It was March 20th, 2018, 7 days before surgery. I had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and my doctor said it was best to take out my thyroid having caught the cancer early. Had I known what I know now about healing and deliverance, I would have never had the surgery. Anger and unforgiveness in my body had caused the cancer and God was just starting to wake me up to all that was possible in the supernatural. Your body definitely keeps the score, but I digress.
This day started out like any other day. The kids and I got up, we made breakfast, and they were little (three and four) playing on the floor. They were running around, and I was doing my bible study preparation for BSF that week. We had prayer warriors from bible study praying for me. Maybe it was their prayers or maybe it was God being so kind and showing me his love. As I was reading and preparing for my group, a very bright light came through our beautiful front windows. Our home in Evergreen had picturesque windows all around the second floor illuminating the whole space. I truly loved all the natural light we had in that home. But this morning an all-consuming presence filled our home. It came through the front window and invaded the space. So much love came through the window, that I was undone. I had never felt that kind of love before and looking back I won’t experience that kind of love again till I get to heaven. In being so undone, I couldn’t stop sobbing. So much love was coming through the window and in a split-second decision I decided to grab my camera and take a picture. There was such a presence in the air, I knew in my bones someone, or God was in the room. God definitely touched me that day and I haven’t been the same. When his love invades your life, physically or in another way, you are changed forever. I knew in that moment my surgery and life were going to be okay. Little did I know two years later our lives would be completely upended and choosing to follow Jesus would cost me everything. God was preparing me and letting me know no matter what comes, it will be alright.
In the original photo, you can make out the shape of an angel or the presence of Jesus. When I showed my bible study group after the surgery, they were amazed. Patricia was like, ‘who saw an angel?’ Since then as I’ve shown other people, they’ve pointed out that it might have been Jesus. Regardless, if it was the King of Kings or an angelic messenger sent by God, the love which came into my house that day changed everything. God is real and he loves us so much. He’s waiting for each of us to come see, believe and turn to him. It’s a love that will change your life for good.
