Movement of God (3)

My mission field was the school system.  When I left I knew GOD had something else for me to do.  I never know what until HE begins to use me.  I now know it is in the medical community.  Since retiring from the school system I had lots of problems with arthritis.  It runs in my family and now it has found me. 

 The arthritis is in my back neck and hips.  My right hip is really bad but the x-ray shows the left is worst than the right.   My left knee feels like it is giving out at times.  However my right hip feels like it is bone to bone.  I have developed a permanent limp because of it.  It hurts to walk but I do walk the dog.  My dog has been a blessing to me. 

It causes me to take my mind off of the pain.  What Satan uses for evil, GOD is using for good.  On March 17th it was a beautiful day so I decided I would try to walk some.   I was able to walk about 30 minutes.   Before my hip problems I used to walk an hour everyday.  I love to walk and miss it so.  At 3:10PM I had to meet with my OBGYN for my annual Pap test.  I could hardly walk when she saw me going into the exam room.  She asked me about my problem.  I began to tell her about it and the Spirit of GOD came upon me.  I began to cry(compassion of Christ) as I was telling her my story.  Whenever this happens I have to explain how GOD is using me.   She began to cry as well.  I apologized to her saying it was the Jesus in me that has that effect on people.  I shared with her about Jesus and how HE was using me.  She had compassion on me  too.  She said I didn’t have to suffer like that.  She would send her nurse in to give me a pain shot in my hip.  She said it would kick in within the hour but it would only last a day.  I was grateful to her.  I gave the nurse who took my vital signs and her a bookmark.  GOD has never used me to witness at the medical centers but that has changed.  I have a feeling HE is coming back sooner than we think.  HE is using me to witness to people everywhere I go.

When I left and was driving home I meditated on how GOD is now sending me to the different specialist.  He is using my health problems to witness to them.  I know HIS ways are not our ways.  I can’t walk like I love too, and have a limp but GOD is getting the glory and that’s what counts anyway. 

GOD is moving and doing marvelous things through those saints who are available and willing.  I have learned to just submit to HIS will.  HE determines how HE wants to use us.  Submission is hard for many people.   How HE chooses to use us is not how we would like to be used.
