Healing conference aftermath

Hey all. It is Sunday and this week Randy Clark was in to do a healing conference with Bethel students and church members. Leading up to the conference I had decided that I was going to get my eyesight healed whilst it was going on. I took every opportunity I could to get prayer and I stood up for all the corporate prayers, but in the end my eyes were no different. (On the other hand, there were about 200 others in the meeting the last night (out of 1500) that were healed, some of very terrible diseases.) So, I did not get healed this week, but that does not mean that I am discouraged. Indeed I am not, instead I am encouraged and inspired. See, this is not the first time I thought I was going to get my eyesight healed. In Christian conferences before I have been so sure that I broke my glasses as an act of faith that I would not need them any longer. Other times I "pressed in" to God for a few weeks always getting prayer and nothing happened. It has been hard and discouraging at times, but it has brought me on a journey that has served to inoculate me against that discouragement. I have had to go through enough disappointments that I have  learned (not quite perfectly) to separate my experience away from what I know to be true. I know that God wants to heal me, I know that my eyesight will be healed, and so I am going to keep going after it until I get healed. So, my journey now is to continually get pray and keep praying for myself until I have perfect eyesight. I do not know what could be in the way of me getting healed or how long it might take, but I know that God loves me, wants me healed, and I am going to get healed. He is so good! I will keep ya'll posted on how it all goes.
