I had my healing service at the church this afternoon. It conformed to the passage from James 5:13-14.
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
I found it quite emotional. It only took about five minutes. But very shortly, after it started I found myself sobbing almost uncontrollably. I guess I found it cathartic. It was like one year of fighting my parasite reached a crescendo and the emotional dam broke this afternoon.
I continued to sob for a few minutes afterwards. I hope the people at the church don’t feel less of me. In retrospect, it’s a little embarrassing. But what’s done is done.

It's OK to tear up. We both did, as did several others that joined us at the alter rail.
We felt we were all touched by the hand of God
at that moment. As we are sure you were also.
Our Faith is stronger than ever from todays experience.
Healing isn't reserved only for the body.

There is nothing wrong with that. We are all praying for a complete remission and for you to regain full health. - Reb & Nora
