2 Corinthians 4:17
How has God used your pain to reach others?:
In Nov 2014, my signif other at the time, BW, was horrifically attacked by her ex husband. It put her in the ICU/Burn Unit for a couple months, the next 6 years were nonstop recovery. I was the face and information side of her recovery and hospital stay. I did a half dozen interviews, worked with police, collaborated on an article, and law suits, a facebook page. I had people reaching out to her through me, to pray for her, to check up on her, I told her story dozens and dozens of times. While it was literally her Pain/Loss, I was the conduit that helped to ease it. I shared in the pain and loss, since we were living together at the time, her youngest daughter was with us also (7 when this started). Praying all the time for healing and strength. Having others pray for her, as well as her daughter and me also. I prayed more in 2014-2016 than probably I had at any other time in my life. Prayers were answered. Not just for me during that time. For those praying for her/us also.
[[4.13 Addition]] The power of prayer at that time was incredible. Dr’s told us in no uncertain terms that she was not making to the next morning (night of attack), would be in a coma the rest of her life (woke up from the coma 2 days later), and would be an invalid if she woke up fromt he come, with no basic motor skills (days after waking up she was feeding herself and taking pills from the smallest dixie cup you have ever seen, one by one, pushing them to the back of her mouth to swallow.) These are/were the BEST in the business Dr’s. They got it wrong day after day for 2 months.
Prayer works!
