FINALLY! Prayer Journey Across America Continues...Again

PRAYER JOURNEY ACROSS AMERICA
DAY 17
9/25 2013

It is a miracle that I can even type this article 
for you tonight. 

Every word I type is aggravating my recent injuries, and very painful. I have just finished enduring 4 days of excruciating agony due to an unplanned shoulder/neck/arm injury while moving heavy things in my U-haul trailer (including a heavy copy/printer machine) looking for things to donate to CORRECTING GAITS Christian ranch in Minnesota.

Sometime on the 21st, this accident happened quite unexpectedly. The pain began gradually after all my lifting and straining with heavy objects in my trailer. And continued to worsen and increase until it was almost unbearable. Sleep at night has been almost unbearable, with every  movement, even simply laying down, bringing forth more muscle spasms, contractions, numbness and tingling and PAIN.

These past four days have been days of unrelenting pain and frankly, agony.

Having a background in home health care, I performed research to discover what actually happened. Based on tenderness, swelling and pain surrounding my left rotary cuff (where arm meets shoulder) I determined that I had inadvertently torn some tissue there while lifting. Others nerves and muscles have been affected, with tenderness and swelling, including in my neck as well. Even numbness and tingling as well, where the swelling had blocked the nerves.

Unfortunately, I had to exit CHANGING GAITS prematurely and go the closest WHOLE FOODS MARKET in St Paul, to get the proper pain relieving liniments to rub into the affected areas to help alleviate the terrible and never-ending pain.

I was not looking forward to driving! But when you are a woman alone on the road, you have no other choice but to look to God for HELP and grace, and push ON. How badly I felt about leaving Guy and his wonderful ranch hands prematurely! 

But I DID provide a great Sunday dinner for all of them before leaving. Had to cancel the big barbecue cookout I was going to do for them, and instead go purchase some rotisserie chickens and salads and deserts to bless them for all they do. My friend Cathy, who works with them, had to drive me to pick them up.

Sadly, I realized with this unexpected health problem developing, that I would have to cut short my plans for a more extensive journey on the way back to be with my brother, and go the most direct route so I can completely rest my back and shoulder and arm as soon as I get there.

I had originally planned to go the longer route that would take me near Washington DC and FEMA REGION THREE to pray at this important time in our nation. But God hears our prayers for ANY region, no matter WHERE we are. 

I just don't have the strength at this time, and do not feel it wise to prolong my time on the road with health issues like this. Safety is a major concern for me as a woman alone on the road. And so, I am proceeding directly to my brother the closest route at this time.

I am now forced to type with one hand at this time...my left shoulder and arm just doesn't want to cooperate...pain getting worse as I type with both hands. Darn!

I apologize to my readers who requested postcards...I have DOZENS OF THEM! And stamps too. I mailed out the first batch a while ago. But dealing with this pain and incapacitation has taken everything at this time. After I arrive, I can then safely focus on doing more articles and mailing out more postcards as I recover gradually. One health article said the damaged muscle in my neck may take 1-4 weeks to completely recover from the pain and injury.

And the rotary cuff injuries may be even more complex with it's own set of particular problems, including weakness and numbness.

Every day I have had to battle the pain and uncertainty of everything that just went wrong health-wise, with the power of PRAYER AND THE WORD OF GOD...MILE AFTER MILE. Accompanied by stopping to rest frequently. But again, when you are a woman traveling alone, you have no other choice but to take the hand of Jesus and battle it out until victory is achieved and you safely arrive at your final destination at last.

So please pray for my health issues at this time with me. Secretly, I am hoping no one notices me here in this truck stop restaurant, desperately trying to type this to you all before my strength gives out due to pain, as I periodically pause to try an adjust my position to alleviate this.

And THANK YOU ALL for your support that made this PRAYER JOURNEY ACROSS AMERICA all possible! THANK you! God BLESS you ALL! I will thank you all individually when I get to my destination and have recovered enough to write and send postcards to all who helped enable me to do this.

Please, just pray for this final day of driving tomorrow. 

Pray for a total healing miracle so that I can get proper sleep at night...including tonight (Weds nite). Pray for strength for the final day of driving (maybe two in fact, depending on how long I can drive each day.)

Pray for my safety as well. Thank you all for your prayers and support!

UPDATE on Brother John: TRAGIC ACCIDENT

John's home in NC

Today,  I have just spoken to my brother John for the second time, and he informed me of a tragic accident that happened in recent months. He didn't want to tell me about this yesterday, the first time I called and talked to him in many months. (He had been relocated without my knowledge and I had not known how to get into contact with him.)

John fell from his wheelchair, landing on his pelvic bones. Being over 6 feet tall, he is a heavy person. His weight caused him to fall hard, and he suffered a compound fracture of his pelvic bone. It was so serious, that his bone punctured the skin and protruded from his skin. This required emergency surgery. Screws were inserted to hold the compound fractures together and to repair the skin injury.

However, John finally admitted to me that he is in constant pain now, and believes that more surgery and repair must be performed. While previously mobile in a wheelchair, he can no longer sit in a wheelchair due to pain, and is confined to bed now most of the time. This is serious, because it can lead to bedsores (decubitis) and other complications. 

Although trusting fully in Jesus his Savior, John is very discouraged now. 

