Years ago, I discovered I had an aggressive form of endometriosis, for which I had to undergo major surgery.

This condition caused me constant, debilitating bleeding and excruciating pain. I tried every known treatment for this condition, not without side effects, but with little success.
At the same time, I was going through the worst period of emotional and inner suffering of my life: my marriage was not what I had expected.

I turned to the Lord because I had run out of options.
It was hard to start trusting him; I was used to doing everything on my own. I kept falling into anger, frustration, isolation from others, fear and depression, but Jesus always lifts me up. He did so through a verse I found by opening the Bible ‘at random’, through an unexpected phone call, through my brothers and sisters who prayed for me and seemed to know exactly what I needed at that moment. All this could not have been mere chance.
That is how my journey with Jesus began, a journey that never ends, rich with episodes so deeply meaningful that they are even difficult to explain to others because they are part solely and exclusively of your personal relationship with our Lord, like the one you have with a close friend.

I was supported by my community. We cannot do it alone.
Three years have passed, but step by step, even when it felt as though I was standing still, the Lord was guiding me along the path He had laid out for me.
One evening, during a time of great turmoil because my endometriosis was tormenting me as never before and my inner demons were also coming to haunt me, a brother from the community who was very close to me at that time prayed over me, just as had been done on other occasions. That evening, however, something was different. I felt a strong warmth in his hands and heard a voice inside me saying, ‘You are healed’.
This happened exactly a year ago, and since then I have had no more heavy bleeding or severe pain, and I have not resorted to any specific treatment. These are the facts.
And so inner healing came too. When you are no longer assailed by your demons, when even all the things you used to detest—because they took you back to the past—become new to your eyes, like a ‘reset’.

The Lord makes all things new.
Even my marriage has been renewed by the Lord in the time He has set. My husband and I were married anew through His forgiveness, sealing our Covenant before God in truth.
