Most of all, I am grateful to Jesus (My Great Physician) for the way He called me to rest in His arms and gave me the grace to trust in His leadership completely.  According to reports I’ve heard from some of you, my healing came quickly when compared to the norm. Hallelujah! 

When I speak with the neurologist next week, I will be able to better verify how the timeline of my healing compares with other cases of Guillain Berre Syndrome. (especially since i was diagnosed with a variant of Gullain Berre called Miller Fisher Syndrome)  This condition affects only 5% of guillain berre patients and the standard treatments for guillain berre have not shown to be as effective with Miller Fisher. But it appears as though the name “Miller Fisher”  has bowed to the Name above every name! (JESUS CHRIST)

At present, I have regained full (100%) feeling in my hands and feet and all over my body.  (ie There is no more numbness  or tingling)  In addition, my teeth and gums are no longer numb, and there is no longer any paralysis in my throat, vocal chords, tendons, or eye muscles…. And only slight vertigo.  I am still, however, very weak and have sporadic headaches.  My next test with the neurologist will be Thurs Nov 19.  

I went to Bill Johnson's meeting Monday night at Church of the Hills, and he said something that I felt applied to my situation.  He said when sickness comes, don't rely on principles alone, but listen for God's voice.  He said, sometimes we are called to fight and sometimes we are called to rest.  It's just a matter of what the Great Physcian is telling us to do.  (The whiz-bang here is that "resting" in Him IS FAITH... and therefore.... IS FIGHTING!)  "fight the good fight of faith". 

In my case, I felt the Lord calling me to rest in three ways while in the hospital and while my symptoms seemed to be getting worse and worse.....

1. He called me to rest in the fact that His leadership is perfect.  

2. He called me to rest in the fact that He has nothing but kindness in His heart for me.  (Actually I had a vision of the countenance of Jesus as I was undergoing a painful spinal tap on Monday, Nov 2) It wasn't an open vision, but in my mind I had a picture of the facial expression of Jesus  looking at me as a 5 inch needle was being stuck in my spine.  In Psalm 4:6 David calls out "Lord,  lift up the light of Your countenance upon me."  

When the doctor doing the procedure struck my main nerve causing my right leg to violently shake... AT THAT MOMENT, I CALLED OUT TO THE LORD UNDER MY BREATH.... AND THE LORD LIFTED UP THE LIGHT OF HIS COUNTENANCE UPON ME.  A countenance of such kindness, that I ceased to worry from that point on.   I  was able to rest in His perfect leadership, because He is so utterly kind! 

3.  Third, He called me to rest in the fact that my heart was free from offense.  Given that amazing revelation of His countenance,  I could say with a whole heart... "Jesus, no matter what happens, I am not offended with You. I am lovesick for You, Jesus."  

So, for the next 5 days, I had the Prayer Room from Kansas City playing through my computer speakers in my hospital room, and I felt cradled in His arms of Love.  At any point during the process, I was prepared to fight by confessing the promises.  But He never led me to do that.  Instead, He just wanted me to hook up to the IV of worship while the other IV was hooked up to my left arm. AND DAY BY DAY, HE BROUGHT ME THE BREAD OF HEALING.  Oh how He loves us!  

Anyway, that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!  Yeah God!!! 

Blessings... glenn
