let me become paralyzed too! But He was stubborn and He didnt listen to me!

Being flat out on your back sure gives you a great perspective on ceilings! But seriously, if God had not put me there I would never have come as far as I have in my journey back to Him. It was the BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME!

At the time I was laid so low that the only thing I could do was ask Him to help me "Lord help me with my pain Please Lord, Lord its only you and I here. Can you please help me have a bowel movement. Lord I need you to listen to me, please help me. Lord Im scared. Am I going to die? Lord I dont want to be alone, please stay with me."

And the Lord answered, "Have I ever left you or forsaken youI was always with you, I never left."

"No Lord you never left me, I left you and Im so sorry please forgive me."

"You are already forgiven You are my child and I am your God. I love you and want you to be blessed and prosper and have good health".

"Yes Lord but you have already blessed me with a loving family, a good husband, two beautiful and good daughters and a blessing from Gods own heaven; our granddaughter Meridyan, and you have already given me over 30 years of good health. I can be satisfied with that."

"You have no idea what blessings are just wait and see", He said with a chuckle. And I have seen blessings that I had no idea were coming!

COME LISTEN, ALL YOU WHO FEAR GOD, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR ME.

I cried out to Him with my mouth, His praise was on my tongue.  If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened, but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.  Praise God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me.

Psalm 66:16-20

THE MIRACLE OF THINGS EXPLAINED

On October 15, 2002-my birthday, I was given this word from God. Thank you Jesus! I love you!

(For Study: John 9:1-5)

...but this (blindness from birth) happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.

My MS happened so that the work of God; His sustaining grace, comfort, support, His strength, mercy and love for me and His healing power might be displayed in my life so others will see His Almighty Power in my life.  In my suffering I set an example for others. I depend on Him to get me through the days. He has supplied my needs as He sees them, He has given and proven miracles so that my faith will be shown to be true to others and that when they see me they will see the love of Christ Jesus who saves us out of all our trials and sufferings.

Alleluh Yah! Praise Be to God!

After suffering greatly with painful troubles since June 2002 until the present I still have no official diagnosis of exactly what is wrong with my digestive and bowel system. It is the insidious MS (my nurse says), the disease that has no diagnosis. All the test results come back negative and no one knows why these things are happening to you...but don't worry...it will pass...and you lose more precious time waiting, being ill, waiting. I thank God he is using this devastating illness to let me get to know Him better. Thank you Jesus! I love you! I Can Pray! Thank You Lord!

Believe me, as I can tell you truly, there is more to this life than the physical.  You don't have to do all your living in the world!  In fact 300% more of our life is lived in the spiritual world than the physical world!Amen!

There is much much more that the Lord Jesus Christ has done and is doing in mylife and I suppose if I were to write them all down the biggest library in the world could not hold all the books! Amen

Praise the Lord, O my soul, all my inmost being, praise His Holy Name.  Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits-who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.
Psalm 103:1-3
