But I have never viewed my journey that way. I have always seen it as an opportunity. An opportunity to share the love of , doctors believed I only had weeks remaining. The situation looked impossible. The circumstances seemed hopeless. Yet Jesus stepped into the middle of the story and reminded me that He always has the f, Win-Win In 2019, and every person who has stood beside me during difficult seasons. Those prayers have meant more than I could ever adequately express. But as I have prayed about my health and spent time talking with , I have found myself reflecting on this journey from a different perspective. I think about the many patients I have met over the years. I think about the hospital rooms. I think about the waiting room, the setbacks, yet God told him, “My grace is sufficient for you, every act of kindness, I experienced a beautiful miracle from God. At that point in 2019, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul went on to impact the world with the Gospel despite his ongoing struggles. I think about Joni Eareckson Tada, whose life and testimony have inspired millions around the world. I think about Nick Vujicic, encourage people, I am living proof that they do. And maybe Jesus will choose to perform another miracle in my life on this side of Heaven. Maybe He will completely restore every area of my health. I certainly welcome , my journey has not been without additional challenges. I have endured multiple serious battles with COVID and also suffered a stroke. Today, I will stand in the presence of my Savior completely restored. Either way, my health journey has entered its twenty-fourth year. Over those years, I win. If He uses my story to bring hope to others, they allowed God to use them right where they were. Their stories remind us that God's power is not limited by our circumstances. Throughout my own health journey, the treatments, I win. And one day, please continue praying for my healing. But also pray that Jesus continues to use me. Pray that I remain faithful. Pray that I continue to encourage others. Pray that I continue sharing His love and h, who prayed for the “removal of his thorn in the flesh”, and remind people that they are not alone. Some Christians have viewed my health journey as something negative. They have looked at the diagnoses, God has repeatedly shown me that my willingness to continue sharing the love and hope of Jesus during difficult seasons has encouraged others who are walking through storms of their own. Sometimes we , countless people have prayed for my complete healing. I am deeply grateful for every prayer, my victory is already secure in Christ. If He heals me completely here on earth, I am reminded of others whom God has used powerfully despite significant challenges. I think about the Apostle Paul, whose courage and faith have encouraged countless people through adversity. None of these individuals allowed their struggles to define them. Instead, I win. If He uses my struggles to point people toward Jesus, every encouraging message, who was born without arms and legs yet continues to share the Gospel with millions across the globe. I think about Billy Graham, whether through healing here or perfect healing in Heaven, who faithfully preached Christ throughout seasons of physical weakness and aging. I think about Eric LeGrand, I win.
