I just wanted to let you know how my surgery went on August 28, 2009. We arrived at St. Joe’s and within a few minutes I was taken back to prepare for surgery. Standing there is Julie Wesley and I thought wow Julie is here to see someone. Julie approached me and said that she came to pray with me. Awesome! Pastor Bill Fisher sent out an e-mail asking the PCC staff if anyone knew me and Julie responded. She we went into the changing area with me and said the most encouraging, powerful, and lovely prayer. The nurse came by to see if I had changed into the gown yet but had not. Then I looked up and there stood an elderly gentleman. He asked if I was Lorraina Kestner and I said yes and he said that he was St. Joe’s Clergy staff and would like to pray for me. I said awesome come on in. He prayed a wonderful prayer of healing, peace, and a quick recovery. He had just left when the nurse saw that I was changing as quickly as possible. She said you had company and I told her they were sent from God.
I awoke in the recovery room and I was conducting an orchestra of Angels that were playing the most unusual, lovely, peaceful music I cannot even describe it. The nurse sitting next to me said what are you doing with your hands? And who are you smiling at? I said you can’t see them? There is an orchestra of Angels that I am conducting. The nurse said you’re not there yet for now you have to keep your hands and arms at your sides.
Then I was being pushed into my room for the evening I was telling the nurses that “they rocked”, “Girls rule”, “that I loved them”, and “that they need to paint the recovery room pink”. The Nurse was smiling and she said but blue is soothing.
The doctor wants me to rest and take it easy until I see him on August 12, 2009.
Thank you for all your prayers which helped me through another surgery. I was greatly blessed by this experience and appreciate the PCC Community Forum.
Thanks again & God Bless,
Lorraina Kestner

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your encouragement and continued prayers! I am doing better day by day and no pain! What a blessing! Yesterday evening I asked my husband to help me water a couple of plants outside. He pulled the hose while I held the nozzle on the plant. I just needed to be outside even though it was so hot. He asked why are we doing this and I told him because it will rain. You know when you wash your car it rains I said I was tired of this heat and watering a couple of plants will make it rain. He was concerned that I was over doing it , I have not done anything in days, and told him holding the end of the hose is not going to hurt me. Soon we heard thunder and then a few drops and RAIN! YEAH! I know that GOD made it I just helped with a bit of faith!
God Bless,
Lorraina