He was playing Christian songs on his guitar for Jesus and entertaining people in every nursing home he has been in. But when I asked him today if he could play his guitar, he replied sadly that he could not, because he cannot sit up now in a wheelchair as before. I could sense the discouragement in his voice today. 

Even as he moved to put the phone down by his bedside as we hung up, I could hear him groan in pain. Physical movements we often take for granted, are almost impossible for him now in his sad condition.

I realize now that I must relocate to be close to him at this time, and to ensure that he gets the proper medical care he needs as well. I have been a professional home health care provider prior to these past 18 years of journalism, and I understand the nature of his situation completely.

Thankfully, I have a wonderful support group of Christian friends in that region, who have known me for years, and who are praying for John and for my trip to be successful to return to assist him.


SO WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?

Bug-out bag
Much is being published across the Internet about preppers and preparing to survive the coming onslaught under martial law. People are being told to prepare their "bug-out" backpacks in case they have to flee from their homes into the hills, to escape the coming AMERICAN HOLOCAUST.

Well, I have my professional backpack and supplies for such a "bug-out" scenario. I have been prepared in many ways for the coming times I have reported on all these years.

However, as we increasingly hear reports of martial law looming closer this year, I now face a dilemma that many of you, my readers, may also face. 
How can you flee from your home to a remote place of safety, when you have loved ones in nursing homes or with physical handicaps??? Or when you have family members who are sick or incapable of mobility, who may be confined to wheelchairs or beds?

Do we simply rationalize what we have to do to save ourselves, and then abandon infirmed loved ones, to then die alone and forsaken in the coming martial law horror? 

Is this what Jesus would do to others...or to us? How would any one of us want to be treated if WE were sick, weak and bedridden?

I have written previously about what the NWO plans to do to "useless eaters" which include the handicapped, the elderly and the chronically ill. As the NWO planners admitted in a NWO seminar held in Denver, Colorado, some years ago, such handicapped people would helped to "humanely die." 

Translated: sent off to the camps to be TERMINATED. Just like Hitler's ruthless Illuminati-inspired Nazi Reich did to the mentally and physically handicapped.

And now, my brother told me that he needs me to be with him. 

With him...but also in a region wherein I battled for years with the satanists of those mountains, and wherein my life was continually endangered. 

With him...but in a region that I have reported has it's prisoner boxcars with shackles all in place, complete with military guillotines and satanic altars for good measure (the satanists in the mountains of NC are rabidly passionate for their NWO). 

And to be with my brother to possibly face martial law in a region like this, trapped because he is immobile. However...

For me as a Christian, there is obviously only one acceptable response in the sight of Almighty God, and that is to go to be with him in his crisis. And remain with him through his crisis. My beloved brother remains helpless in a hospital bed. I cannot let him down.

I am sitting here writing this report, thinking deeply about the future. All of this has happened so suddenly. What does this all mean now for me? 

Practically speaking, it means no bugging out on foot to safety when it all comes down. It means that whatever he is forced to endure due to his condition, I will go through with him. He cannot be permitted to suffer...or to die...alone. Jesus would not want him to, nor would I. Jesus wants to be with us when we go through our crises, and He also wants us to be with each other whenever hardships afflict His body of Believers.

This is what Christian love and commitment is all about. We are to love as Jesus loves, and to lay down our lives for one another.

The most important thing in our Christian lives, is never saving our lives. Rather, it is to lay down our lives for whatever God calls us to do for His glory, at any given time. We are called furthermore to lay down our lives in Christian love for one another. This is the testimony of Jesus in this dark world: LOVE.

"For God so LOVED the world, that He gave...." 

"By this shall all men know that you are My disciples, when you have love for one another." We are taught in the Bible, that there is no greater love in this world, than that of laying down our lives one for another.


I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!
Somehow, I know that my Father in heaven has a wonderful plan for both of us in all this situation. I believe in A MIRACLE GOD with whom ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

Throughout my many years of Christian outreach, I have seen the miracle hands of God raise people up out of beds of sickness and affliction. I have heard the testimonies of Jesus raising the dead as well. I was as good dead when Jesus saved and healed me completely in 1971. 

We must all refuse to limit God by UNBELIEF, because the miracle hands of God are compelled to move on the basis of OUR FAITH. As Jesus said, ALL things are possible to them that believe! So believe God with me!

I DARE to believe God FOR A MIRACLE for my brother John, and for myself as well. As dangerous as it was for me to minister in the past in that region, I have no fear in returning to those mountains of NC. My Bible tells me that satan has been defeated by our Savior Jesus Christ, and in Him we have VICTORY over all the forces of hell.

Apparently God still needs my Christian witness in that part of America. Hopefully, my witness will double in power, because I am trusting God for a mighty miracle of healing for my Christian brother. We will both be witnesses for Jesus in that region!


I believe God!

Please pray for both of us
in this challenging journey of faith. All of this has happened suddenly. God has a reason in allowing all of this, and I suspect that, once again, it is all FOR HIS GLORY. His ways are higher than ours. Only He can see beyond the veil of our limited understanding. Please join me  in this faith adventure, through your faith and prayers!

************************************

Please pray for emergency financial support to come in at this time. It will cost around $600.00 (according to MAPQUEST estimate) just for gas to return to NC to help my brother. 

You can contribute to this emergency fund by clicking below on PAYPAL:
                                                   


Thank YOU so much for caring at this very difficult time in my life...and in his as well. Your love, prayers and support will help to make a miracle possible 
for us both today.
