We interrupt this stream of pithy and somewhat vulnerable posts reflecting on Bible week to bring you news of a wee miracle I discovered this morning.
For those of you who don’t know, I have alopecia. I lose hair in patches, have since I was a little girl. I was bald in fifth grade. All of my hair on my head had grown back by high school, but to this day I do not have to shave my legs. This was an answer to a prayer I prayed when I was only 11. I told God I was willing to be bald as long as He needed me to be, to accomplish what He wanted to accomplish through it, but I didn’t ever want prickly legs! My church family also prayed for my healing for years.
I still get small bald patches, usually due to stress, usually around the sides and back of my hairline. I have had two appear since being in California. (Oh, stress…) Months ago one appeared in my hairline along my bangs, and it made me very very sad. So I asked my church family to pray, and only two days later I thought I saw fuzz (the new hair comes in so soft) in the center of the spot. That’s quicker than a prednizone injection!
I wasn’t sure, though, and I determined not to worry about it.
A few days ago I was wondering about that bald spot, and this morning I saw a tiny curl, about an inch long, right where the patch had been! See?
Okay, that picture doesn’t show it so well.
I just thought it was cuter than the one that does.
Maybe this one is better…
Still no? There was a longer piece with the little miracle curl.
This picture shows the curl best, but my hand was over the flash. It’s kind of a terrible picture. Don’t be alarmed or distracted.
I’m so happy! I feel so loved…by God and by the people who have prayed for me over the years!
Thank you!!!!!!!!
