Summary

When you deal with a chronic illness, it's easy to question God and wonder if He even sees you. Everyone around goes on with their lives while you are left struggling with how to live each day.

 

This is exactly what today's storyteller, Sheryl Trawick, from our Fairhope, Alabama community, experienced after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder where her body was attacking her peripheral nervous system (the control center of her body's communication system). 

 

However, instead of staying stuck in her thoughts of despair, Sheryl decided to pour herself into God - seeking healing verses of Scripture to speak over her body. Through a whisper from the Lord, her faith began to shift, and a miracle of healing began to happen. This a story that is going to remind you of the power found in God's Word! 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

- Scripture can serve as medicine for the soul as well as the body. 

- Peace is only found through the presence of God. 

- God is still in the business of performing miracles.

So I got to thinking about this.

0:04.0

And I was like, okay, talks about sin here.

0:07.0

So God, if I ask you to forgive me of my sins, you would never tell me no, right?

0:13.0

And then I was like, well, you say the chastisement of my peace.

0:17.0

If you won't say no to my sin, surely you wouldn't say no to peace, right? And then I looked

0:23.2

at that last one, it says, and by the stripes, we are healed. And I was like, I got it now.

0:28.6

And I took that scripture and I ran with it. Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast where

Fairhope community. And some of you may wonder where the storytellers come from. There was a fun

1:08.1

little story on Cheryl in particular. Kim, who was on our storytellers team

1:12.3

in Fairhope, was sitting in a doctor's office and started talking to a woman in the doctor's office,

1:17.5

and Cheryl was a friend of hers. And somehow storytellers came up, and they were like, you have got

1:21.8

to hear this woman's story. And lo and behold, Cheryl became a storyteller. And so you never know

1:27.1

how God's going to bring storytellers to communities and then bring their stories to us.

1:31.1

But aren't we thankful for chatty people in a waiting room in a doctor's office?

1:35.0

Absolutely, because Cheryl's story is really powerful.
