Last week, my teacher told my class a story about how she was spoken to by God when she was 14. That same day, i had a sport (confidential, sorry) and I've had a plantars wart on the bolttom on my foot for a few months now, and when i went to the doctor to get a cryosurgery to remove it, it was unsuccessful, and on that day at my sport, I was bare footed like usual, except i had tape over the wart. it had been feeling more odd, so i took a look at it, and I found that it had been speading in an inch radius. 5 new small warts had appeared. :/ so i got a little worked up, my mom was around, so i went to talk to her about it for a minute, and she said that i'd have to go through the surgery again. Cryosurgeries are very painful. you are awake when it happens, and the 1st one that i went to, they numbed the bottom of my foot with 2 needles, then scraped some of it off, then use a gas (i forget what it is called) to freeze it off. to be completely honest, I was frightened, anxious, and panicked. so like i was saying, after practice, i go home. i cryed in the car, and sobbed some more in my room. I decided to pray to God. I got my Bible, put my hands on it and just prayed and talked to God, asking him to guide me through it and to help me overcome my fears of it. a few minutes later, after i was done, i had a feeling to open my Bible, so i did to a page bookmarked with a bookmark from my churchthat i don't remember putting there with a scripture on it, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1-KJ so i skim over most of it, then close up the Book. I had a weird feeling that i shouldn't have closed It quite yet, so i opened it back up and i read the two pages and I found something that startled me: Ecclesiastes 11:10 "So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigor are meanningless." I sat, stunned, for just that day, my teacher said at age 14 (which is how old i am) she was spoken to byu God. I truly believe that that was a sign, for also, the Sunday before, the sermon was about: "It's not over until God says it's over" just like the way i felt that i had to open my Bible up one more time: I had missed something extravagant. I was completely and utterly awe struck. Even to this day.
Please pray for me for my foot. I had that other surgery and it went differently (better) because i went to a pro. but i am still healing. THANK YOU FOR READING! Your prayers are greatly appreciated.
