How this post has graced me w...My dear dear friend. How this post has graced me with an image of the Almighty today!! I'm actually sitting in Starbucks crying..which you know is a rarity for me! As I pray and seek God about becoming stepmom to kiddos who have fairly severe emotional disabilities, I've asked the Lord to "just heal them." I know I've asked this for the kiddos, but truthfully, I've asked out of my own selfishness, pride, and disbelief just as much. Today, the Lord has shown me His truth and His glory. I, too, am so scared to pray for the Lord's glory in this, rather than immediate healing. BUT! I believe in my core that this is what the Lord asks of me as well. I will pray this and hold fast in those moments where my flesh cries out for the immediate. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your heart so beautifully so that His glory is revealed more to my heart today. Love you. <br /><br />Kristen Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076424535904190616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980879536460198409.post-80677234449005653012017-04-18T17:51:41.692-07:002017-04-18T17:51:41.692-07:00You are a gifted writer, Melissa.

So touched by your humble heart and relentless faith. All glory be to God! Your testimony through this will touch many lives I am sure. Dear Lord, You are our sustainer and strength provider. I pray that Your mighty arms will surround this family. I pray that Your strength will infuse every part of their body, soul, and mind. I lift up Hudson to You. You have created Him perfect, in Your image, and I ask that You will mightily use him for Your kingdom. Heal, restore, equip, baffle unbelieving doctors with Your power. In Jesus name I pray -Amen!<br /><br />~Paul and Becky FinkleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023433171127862417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980879536460198409.post-52360465505347281102016-02-04T08:22:32.836-08:002016-02-04T08:22:32.836-08:00Charging the gates....

I just love you to pieces, and am so thankful that God has given me the gift of knowing you. Let's celebrate that the Lord has already defeated all of the sickness and sadness and that we are protected from much deeper evil because of Him. You are not going through any of this alone!
