My sweet friend Meredith Bunting is back to talk about the journey of pain. She was one of the original seven women who agreed to get my podcast off the ground. And at that time she shared her journey with chronic illness that included paralyzing pain that would seize her body and leave her balled up in a fetal position for days until it decided to let her go. And she had no promise that it would get better, and no one had a cure for her.
Additionally, you might remember, in our original episode, we briefly talked about a book that she had in the works. Well, she’s back today to talk about that book because it’s been published, and it will be available for purchase in February. At the current moment, you can preorder it and I’ll give you the info below.
The title of her book is “Cutting and Pasting Truth: Snapshots of a Life Lived Through Faith and Fitness.” The book is broken down into four parts, crisis, chaos, surrender and celebration. We talk about the journey of pain and what it looks like through those 4 phases but I want to share with you my favorite part of our conversation. Here’s some amazing news. A month or two ago, Meredith’s pain went away, disappeared. It has not returned.
She’ll tell you it’s been somewhat of a struggle to go from living with that level and frequency of pain to no pain at all. That in itself brought on a whole different struggle with God. Meredith knows crisis, chaos, surrender and she has entered into the celebration phase.
Now that she had been supernaturally healed, I had a question for her that centers around people who, without a supernatural move of God, will not receive an answer to their prayers. What if their mountain will not be moved? What does God have for those who are in a holding pattern of chaos or even surrender but no proof that things are changing?
My question comes at a time in Meredith’s personal life when she just recently laid to rest one precious friend and is watching another dear friend who is slipping into the arms of Jesus. Her answer is so beautiful, and it reveals the God we serve in a way that He never wastes a thing and that we’re never alone. I immediately wrote about it in a blog post as well.
If you’ve ever wondered if God has something for us when we suffer, don’t miss what she has to share. I feel sure your heart will be infused with a deep measure of peace and joy.
Live Loved and Thrive!
