Dear Friends,
I am back in New Jersey. My trip to Colorado Springs was phenomenal. My husband and I attended the 64th National Reunion of the 84th Division of the Railsplitters, the military unit that my father-in-law served in during World War II. I took along my laptop that I had
set up with a slideshow of over 300 pictures taken during the war of the various divisions of the Railsplitters that had been given to my husband at one of the Regional reunions . I also went equipped with a ViaVoice setup to interview some of the men as they were relating their stories to me. As it turned out, every time I sat down at a table where the men were relating their stories, I would get involved in a conversation that would unexpectedly turn into a spontaneous Christian counseling session. The entire five days was more of a ministry trip than a military unit reunion for me. The ministry time began the very first day we got there, when we sat around a table for dinner with the first group to arrive, and someone offered a prayer over our meal. From that point on it was one blessed, holy experience after another after another after another. Even when we went to the Air Force Academy, the concert we heard the first day we went there was sacred music by the organist, the brass ensemble, and the choral ensemble. The Memorial Service for the veterans of the 84th Division who died in the passed year was conducted by a pastor who even carried forth the Salvation Message in his sermon, encouraging the remaining men to make certain that when they die, they will be going to heaven, by making a commitment of their lives to Jesus. The Air Force Academy Chorus came to the Memorial Service and sang The Star Spangled Banner, God Bless America, and Amazing Grace.
One of the men I talked with at the reunion was the son-in-law of one of the veterans at the reunion. He told me that his wife was in a nursing home suffering from the later stages of MS. The day before I left to go to Colorado I was working with a young man in a local nursing home who also is dealing with advanced MS, who asked me if I would take him through the process I took myself through to obtain my own healing of MS. Another man was dealing with the end stages of cancer. He started telling me about a program he heard about to reverse the progression of cancer through green leafy vegetable juicing, drinking alkaline water, etc., etc., etc., and how he wanted to get started on a program like that, knowing that he has nothing to lose because of no further medical treatment being available for him. I shared my testimony of going through that kind of program myself, with him asking me to give him all the details I can on the steps I took. Then on the way home on the plane I was talking with a woman next to me who was telling me about her male friend, who has been in the slow agonizing process of recovering from a brain injury. I shared with her some of the strategies I developed for my own healing of a brain injury. I told her if I ever wrote a book about that particular healing it would be titled, I Think I’ll Boil an Egg Today.
By the time I got home, I realized that the Lord sent me on that trip to share with others what the Lord has shared with me, and that I really do have to take a season of my life to put my journeys of healing in writing for those who have an inner knowing that the Lord wants them healed, but who do not know exactly how to get started on the process.
Then tonight as I was checking my email, there were TWO responses to a post I had put on my blog in November 2007 about the workshop I had conducted on Domestic Violence. I shut down the blog right after that because of being involved in another recovery process. Apparently the blog is still visible for others to see, because, after all this time, tonight one person asked for more information on the topic of Domestic Violence, and the other person shared her own experience of applying the principles I share during the workshop and testifying to the change that came about in her life and in the life of her husband as a result.
I then began to wonder if the Lord is taking me in a direction where, instead of writing books on the various healings that I have been through, I will be sharing the concepts through blogging on my website.
so, I contacted my son and asked him to reactivate my blog on my website.
So it seems that life will be changing somewhat for me, as far as the ministry side of my life goes, with the addition of the new location, and bringing myself up to technological speed so I am blogging, and sharing on Facebook, and Twittering, etc., etc., etc. using not just the computer, but also have the availability to do all of the updating no matter where I am, by using the iPhone.
Your prayers as I work diligently to get myself up to speed with all this new (to me) technology are MUCH APPRECIATED.
Thank you for your prayers,
With LOVE from,
Sandi
