I'd like to share an experience I had a few days ago.
Back in 1996 I crushed a vertebrae in my back, T8. I did significant damage to the nerves, and also cracked three ribs on each side. I could not breath in an upright position for a few months, and getting anywhere was a long slow process. Although I went back to work one day before six months was up (to the doctors utter disbelief and amazement), each year, about once a year since, my back reminds me of that event by going into a spasm/seizure which leaves me laying in bed debilitated for three to five days.
Three days ago, my back went into this spasm. It had an actual sound like something crunching/tearing, and the pain shot straight through me to my core. I was afraid to move in case I couldn't. I was afraid for my daughter since I have her to look after, and no one else to do this for me. I immediately rejected that this could/would happen to me at this time, and thought to change my reality. I grounded myself and prayed to change the reality to one in which this was not happening, and within an hour, there was nothing left of what at one time would have been days immobilized in bed.
Faith didn't move a mountain, but it did something more important for me at this point in time. I am thankful.
