Faith is stronger than fear! this is a quote that Jake repeats before every baseball game! Honestly, I can't remember who said it, but it is a nice thing to remember! I can honestly say that over the past 3 or 4 years my faith has grown immeasurably!! God has used so many things in my life to grow my faith! The biggest things have been Jaxsen's miraculous recovery from crazy illnesses and the life of my baby sister, Carri, and her husband, Lance! If you are reading this and you don't know them, then you are missing out! They are amazing! They don't pretend to be perfect and finally realize that they don't have to be to be loved! I love watching God working in their lives! They have such a powerful testimony and I am so blessed to watch it constantly evolve!
Over the past week, God gave me a new, and very powerful, lesson in faith! My friend Jessica's daughter, Aaris, had open-heart surgery! She is Jaxsen's age! It was quite a faith journey for anyone who witnessed it! Aaron and Jessica were incredible! They kept a blog on a care page through the hospital, keeping everyone informed of Aaris's progress and what we could all be praying for! It was just incredible! Each time they posted a specific request, the message board lit up with prayers and well wishes for Aaris and her family...and as God tends to do He pulled through in Mighty ways! The next post would be how He had answered our prayers for that specific thing! I can't imaging how many people were touched through their great faith, in such a difficult and stressful time! I was blown away, once again, by the power of our MIGHTY GOD! He is SO GOOD! Props, also, to all of my precious friends~ who don't even know the Denningtons~ who fasted, have been praying, and have been calling for updates! You are all so amazing and Jess appreciates you more than you will ever know!
Just a brief history...Jessica lived 2 doors down from me in the dorm @ Lubbock Christian University! She was someone who I looked up to and adored! I reconnected with her on My Space and could not be happier to have her as a friend! She is a woman of great faith who is totally beautiful on the inside and out!
Thank you God for caring for sweet Aaris...and for growing so many people's faith in the process!
All Glory and Honor and Praise to Him!
