This week has been very hard. Filled with struggles and despair. Prayer has been huge this week. God has listened and answered our prayers. I'm thankful to God for fully restoring the sight of Cody Gerling, the husband of my good friend, Shawna. Cody was involved in a BB Gun accident and initially, things were looking very grim. He had no vision in his injured eye right after the accident on Sunday afternoon but Thursday he left the doctor with 20/20 vision. Truly a miracle.

Tonight I got a call from Amy's husband Mike. He had some bad news. Amy's cancer seems to have returned. What a blow. My sweet, beautiful friend who is 31 years young has to face this disease all over again. First time around Amy was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma in lungs, kidneys and liver. We asked for God to heal her and he did. The cancer was all gone. When we were in Colorado she starting feeling very sick so she and Mike came home early. Amy had a full body scan and the test came back clean. This was Feb 19th. Over the past few weeks she has still experienced pain in her neck and back. Once she noticed she couldn't write normal or hold her toothbrush normal she knew something was wrong. She went back for more tests and they found something in her spine and in her brain. The plan is to start chemo and radiation on Monday. This is devastating but Amy's faith is strong and her family is amazing. Please, please pray for her.
God's Word has the power to bring total healing and complete restoration.
Jeremiah 30: 17 "For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal the of thy wounds, says the Lord..."

Mathew 7:7 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened unto you"
