I am struck with the preciousness of life and the invulnerable center that can be found within our most vulnerable moments.

On Thursday I was carrying my breakfast dishes into the kitchen when my feet flew out from under me and I fell with all my weight striking the open dishwasher door breaking the door. I immediately had a knowing that I was badly injured and I started to lose consciousness. I immediately cried out to God for help. I was literally seeing stars as I felt myself slipping away and I was fighting to stay conscious because I knew I needed to get help. I knew I was going into shock and my skin got clammy in a cold sweat. I continued to fight to stay awake and conscious. I continued to ask God to please help me.

Suddenly I noticed that I felt my life force returning and strengthening.  I was able to crawl to the couch and lay down. I noticed that my hand was numb and I couldn't move my fingers. I started to state the promises of God to myself to strengthen my faith. I started to pray again and I noticed that the numbness started to lessen. Then when searing pain started I prayed for healing and the pain was replaced with peace and a sensation of energy flowing through my body. I KNEW God was working within my body!!! I started thanking and praising God. I attempted to move a finger and slowly but surely I was able to start moving my fingers. I again spoke the promises of God, only this time I was able to proclaim them out loud with great passion!

I took a deep breath and gingerly straightened my arm. I decided to "arise and walk" and act as if I was completely whole and healed and knew that God would then make it a manifest reality. I was amazed I could change into my running clothes without pain. I started down to the beach and at first I was tentative with my left arm. Yet as I walked and continued to thank and praise God, I noticed that by the time I was coming home that my arm felt completely normal!!!

I went to a centering prayer group and was able to tell my miracle story which strengthened my healing and strengthened the group member's faith. I went to the hospital and saw patients with a renewed vigor and passion for bringing the healing presence of Spirit to all who are suffering or in pain. I woke up the next morning and was amazed that I had no marks or bruising and just a little tenderness. I wish I could say the same for the dishwasher door!

There is only one POWER and PRESENCE and it is always present within you. It is closer than your very breath!
