Miracle

I know I posted a link to Sarah and Joel's blog a few weeks ago, but I'm doing it again today: http://joelandsarahsjourney.wordpress.com.

You see, these aren't just people in my hometown. These are dear friends of ours, and to see them have to continually battle for health not only breaks my heart but it stirs up a righteous anger. This is not how it should be.

I cannot say enough about Sarah. Her blog is just a glimpse of the resilient, tender, determined, fierce, faithful woman that she is. She stands for her husband in a way that many people don't dare to do - and why shouldn't she? Our God is the God of miracles. As her recent post says, He is the God who parted the Red Sea, and He's the God who a month ago saved Joel's life once again. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. And day by day, He's giving this family the grace and strength to battle another day, and another day, and another day.

I ask you to pray for Joel. I ask you to dare to stand in full faith that this man will be healed, fully, completely. Come boldly before the throne of our merciful God and ask for restoration for this family. Be part of the army that has arisen to surround this family in prayer. And then, in the end, when he returns home, you'll know you had a part in one of the most powerful stories you've ever witnessed unfold.
