What an incredible testimony,
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
what an incredible
story that Loretta has,
00:00:02.73\00:00:05.87
and we just have a
couple moments left.
00:00:05.90\00:00:07.54
Loretta, you have a
special journaling Bible there,
00:00:07.57\00:00:10.11
and I think there's a
question your son wrote in it,
00:00:10.14\00:00:12.04
talk to us about that?
00:00:12.07\00:00:13.41
I do have a journaling Bible.
00:00:13.44\00:00:14.94
And he asked me the question,
00:00:14.98\00:00:16.88
"Mommy, how many
mission trips have you been on
00:00:16.91\00:00:19.28
since they said you
wouldn't be able to go
00:00:19.31\00:00:21.35
on any more mission trips?"
00:00:21.38\00:00:23.28
And the answer to that is 19.
00:00:23.32\00:00:26.15
Wow!
00:00:26.19\00:00:27.52
You've been on 19
since you got sick.
00:00:27.56\00:00:29.29
I've been on 19
since they told me,
00:00:29.32\00:00:31.26
I wouldn't be able to do anymore
00:00:31.29\00:00:32.63
because when they told me
00:00:32.66\00:00:34.00
I wouldn't be
able to walk again,
00:00:34.03\00:00:35.36
I said, "Can I do
any more marathons?
00:00:35.40\00:00:36.73
Can I do any
more mission trips?"
00:00:36.77\00:00:38.70
And so, what a blessing.
00:00:38.73\00:00:40.07
I don't know how many
I've been on all together,
00:00:40.10\00:00:42.54
but these 19, 20 in June coming.
00:00:42.57\00:00:47.18
These 19 have been
amazing and awesome,
00:00:47.21\00:00:50.05
with my family,
00:00:50.08\00:00:51.78
and what a blessing
that I can go and serve
00:00:51.81\00:00:55.12
and share this story of God's
amazing and wonderful grace.
00:00:55.15\00:00:58.65
And I want to say something too
00:00:58.69\00:01:00.02
that I think where
it really impresses me
00:01:00.06\00:01:01.39
is that God is good
00:01:01.42\00:01:03.16
even if you weren't
healed to the point you are now,
00:01:03.19\00:01:05.39
that's the state
that you came to,
00:01:05.43\00:01:07.06
you know, you're like,
"Okay, God, okay with You
00:01:07.10\00:01:09.26
if I'm in the
wheelchair the rest of my life,"
00:01:09.30\00:01:10.80
it's that coming
to that realization
00:01:10.83\00:01:12.77
or, "God you've
brought me to where I'm now.
00:01:12.80\00:01:14.80
Thank you, God,
you're still good."
00:01:14.84\00:01:16.47
It annoys me when
people hear my story
00:01:16.50\00:01:18.31
and say God is good because God
is not good because I'm healed.
00:01:18.34\00:01:21.51
Yes. Yes. That's right.
00:01:21.54\00:01:22.88
In some place I was in Africa,
00:01:22.91\00:01:24.31
they say, "God is
good all the time,
00:01:24.35\00:01:26.01
and all the time God is good."
00:01:26.05\00:01:27.38
All the time, God is
good. And that's His nature.
00:01:27.42\00:01:29.45
That's right. That's
right. That's what they add.
00:01:29.48\00:01:31.85
That's His nature. Amen.
00:01:31.89\00:01:33.36
I'm grateful, I'm amazed,
00:01:33.39\00:01:36.06
but that's not why He's good.
00:01:36.09\00:01:37.43
Amen.
00:01:37.46\00:01:38.79
He's good because He's God,
00:01:38.83\00:01:40.16
you know, He's
awesome and amazing.
00:01:40.20\00:01:41.53
What an incredible
testimony, Loretta.
00:01:41.56\00:01:42.90
Thank you for
sharing from your heart.
00:01:42.93\00:01:44.37
Thank you for
sharing the journey
00:01:44.40\00:01:46.40
that God has brought you on
00:01:46.43\00:01:47.87
and for sharing
that with you at home.
00:01:47.90\00:01:49.50
We hope and pray
00:01:49.54\00:01:50.87
that there has been an
encouragement in your life.
00:01:50.91\00:01:52.84
Your journey to
trust God regardless,
00:01:52.87\00:01:56.71
trust God with your life.
00:01:56.75\00:01:58.15
We will see you again. Bye-bye.
