When I was 14, my feet were not right. I was walking on my tippy toes and could not walk flat footed. I had to have two intense surgery's, wear a cast for 6 months twice, and then learn how to walk again. I had to have crutches in middle school and I was home schooled for six months. I had to wear braces in which the doctor said I had to wear my whole life. That is what the doctor said that has 40+ years of experience. I knew the power of prayer and the power God has. When I got on my knees and said a prayer to my Heavenly Father, I asked if somehow, someway, I didn't have to wear these braces my whole life. I remember praying for like 20 minutes, just asking if somehow it is possible that I can remove these braces for the rest of my life. As I was done with my prayer, I just sat there listening to the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. 5 minutes later, I sat there, just thinking, and then I felt something......something peaceful came over me. The Spirit of the Lord told me everything will work out and not to worry. I knew at that time, my prayer was answered, and I knew it was true. I knew I could not deny it for it was the Spirit of the Lord that told me so. I knew that the Spirit does not lie. As soon as I was 100% positive, I rushed to my dad and I said, "Dad, I don't need these braces anymore. The doctor is going to tell me I can take them off for the rest of my life." Well, my dad said, "No, Taylor no, the doctor said you will have these on your feet for the rest of your life." I said, "No Dad, I know the doctor will say to take them off. You don't need them anymore." My dad, being an all wise father, he said, "No Taylor, you will have those on for the rest of your life. That is what the doctor said." I just said, "OK, we will see what the doctor says." I still did not believe what my father said to me. Being only 14 at the time, I knew I could not convince my dad and I also knew what the Spirit of the Lord told me. So, I had a check up on my feet at the hospital a couple months later. Let me remind you, this hospital specializes in feet. Very nice one we looked for a hospital that could do this for my feet. For 8 or so months we looked for a hospital and could now fix my feet. I know it was by God we found this one in Utah, who would have thought that Utah would have one this amazing. So we get to the doctors and the he says to me, "Take you braces off and let me see your feet." So he looks at my feet and I still to this day have stitch marks across my feet and up my leg and they are still tender. The reason the doctor put me on these braces is because when people have this problem it will go back to the way it was. So the braces keep it from going back to the way it was. After I walk around the room the doctor says after 40+ years of me being a doctor I have never told any of my patients they can take the braces off for the rest of there lives. SO HE SAID TAKE THEM OFF, YOU DON'T NEED THEM ANY MORE. I was so HAPPY!!!! Knowing that I did not need them any more, and that time my dad did believe me. It took a lot of Faith to believe and trust the Spirit and God. Trust me it would of been easy for me to say, "OK dad your right, there is no way", but I knew the power that God had. I knew then what I know now, that there is a God and He loves you more then you could ever now. I put my trust in Him and He blessed me more then ever. God dose live, I know he does. If it was not for the power of God letting me take off my braces I would not be able to ride dirt bikes or play sports or do things that I love. That is the love God has for all his children. That is the love He has for you, me, and everyone. He wants you to come to Him so don't forget to kneel and pray to our Heavenly Father.
