    When I was a young girl I once had a cycle that lasted 21 days. In just that short length of time I became anemic, and after the 12th day began receiving hormone shots each day–any one of which should have been strong enough to have stopped the bleeding. Long story short–my Uncle Jay White came to Dinuba, CA to hold a revival at the church where my mom’s Uncle Olen and Aunt Genevia attended. My parent’s took me there for him to anoint me with oil and pray over me. That ended the cycle.

    Many, many, many years later I began having 7 day cycles with only 2-3 days in between. That lasted for nearly six months before my doctor indicated the only cure would be a hysterectomy, which I had in 2006.

    I said all that to say, this is one of the Bible stories that I relate to most easily.

      Wow! That would have been awful! I had a cervical infection that resulted in a discharge for 3 years. My final solution was a hysterectomy too. I too identify with this woman. If she had lived in our day she would certainly have received the same final cure we both did.

      I wonder what she would have been diagnosed with in our time. I wonder if she had cancer? Just me thinking through my fingers.
