| God's Healing for Beth Gore 2 months ago, I was given a fatal diagnosis. OK ... where to begin?? If you look at the September 8, 2008 entry of "Today's Reflections", you'll see the background ... but the quick version is ... pulmonary hypertension and several heart defects. Symptoms kept getting worse and worse. People typically live about 1-3 years after diagnosis. September 23 I had a heart cath. They were looking for 3 things. 1) Pulmonary hypertension cause and measurement. 2) Blockages or dead parts of my heart. 3) Irregular heartbeat. Each of these diagnoses had at least 2 tests confirm them. God did a miracle! While in there, the Cardiologist was unable to find any of these troubles. He said I had NO blockage, NO dead part of my heart, NO pulmonary hypertension. Period. In fact, the Cardiologist said, "You're going to live 150 years." I said, "I'll take it!" The only thing that is left is the irregular heartbeat. Such a minor, minor thing. I'm wearing a 30 day event heart monitor to try to catch what is going on. I've caught a resting heart rate that goes as high as 212 and as low as 29. Makes me think of the 3 little bears. Too hot, too cold, just right. Of course, I get a metaphor out of this. I'm a very, very extreme person. I love life. I'm a passionate person. Whatever I feel is going to be BIG. I'm angry BIG. I'm sad BIG. I'm happy BIG. etc. They're thinking I might need a pacemaker. I was wondering what a heavenly pacemaker will be. I'd love to be in perfect balance and harmony with God and life. Not too much, not too little ... just right. So Dear Lord ... how do I become Baby Bear? Just right. Beth Gore October 11, 2008 |
| God's Healing for Zoe Zoe was born with a condition called Hemifacial Microsomia with Goldenhar Syndrome. (Click the words to read more about it.) Basically, she is missing bones and half of her face is growing at a different rate than the other. Medically, they only hope to be able to maintain all her functions (such as breathing, swallowing, hearing, seeing). Cosmetics are way down on the list. In talking with the Surgeons, they say they can do fairly well on everything but the eyes ... there's absolutely nothing that can be done with them. If you notice on the photo to the right, Zoe's right eye is slightly smaller than the left eye. This is getting more and more pronounced and would continue if God didn't intervene. On August 8 (the date of this picture), we went to Houston to have her prayed for by the Hunter's. As Andrea took this photo, I said, "This will be her 'before' picture". Sure enough, as we got home, we noticed her eye was getting bigger and higher. God healed her eye!! Thank you Lord. ("after" picture below!) Written by Beth Gore August 8, 2008 |
