One very full testimony! One of the biggest in my life!

In January, 2011 I was living with major back pain, cleaning 2 houses a day, just keeping on.  Dr.'s kept giving out pain meds. and saying my ex rays where fine.  I began Chiropractic care and found I was not fine. From the top to the bottom my spine was shifted to the left, pulling on my out of place hips. I had nerve damage all over.   I began the 3 times a week therapy, which was becoming emotionally draining for me.     Jan. 13, 2011 During my bible study Luke 13:11-13 stood out to me! "11and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 12When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” 13Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God." I posted this on FB and a friend Charlene, posted on it and said "this is our scripture, lets hold on to it!" So I did!  A few weeks went by and she brought me a card with these scriptures with a woman standing in the middle of a wheat field raising her hands as high as she could! I put it on my bathroom mirror.       About two months ago we had a guest speaker visit our Church.  He spoke about healing.  That Sunday morning I went to the front.  He was asking of who had certain problems and then to break the ice he was telling of when he asked if people had something certain this man raised his hand and he said you have this?  The man said "No I have a hernia!" As he was telling this to make people laugh my hernia just on the edge of my ribs became hard.. I froze, looking around at everyone laughing as I wanted to scream "SOMETHING IS HAPPENING"!!! I wasn't prayed over personally that morning.  Sunday night I thought Ok, I am going and I am just going to set back and watch. I am going to check all of this healing stuff out and to see what in the world happens to me that morning.  I did just that.    Monday morning I woke up and began praying that God would show me when it was my families time to be healed!  Our Kayla has ADHD and we were sick of putting up with it.  Sick of meds. Sick of pain in my body.  I had talked to a friend who's son has ADHD as well and she said "We are going to ask for prayer for him tonight, because he had a Dr.'s appointment the next day!" So I took that as ok, April tonight is your night, Kayla's is coming!      As I was getting ready for Church that night I looked up and re-sighted my scriptures and went on! Kayla went on to Children's Church, worship was great, and guess what he opened with for his teachings? He said "Don't wait?" Then posted on the big screen........ yeap... Luke 13:11-13!!!! So I said "yes, Lord it is my night!" But he stopped after he read "the spirit was upon the lady" and said "People are you getting this? That is ADHD!" I jumped up like a mad woman and ran and got Kayla!  We went down front and I wanted him to pray over us.  We stood there for a bit as he was praying over the group as a whole.  Kelley said are your ready to go back to our seat?  I said "NO, I am not healed and I am not leaving the front of this Church until I am!" Kelley was like "OK??" LOL 5 seconds later he walked straight to us! I have never felt the way I did, being prayed for that night! It was the most amazing thing to be touched by the Spirit! After he prayed he said that he sensed the spirit of fear on me and spoke against it.     I was full of fear!  One fear was of car accidents. Due to one I was in when I was 15. Well a few days after this night of prayer, my sister calls me at 7:45 that morning.  "April, go find Kendra she was in a wreck, she is somewhere on Hobart St..." I didn't know where, but I jumped in my car and was just driving! I found her and ran out of my car right up in the middle of it all like I was a police officer! When I got back into my car and I had realized what I just did, I had to apologize because that wreak meant nothing for Kendra, it was my test!     A month later I am down to going to the Chiropractor once a month like normal people, my pain is very low and that is only very seldom! Kayla has not been on any meds. for her ADHD since!!       God was preparing me! For what??? Well, Monday (May 23rd - the 25th) I was getting so emotionally connected to my TV... Yes, my TV! I would watch about the Joplin Tornado and cry my eyes out.  While I was working I had the Weather Channel on crying like a baby. Well that Wednesday the 25th I was thinking of how nice it would be, to be able to go there and help in some way.  But yeah, right. Or at least that is what I thought!!!     So that afternoon while on lunch I saw a friend post on FB that they needed someone to drive a U-Haul truck to Joplin full of supplies! I had just wrote on there that I wished I could.  Within minutes I was on the phone with her getting details!  She said "Why can't you April?" It was money.  We have had struggles of our own and this past month has been very hard for us. She said "Pray about it and I'll pray and if you are suppose to go God will make it happen!"     So I posted on FB and sent a few text asking for prayer for guidance and for financial ways to make this happen! Remind you I had not talked with Kelley AT ALL!!!  I called Kelley's mom, who said if you go I'll keep the girls! I called my mom, I think I called everyone! I had things in order before talking to Kelley! LOL  Another God thing is that Kelley had a 4 day weekend!! So 3:30 came and he had just got home! I ran in the house and said "Kelley, would you like to go to Joplin?" He was not to on top of it and as joyful as I as he was about to tell me what plans he had for this weekend, since it would add more to our finances. We talked about it, prayed and thought ok we will just call this man and get the details!      I did and he said "All the fiances have been taking care of girl, lets go!" I know I was glowing from head to toe!! I could feel it! So 2 days later we were heading out!  Remember my fears that our guest speaker sensed on me?  They where wreaks, BIG TRUCKS, AND TORNADO'S!!!!! Since I had had my experiences with them all 3 as a child............. I have never wanted anything to do with any of them!!! (It really touches me to be here today writing this out!) We are so blessed! I rode in the biggest truck I've been in since our wreak, I went smack dab in the middle of tornado destruction... I was able to be there for a friend during her wreak!! I DID IT!! God really took my fears!  I have no fears and learned I have no control!  Which is something I've been fighting for years!  When we left Friday we didn't know where we was going, what we were doing, or even where we were sleeping.. We took our tents, thinking that if we had to we could just sleep in it! Even thought at one time that we were going to have to sleep in the back of the truck after we unloaded it! All my control was gone and we just let God lead us and it was amazing!     With every little glitch in our trip (NO AC, Not all finances where taken care of, gas gauge didn't work correctly, and smallest things like that), it was amazing to get to do what God called us to do!  He was with us with every drop of sweat we had, every meal we ate, down to every guest of wind we went through on the way home! I could go on and on!  Thank you all for your donations, prayers, and support!  We were very blessed before this tornado even hit, by having our two girls, friends and family like you, a home, a Church, and food! That is why God called us!  He tested me to the max and he used all of you to help make my testimony today!  Thank you! Keep praying for us, because I still feel the need for us to do more!  Again not knowing what, when, or how but there is that feeling still burning inside of me!
