In the eyes of the army, a migraine is not a good enough reason to be discharged. The two men told us this fact when they said, “All we’re seeing are complaints and pain. There’s no real reason for us to release you from the army.” Mom and I were quite appalled at this because they honestly had no idea what I go through. This was the moment when I started praying as hard as I could.
Through it all, God was the one in control and He turned the entire situation around, before our eyes, when the head army doctor came into the room and told them to release me. For three years, the head army doctor has been reviewing my case and knew how much I suffer from these migraines.
When my mom and I left the army office for the last time, I literally felt a weight fall off my shoulders! I felt so free and could breathe as though I’d just been holding my breath for the longest time. God is so good!
Now, I have no idea what I should be doing with my life since I just got three years of it back. My main priority is my health, though none of the therapies I’ve been doing have seemed to be helping. I was again in bed all week this week and it’s honestly getting me down. It’s time to really press into what God wants to do and intercede for healing because I’m done being unwell! I earnestly want to live my life and no longer be restricted by these migraines and pain.
In order to do this, I need to make sure that God is truly in the middle of my life so that my focus is on Him and not on myself. I feel like I’ve fallen backward a little bit because I’ve stopped reading my Bible and praying every day. Habits are hard to break but easy to make. It’s definitely time for me to break this habit and get back into what the Father has planned for my life.
Thank you so much for all your prayers! I know that I wouldn’t have been released if God hadn’t performed that miracle. I’m so thankful that we have a God who hears our prayers and knows exactly what we need before we ask it!
1 John 5:14-15, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him."
Psalm 118:21, "I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation."
