The Journey {Part Two}

STOP right there!! 

 If you haven't already read 

The Journey {Part One}

quickly go do that!! 

This post will not make very much 

sense if you don't ;) 

Then the door into the waiting room swung open. 

"Kerrington!" the lady said, 

with a white file folder tucked under her arm... 

As I stood up, my legs began quivering as I took each step closer & closer to the examining room. 

I sat on the table, & opened wide...just as rehearsed. 

Thoughts of such excitement were racing through my mind, as I thought her answers would have been the ones,

that I so desperately wanted to hear... 

She looked in & said the exact same disappointing line I had already heard from my Family Doctor many a time. 

Keeping this in mind, I had waited 6 months of my life

to see this specific ENT. 

The devastation dropped on me as she said

"Surgery, is not needed..." 

I walked out of that office with tear filled eyes

& a very heavy heart. 

Another 8 months has now gone by in our little journey

& the same reoccurring throat issues

are now becoming my normal. 

It's now, the Eve of Christmas Eve.

2012.

(I am 14, turning 15 in about a week)

My throat is an excruciating amount of pain,

I can't swallow or taste. 

Tonsils are enlarged & oh did I mention,

it's the biggest holiday season ever. 

My parents then brought me to Emerge that night,

to see if there was anything

that could give me some relief. 

We waited a few hours & finally got into a room. 

The Doctor then seen me at Midnight

& said basically the 

same line as always. 

He then prescribed me some meds to

give me at least a little bit of relief for the Holidays. 

I stayed sick for awhile that time. 

Through Christmas, my Birthday 

& into the new year of 2013. 

I would get up in the morning shower, go back to bed

& then wake up sometimes in the afternoon.

 I just couldn't get enough sleep. 

I will always remember the one day 

I slept for 17 hours, I didn't even have enough strength to keep my head up. 

I lost 10 pounds in a matter of 3 weeks
& I wasn't even getting out of bed. 

I was starting to not fit into my 

jeans anymore. 

My face looked weak, 

My body was beginning to grow weary, as I countinued to fight in the Battle. 

This infection was really giving me a

good whipping that time

& all I could was attempt to sleep through it. 

After that, the rest of 2013

was a very good year for my throat! 

I was really happy that I wasn't in any more pain,

but my tonsils were still swollen

just not as large as before, which was a good sign!

Everything seemed to be doing fine. 

Until, Winter 2013 hit.

Tonsils flared back up & both my ears were plugged.

I had so many people suggesting

so many different remedies to unplug my ears, 

I decided to visit my Family Doctor, again to hear her thoughts on my 

situation. 

I was leaving for Florida with my Best Friends Family that afternoon. 

So I went to see the Doc that morning. 

 I was put on Antiboitics once again.

(I was starting to wonder if these things even really help??)

Fast-forward about 3.5 months, 

I am now walking into the same Medical Office 

(1 week ago to be exact) 

As before, to see another ENT about my plugged ears

& my swollen tonsils. 

I past the hearing test with a 100% mark, 

& they seen that there was no damage to my ears at all, 

which was a good thing!! 

My tonsils on the other hand... 

"You'll out-grow this.."

He said.

He also said that this was a common

thing, in the teens of today. 

As that week progressed my throat became

more & more irritated.

Then on Thursday of Last week my

tonsils swelled up again

& my left ear was completely plugged this time.

Not being able to hear out of it at all. 

This was not the greatest timing ever...

As I was very busy that coming weekend with the

Youth Conference at our 

home Church. 

Anyways, that incredible weekend 

I watched so many people get

healed of sickness & of their hurts. 

A suddle spirit of jealousy overcame a

part of my weary heart. 

I then began to Question God,

as I seen all these young people be set free...

"Has God forgot about me 

& my need of a healing??" 

Friday morning of the Conference 

We had a lovely lady

from our church Guest-speaking. 

She is always so hilarious & bold when she speaks. 

She is actually quite the inspiration 

to me!! ;) 

(Love you Linda! Xo) 

That morning she spoke on how

God NEVER forgets us! 

When she spoke those words, 

God sorta stopped me & said:

 

"Kerrington, do you trust me fully that

I will heal you, in my timing

& that I have not forgotten you??" 

My answer was quick in my mind,

but slow to come out in words.

Did I trust God enough,

all this time that he would actually heal me? 

Did I ever think that my healing would never come? 

Did I ever question God & his ability to actually heal? 

Sadly...but yes! I did question these

things a lot in the past 3 years. 

The Saturday afternoon of the conference,

I had the opportunity to Prophetically speak

something over the youth

& I was able to fully use my God-given voice. 

Even though, I was still

under a major attack from the enemy, 

God gave me the strength to speak,

like I have never spoke before in my entire life!! 

 

It was the most exciting & 

oh-so-scariest moment ever! 

I will forever remember!! 

 

I know what your next question is going to be...

 

Did you get healed???
 

 

The answer is NO.

I am still in pain, my tonsils are still swelled up,

my ear is plugged & my nose is running like a river, 

but I got God on my side this time!! 

 

So why is there even a need to worry

about when my healing will come!? 

God's got it all under control :) 

Until next time,
