Part 2 - I BELIEVE!

Matthew 21:22 "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

One of the BIGGEST things that happened, the night I went into ICU that Friday, was the outpouring of love and prayer. I'm a believer. There is NOTHING like the love of Jesus. Nothing at all. And I feel Him in my bones every day.

I'm not sure of all the ways it got around but my friends and church family heard that I might not make it and here they came. They came and stood over me and prayed for me. A friend told me that one of my favorite pastors led a prayer so powerful that she felt like they were having church over me. Which is exactly the way I would have wanted it. There were so many in and out that night praying that it affected the nurses too. I vaguely remember one of them talking to me about it the next day after I woke up. She said she prayed for me, as well, and I cried when she told me. I later found out that there was a church in Thailand praying for me and Ian's best friend, Alex, was in Florida at camp and had his team praying for me. Oh my goodness at the prayer that went up that night from so many different people in so many different places. Close friends and family...people I hardly knew.....people I've never met. They prayed for ME.

It was something my sweet sister had never seen before. She said they prayed me right back to life.

And she was right.

I TOTALLY believe that. Prayer is powerful.

POWERFUL.

James 5: 14-16  Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

As I close this post, I'm doing so 12 hours from another surgery. I know Jesus is with me. And I know you will all be praying. Thank you. :)

I'm so very ordinary

Nothing special on my own
I have never walked on water
I have never calmed a storm
Sometimes I'm hiding away
From the madness around me
Like a child who's afraid of the dark

But when I call on Jesus
All things are possible
I can mount on wings like eagles and soar
When I call on Jesus
Mountains are gonna fall
'Cause He'll move heaven
And earth to come rescue me when I call

Weary brother
Broken daughter
Widowed, widowed lover
You're not alone
If you're tired and
Scared of the madness around you
If you can't find the strength to carry on

When you call on Jesus
All things are possible
You can mount on wings like eagles and soar
When you call on Jesus
Mountains are gonna fall
'Cause He'll move heaven
And earth to come rescue you when you

Call Him in the mornin'
In the afternoon time
Late in the evenin'
He'll be there
When your heart is broken
And you feel discouraged
You can just remember that He said
He'll be there

When I call on Jesus
All things are possible
I can mount on wings like eagles and soar
When I call on Jesus
Mountains are gonna fall
'Cause He'll move heaven
And earth to come rescue me when I fall

When I call on Jesus
All things are possible
I can mount on wings like eagles and soar
When I call on Jesus
Mountains are gonna fall
'Cause He'll move heaven
And earth to come rescue me when I fall
