Hannah T.
"I was diagnosed at 22 with a Colloid Cyst in the third ventricle of my brain. All the Drs were shocked to find it at such a small size, because this type of cyst and it's location is never found early. They're usually found very large and blocking fluid from draining out from the brain. People either die from this or require risky emergency brain surgery. After seeing Drs for months then years, I was cleared for a 5 year gap between MRI checks.
During that 5 years, my husband and I grew our family and just lived our lives following after Christ. Determined to trust God, I had an experience during a time of fasting and prayer where I felt like the Lord had healed me. Recently, my time for my MRI came around and I started doubting that maybe I really wasn't healed and telling myself not to get my hopes up.
I'm part of the Creative Arts Team at Connection and during practice I asked Cal Walker to pray for me the day before my MRI and he enlisted the whole Creative Arts team to pray as well. He specifically said something I very much needed. He prayed, "Lord, lend our faith to Hannah to build hers up." And in that moment I felt it. I had my MRI and the next day was the appointment with my neurosurgeon. He was talking about the mass that I also have on my pituitary gland and how it hadn't really grown and that was really good. I asked him, "What about the Colloid Cyst?" And his response was, "What Colloid Cyst?"
I was fighting back tears as he explained that there was a small thing in the ventricle but it definitely wasn't a Colloid cyst and whatever it was, it was benign and getting smaller. He said I have nothing to worry about. I was diagnosed with this almost 12 years ago and God has healed me! God is absolutely good and I am so very thankful!!!!"
