Building Strength: The Healing Continues

The Next Step in My Miraculous Healing

Building Strength: The Healing Continues
Kevin Tyrrell

Why do I have so much faith in my life which looks difficult? How do I shout out praises to my Lord and Savior? If I accomplish something in life that not only I, but other people thought I was never able to succeed, what do you think this is caused by? Who do you think it's caused by? Myself? No. I don't just drastically change overnight and start wobbly feeding myself. I don't work out so much that now I'm actually able to stand up on my own with holding onto something. With my disability, Cerebral Palsy, it doesn't get any better! It stays the same or worsens depending on how hard you work and your determination but other than that, it decreases.

Only a few months ago, my right hand was tight, shriveled up, and in chronic pain. Breathing with finding the strength to inhale a deep breath was nearly impossible. My legs were practically bone thin and now they actually look like regular legs with muscles. People would accuse me and say "Oh, that's because you're working at it harder." Actually, no. The progress that I've made would take me more than a lifetime to succeed! Strength builds up in my body whenever I feel the urge to pray. Spasms in my body lesson each week. I'm not drooling as much. A friend of mine told me once a few weeks ago, "I can understand every word your saying!" That moment touched me. Some people would probably say prove your point and walk!" That would be testing the healing. It's in His timing, not mine! I'm just living my daily life and God tells me "Try this!" We always hear about miracles, but when someone is in so much need of help and drastically changes, that's not them; that's God! Clasping onto something and releasing it immediately without any struggle instead of locking my grip and not being able to release? That's not me.

Jesus has taught me so much throughout the last few months. The reason why He hasn't healed me completely is because He just wants to show me how strong His love is. We're always taught that He loves us unconditionally, but our minds can't comprehend how much He loves us. My belief is that the reason why God waited 20 years to heal me is that He has taught me so much throughout those 20 years of being wheelchair-bound.

God told me that He will complete the healing fully and now is just the beginning. I'm not only hoping but I am predicting that by summer of 2017, the complete healing will take effect. As I pray and ask Him when will this healing be finished, He responds, "Soon!" He and I have a fun relationship, as you can tell. Yes, I've been called crazy for believing this, and it hurts... But I would rather obey God and be called "whacked out" and other hurtful names. I would rather that than deny my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
