But we know that our God is the Ultimate Healer and we are in prayer for you and your family several times a day. Our Sunday School family is also praying for you both along with the girls and specifically for Garren. We pray for strength for you both, wisdom for the doctors and patience for all as you wait for God's perfect timing. Thank you for the postings.

This same passage keeps popping up in my head as I pray as well. My daughter has known Garren through AIG classes for the past 4 years. He, and your entire family, have been on our minds, and in our hearts and prayers non stop since we heard the news. I cannot begin to imagine how you are feeling right now. But this could have been any of our children, so we all feel the helplessness, hurt, and anguish along with you. We bear this burden alongside you. Garren may be still but God is active at work inside of him.

My mom added Garren and your family to the prayer list at Spruce Creek Baptist Church. This has touched a special place in all of us. God answered our prayers 3 years ago and I like to think that our son will do great things in His name one day.<br /><br />It is a trial and the waiting is so hard, but when you make it to the other side, you breathe again and you will never look at life in quite the same way as you did before. It's a deeper appreciation and gratitude of how fragile we are, but yet how whole we are when we're held in God's hands. The strength He gives us to endure this kind of pain is absolutely beyond understanding. Cling to it!<br /><br />In a time of turmoil and unrest, this beautiful child of yours has brought people together all over the world...he has brought us to our knees.

Isaiah 53:5<br />Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and He heals the sick, trust in Him and the work He did at the cross. He took it all at the cross for us, so that we could be healed, whole and complete. Claim His promises for Garren, claim Garren's healing, it is his, given to him by Jesus on the cross. See Garren's healing in reading all the miracle healings Jesus did in the Gospels. And remember how much God loves you, focus on His love for you, Garren, Nancy and your whole family. He gave His one and only Son for you, that's how much He loves you and wants Garren to be strong and healthy. He loves you all so much, focus on His love for you all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9141409251694792478.post-20332501877555789572011-02-07T21:37:02.074-05:002011-02-07T21:37:02.074-05:00Praying continuously for you all and especially Ga...Praying continuously for you all and especially Garren. One thing from your post really struck me. You said that you are not leading anyone out of bondage in Egypt. I believe that through all of this God will lead people out of the bondage of sin and into salvation. It is certainly not the way we would ever imagine let alone choose, but God will use your faith, and I believe Garren's healing.
