Good News

Throughout this week, we have been privileged to witness a miracle and want to share it with you. Little Benjamin is full of energy, bright eyed, and funny. The skin on his right leg is smoother and lighter in color, the leg softer where it had been very firm from ankle to upper calf and very blue and purple, the actual diameter of the tumor is smaller and his ankle (where it seemed to start) is beginning to be more defined. I can begin to feel the achilles tendon just above his heel where we couldn't before, and he is now "standing" on my tummy when I hold him up, like his twin sister does, pushing his legs up against me. Before, he wouldn't try and would just let his leg collapse. His weekly doctor appointment was a joy: his pediatrician smiled and said he really needed to see this as he had to admit a baby to the hospital earlier.

We are giving glory to our Father, who in the power of the Spirit and in answer to believing, mighty prayer, is turning this around for His glory and honor. Is anything too hard for Him? Is there anyone like Him? Be encouraged, fear not! If God is with us, who can possibly be against us? Our gratitude is without measure.

I am praying for each of you who have prayed, a perfect prayer from the Word of God: Ephesians 1:17-20 "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places." Amen. Be abundantly blessed. In Him, Jane

I know the praise reports will continue to come in with each doctors visit.
