            A couple of months progressed, and late in the summer of 2004 we sold our house. It was now time to move and help with the church plant. I was nervous because all of the doctors and people treating me were in Tulsa, and I was moving to Arizona. The pressure in the eye was still high, and if God did not do something, I was going to lose more sight. Upon arrival in Arizona, I found a new glaucoma specialist, who believed that I did not need another surgery. He added a few eye drops to the routine and was able to bring the pressure down into normal levels. I believed that finally, something positive was happening and that maybe God was around and helping me after all. My pastor friend, Brad Larson, encouraged me to believe God even if my eye was falling out of the socket. A little gruesome, but I knew what he meant. I could not give up. Christians must believe that God is the healer.

            Over the next few months going into the end of 2004 God directed me to a scripture: �Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is the Lord, for he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river and will not fear when heat comes but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit� (Jeremiah 17:7-8). This was awesome. The Lord was telling me that if I trust in the Him, I will not fear when heat comes, but my leaf would be green. I understood what the scripture was saying. Heat is a form of destruction to the tree and the leaf is its physical component. I also was not going to be anxious or worry and I would continue to be fruitful. This was huge to me and the second spiritual milestone in this journey. Remember the first was that it is God�s will for me to be healed, and I learned that through Kenneth Hagin Sr. tape �Healing is the Children�s Bread.� So now I had two keys to believe. It is God�s will for me to be healed, and I needed to trust him to do it. Every key brought me closer to feeling like my healing was going to happen any moment.
