Healing is all in God's timing and way...



   There once was a mom who, prayed over her children continually for healing physically, mentally and spiritually. On her knees constantly knowing healing would take place, and content with how the healing may come by taking them to be with him. For 20 years she's seen sickness taken. a life taken to be with him for perfect healing, and daily caring for 2 of her children who was given a frightening diagnosis. Years passed, and she stayed content with the road given to her and her family.
   14 years watching her kids grow into steady, faithful, God fearing children even through the circumstances given. Hurting through the road, but still understanding that road God had prepared for them. Knowing that God was going to heal them. This mom continuing with the teaching of healing, and praying for that healing through God's will. Still being content with the road given.
    8 years of praying from " the power of a praying parent" a prayer of healing over her children. " I pray that sickness will have no place in their lives. I pray for protection against this diagnoses. your word says " He sent his word and healed them. and delivered them from their diseases. ( Psalms 107:20) I pray you will touch them with your healing power, and restore them to perfect health. When we see Dr's give them wisdom, and full knowledge of the best way to proceed. Thank you Lord, that you suffered and died for us so that we might be healed. I lay claim to healing which you have promised in your word, and provided for those who believe. I look to you for a life of health, healing and wholeness for my children".
   Through this prayer believing and claiming that healing would happen, in GODS TIMING and THROUGH GODS WAY. Believing her children would live long lives. through time seeing things found to give her children longer, healthier lives. Watching her children's health change as they grew.
    Then suddenly the call came, a call that would change her whole world. A Dr. explaining the disease which was once there, and diagnosed now can't be found in recent blood results. A whirl wind of emotions, of does she explain it to the children, does she believe the blood results, or get a second opinion, how does she explain it to other parents who's children are suffering through this same disease?. Why her children and not theirs? her heart was torn with confusion. A place where she should be rejoicing and praising God, but afraid too; because it seemed when bad things happen it was on her family, so how could anything good like this come to her.  fighting the doubt of the situation.
    Time went on, and once things settled her children again tested. Praying the whole time she can except what God has done good or the same diagnoses. A day later an email comes through, saying everything is negative still, and the diagnoses is being removed. In tears she praised God knowing it was him, still in a state of confusion if she should cry, praise, be angry, so many emotions all at once. Calling her husband telling him the news, listening to him praise the Lord loudly at work saying it's God he has heard all the prayers for healing.





    This mom as you've probably figured out, is me. Being content in all situations concerning Micah and Elijah. Being content with a diagnoses that seemed to be their future. Still praying for healing, daily, nightly, weekly, monthly, yearly. And when it comes my first response is doubt. How can this be, the diagnoses was given years ago at a highly credited Cystic Fibrosis center. Why so many years of pain and suffering on the boys? Why so many years of watching them struggle? When all I needed to do was praise God for a complete healing not on just one of my boys, but BOTH!. He answered our constant prayers, our church family's constant prayers, our families constant prayers, our friends constant prayers. Still I my mind goes on with the Why my family? and not my other friends children who suffer from the same diagnoses? I can't answer that, and my prayers will continue for my friends children, all I know is God's hand has given my son Micah a bright future towards dreams that he pretty much gave up on. Flying for the Air Force as a Jet Pilot.
   God is a wonderful, merciful, healing, all knowing, God. My praise will be shouted from every corner, I have 2 boys that are living proof of miracles still happen. I would have shouted from the corner my praises, if their healing was like Josiah's with my father in heaven, but this healing is so overwhelming I just don't know how to respond but to cry in his glory.
  So those who have constantly prayed for my boys, THANK YOU! prayers have been answered. Those who still care for children with CF my prayers will NEVER stop it being the same kind of healing my boys received or a cure found. I will still walk CF walks, with each of your children in my heart.
   Our Worship leader in Hawaii Mendal Wong use to lead us in my favorite song, it's my boys life song... I am FREE to RUN, I am FREE TO DANCE, I AM FREE to live for you.. I AM FREE... They are Free Mendal =), Micah's life has so many possibilities in it, nothing holding him back. No one to say you CANT because of a diagnoses. He is FREE!.
   So overwhelming these last couple of weeks, Protection from a car accident which should have really been life altering, coming out with scratches and whip lash only. Now this, a great miracle on our boys. OVERWHELMING! to say the least. Like the movie Facing the Giants when everything falls on him at once, just crying because he doesn't know how to react. Same here, It's a cloud of what has happened.. And now I will do as Hannah did.. In ( 1 Samuel 1:27-28) " For this child I prayed,and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of him.Therefore, I also have lent him to the Lord;as long as he lives he shall be lent to the Lord". My boys are not mine, they are God's and he will use this for his glory. I can't wait to see what God has planned in this miracle.
   Doubting is easy, believing a miracle of this magnitude seems impossible, but with our God NOTHING is impossible. (Jeremiah 29:11)" For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. " Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a FUTURE."
