A Miracle

Anyone who's known me long knows that I've had really bad headaches from a neck injury 12 years ago. No one has been able to help me much with it, so I've just learned to live with it, going to the chiropractor occasionally when it got too bad. Nat has insisted that this is the year we're going to take care of me. So he's been taking me to get acupuncture twice a week since the beginning of the year. It's amazing how much that relaxes my neck. He also thought it would be a good idea if we went to the chiropractor and got an adjustment as soon as soon as I left the acupuncturist since that was when I was most relaxed. When I went yesterday there was a new guy there. He did some maneuver on my neck that no one has ever done before (and I've been to countless chiropractors) and that little part of my neck that NEVER goes back in and has been causing all the pain WENT BACK INTO PLACE! I was so amazed. Over the last 2 days I've discovered that not only do I not have a headache, but my jaw is back in place too! And I've had all kinds of retainer contraptions things from TMJ specialists that have never done much. This is truly a miracle. Please pray for me that it will not pop out of place again! Thank you to everyone who has prayed for me over the past several years. I know that a lot of you have.
