After I got home, a friend of mine gave me a sermon to listen to...and the timing couldn't have been more perfect.
As I was driving to the doctor this morning, I was thinking to myself "WHY do I get so sick?I don't know any one else who gets completely wiped out for weeks at a time. Maybe it's because I haven't spent enough time reading the Bible or praying, and this is God's way of getting my attention. Or maybe I have a weak immune system and this is just something I have to live with."
Obviously these thoughts are based on fear and lack of faith.
The over all message of the sermon was about the power of communion and understanding the meaning of taking the bread and wine in remembrance of Him. It is SO powerful, I am actually considering taking communion myself here at my house tonight.
A couple of other things that really stuck out to me were:
God trains and corrects us through His WORD, not through sickness and disease
If sickness and disease were from God, then He would be un-doing what Jesus did on the cross.
I suppose I have heard these things in one form or another over the years, but it was so good to be reminded of the power of Jesus' death on the cross.
He did it for me.
So I can be healed.

Amen! I can't wait for u to finally be completely healed. I'm actually surprised I haven't been sick much cuz honestly its usually me and I'm usually sick basically all winter long with multiple cases of strep, tonsilitis, bronchitis, lyringitis, sinus and ear infections and normally I have at least two of these at once. sick girl :0( but so far I've only caught the flu bug one and a half times n had strep once..woo hoo!
I felt the same way... Just read the book today and i decided to have communion right in our kitchen... It was kinda weird at first, but I loved everything about it!! :o)
