To contend for a friend

I do not know you personally, a dear friend of mine does. Your child is wounded and the news is spread out for prayers.
As a sister in Christ you are kindred in heart in more ways than you know.
My heart understands the deepest vallies a mama can find herself helplessly in and so I contend.

Many many people are and will be praying and the most amazing God prepared your heart when you posted (probably only a few hours before the news) "I see people praying" God showed you what the hours ahead were to look like and for you to rely only on the prayers lifted as you walk in this place that can take people down.

Hearts are contending for you in prayer on our knees just as he revealed to you. HOLD ON TO that.

Sweet sister in Christ, prayers are being overloaded in the presence of The Savior.

The Lord will see you through this...this we are confident.
He will use this for His glory...this you can count on.
Every prayer is being heard...this is Our God.

Speaking the word of the Lord...this is power... Savior Savior <3
Assemble in prayer...this is our call.
Victory is claimed...this by His blood.
Invite the unsaved...this is the heart.
Ownership...this is our Inheritance.
Rejoice in the storm...this...well this, is the place that we can feel Him feel us, the touch on your   
  finger tip, the drop of water on your face, with eyes lifted up in the inside of a building. This is the place He will make a mountain move.

God gave His son so that not one will be lost. He will leave His flock to go after the one that is strayed.
I am seeing the Lord do this now, and, in this very hard time He will bring salvation for Kalyb.
His desire is that not one be left behind.
 All things work for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.

To contend for a friend...
Thank you sweet Jesus for, yes...even the storms.

Lord hold this family close, carry them when they cannot take another step. Cause Kalyb's heart to call out and recieve you...for this day and all the days of his life. This is a prayer of a mama for a mama and her son.
I love you Jesus and all is in your name,
Amen

I am His Bride

I am His bride and He has given me all that I need to prepare for the battle...Feet fit with the Gospel of Peace <3

In the fog it is hard to see

Life as we knew it is many days past...I could give months, days hours minute and seconds however it is all a blur.
In this fog it is hard to see, even though, I thought I knew what was there, I wonder did I get lost somewhere? Did I miss something? a turn, the path, the call? What? Where When and the ultimate Why?
So I reflect.

Out of a clear blue sky lightning strikes: So hard to understand how we got here, my young daughter fighting a serious illness that has changed SO much of her life:  Her plans, her goals that she has st rived  to reach, her body, her mind and her everyday joy and zest for life.
Where did this come from? who can medically help her/us find answers that we cry out for.

So I pinch myself and wonder:  am I in a dream of a TV show "House" episode. I wonder who is the technical adviser to this show? It has to be a very smart doctor. Where do I find her/him?
After one of our trips home after a hospital stay (in the beginning), I was back at work, we had gone into Borders with the people I serve, I walked in directly to a table of books. I was taken, as if it was calling me to (one) book on the table as if it were the only one there. It's title was/is "Every Patient Has a Story" I picked it up, looked quisitivly at it, turned it over and read the description on the back...TO MY SURPRISE...the author is........YES........the technical adviser to the TV show "House". I am not kidding one bit \0/ this is God (I thought to my self) as I leaped inside and could not contain my excitement :) I thought "there is something to this, what is it Lord? So, yes, I purchased the book. The book is about how doctors come to diognosis' of illnesses and how they come to narrow them down by squinting every detail of the person and the body that has been attacked. OK so if your wondering (as I am)  has this book helped? It hasn't really as far as answers, But it let me know that God is here with us in this and that He is guiding the way just as He guided me to this book, that caused me to leap with hope and a knowing that He is in control.

In this fog it IS hard to see...however, I know He knows the way, though I may not see clear, He has her in His hands. He is driving us in this fog: and one day; I know the sun will come out; a breeze will blow and we will find ourselves clearly in His way (path).

This is Life as we know it.
This is Life as we struggle
This is life that is being directed by the Creator of the universe.
All things work for the GOOD of those who love the Lord and are CALLED according to His purpose.
This is LIfE as we trust
In YOU, FATHER SON HOLY SPIRIT.

PS: A human journey, a spiritual path.

Love in Him,
Patty
