My Testimony
Twenty years ago I was diagnosed with an incurrable LIver disease, the only possible treatment would be to have a transplant. I was devastated, why me was a regular cry. We belong to a lively Selby and I regularly received healing prayer, and I used to regularly pray for others to be healed. I have witnessed many wonderful things in my church. But over the years I began to feel that God had forgotton me. I felt that the liver disease was a pay back for something bad that I had done. I sat in the church every week listening to our Pastors sermons and feeling that Gods goodness was aimed at everyone else but not at me, my mind was in turmoil.
Anyway, I finally got the call to go to the hospital, a suitable liver had been found, I had been on the transplant list for three years and was seriosly ill at this stage. I was so frightened and I spent most of the night reading scripture.
The following morning, I was wheeled into the theatre still not liking the idea of what was about to happe n. Before I let the doctors start I had three things to say :-

Please will you make sure that I am fully asleep before you start
PLease will you make sure that I stay asleep during the surgery
Please will you make sure that I wake up after the surgery

I was assured that the surgeons would look after me. I as then being given the injection to send me off to sleep, I audibly said " Oh God, I cant be in control of this anymore, please take over " I felt a great peace come over me and that is the last thing which I remember. am sure that the surgeons thought that I was mad, who knows.

But I want to tell you this. I was walking out of that hospital two weeks later, I was told to expect to be there for up to 12 weeks. even dispite getting the super bug, I still recovered at a rapid pace. OK I still have my ups and downs and I dislike what the lifelong strong toxic meds do to me, but I am still here and God is always beside me. This was all down to the work of God, he had not forgiven me, He was doing things in His own way and in His own time.

I thank the surgeons for their skills and time, I also thank the doners family for my lovely new liver. But above all, I thank God for his miracle and his love.
