A Weekend in Orlando

Orlando truly is the happiest place on earth! I loved this extraordinary event and received a very unique and unexpected “tender mercy” while there. You see, my oldest daughter has suffered from migraine headaches all of her life. We’ve tried everything—including surgery to close a hole in her heart—with only modest success. At one point, her doctor prescribed a particular medication that had proven to be quite effective for many of his patients in reducing headaches. After filling this prescription, I just couldn’t give my daughter the medication he had prescribed. Every time I tried, I felt a strong impression that she shouldn’t take it. Logic versus spiritual prompting—an interestingly familiar dilemma most women face at times in their personal stewardships.

But while at the Orlando event, I met a woman who had become unexplainably blind eleven days after taking this very medication. Would my daughter also have had a similar adverse reaction to this drug? I’ll never know. But, for me, this experience felt like a gift from the Lord. I was able to met and connect with this brave woman on a spiritual level I will never forget, and she blessed my life with her courage and testimony. Don’t we love and need Time Out for Women!

Can’t wait to see you again,

DeAnne Flynn
