Author Archives: admin I love the story in Mark (2:1-12) where the paralyzed man is healed. So…this dude is completely paralyzed–but his boys are determined to see Him healed. DETERMINED. They believed! They believed if they could JUST get their friend to Jesus–he would be healed. It seemed impossible. The crowd was too much.

I add my AMEN today to what the Lord has already done, and to what He is going to do. The world better watch out indeed! And, for the record, you look really good without make up girl! ANDREA!!!!! YES!!!!! I have been so praying for you for this for several months now!!! I just know your transparency is going to be used to help others believe God for their healing!!! Thank you so much for sharing! Hey friend! I am praying for you and believing God for complete healing!! Our family is moving to the middle east this summer, so I’d appreciate your prayers for us…for all the details surrounding it! LOVE YOU!!! AND PRAYING FOR YOU BELIEVING WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I totally love your pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ***ps don’t care about your make up just glad you are feeling better!!!!! Andrea, PRAISE THE LORD for his healig hand and for using your illness to show those just how BIG our FATHER IS!!! You and your sweet family are always on my mind through out the week and I continue to pray that God continues to heal you and restore your health. I would be forever humbled and thankful if you would please pray for me. I traveled to Ethiopia in January to meet my sweet Isaiah and to go to court. Ever since coming home I have been sick. I have been in the ER three times and to my regular doctor numerous times. All my routine blood work looks fine, but I am just not myself. My stomach constantly hurts, I have horrible fatigue, at times I feel light headed, almost as if I am going to pass out. The last few weeks I have had a hard time catching my breath and I can’t lie I have been really scared. I have been checked for blood clots and praise Jesus I didn’t have any, but I am left not knowing what is wrong with me. I have loaded myself up on vitamins and pro biotics for the last few weeks but still feel bad. My entire body hurts all the time and this morning I couldn’t even get out of bed because my back and legs were hurting so bad. I don’t know if I will ever know what is going on with me, but I do know our God can heal me of whatever is going on with me and I just continue to pray that God heals me and restores my health so I can be 100% when it comes to my boys, not to mention my case got filed with embassy today!!!! So I could be traveling soon to bring my sweet boy home and I don’t have to tell you how important it is for me to be healthy :)I would be so thankful if you would pray for me!! I can’t wait to continue to watch and see how God heals you completely!! Blessings to you!! We have found that whenever we “act” on what we feel like we need to do for God the strangest diagnoses seem to crop up. You know what? We read every verse on healing out loud with the sick one & BELIEVE that those words are healing. Surprisingly whoever is sick gets better, even in the scariest situations. I don’t know if attacks on health are God testing & shaping us or the devil trying to distract us with fear. Either way, the power of prayer is absolutely real. It has been documented in medical studies that people who are “prayed for” by others get better faster. This is just the beginning. I know that God is loving the JOY in your house & that you will have even more to celebrate soon! Stay strong! That is an AWESOME fish face! So glad to hear that your eye is improving. So, even though you don’t know me, I will take you up on that offer of prayer. I have an interview tomorrow morning for a job that would be wonderful in many ways … for example, it is located one mile from my house. As you know, that is an unbelievable commute in Atlanta – well I guess anywhere. But there are many other things that make this seem like a God-made fit. Please pray for peace and clarity and that God will just provide the job for me that He fits His plans for me – whether it’s this one or one further down the road. I continue to pray for your healing. PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is amazing news!!!! And you look absolutely beautiful with no makeup!!!! Plus the boys are just adorable as usual! 😉 I am continuing to pray and believing with you for complete healing!! LOVE YOU! SO ,SO ,SO happy for you ,Andrea ! Praise God….the great healer. Andrea, I wrote a blog post in response to this post. Will you help us pray our daughter home? Praise God!!! This may sound strange, but every morning while in the shower I have been praying for you and for your healing! What great news to read this!!! And your eye looks great! Not sure if you got my FB message last week, but just wrote to say that you have been on my mind and in my prayers alot lately! So happy for you, friend!!!  My parents came in town this weekend so Richard and I could get away. We wanted to get away–just to have a day to pray together for this momma to be 100% again. This mom has some serious fog-brain tonight which makes it so hard to think of words–so I’m going to do my best […] Do I stand with you ~ ABSOLUTELY! Oh Andrea, I don’t know you, but I pray for you and HE is with you! Thank you for this post and all the others that have touched my life in so many ways. I needed this today, thank you! Yours words were so refreshing this morning. I am seeking His face with many what ifs regarding our adoption from Uganda. I look forward to meeting you in March at C4C! You are an inspiration always and the Lord is already being glorified! Praying for your healing also. Naomi I’ve been following your blog for a while now. We are on our agency’s wait list for a referral from Ethiopia and just when we thought we should be nearing the top of the list we find out that referrals are slowing WAY down and out time estimate got bumped out 3-6 more months. I’ve been so encouraged and challenged by your words of faith lately. This post in particular reminded me of the song, “You Are Mine” from Enter the Worship Circle. It is on the album Chair and Microphone vol. 3. Its the words from Isaiah in song. Thank you for sharing your story and calling us on to crazy faith. Andrea, I am doing Beth Moore’s study, “Believing God” right now with a group of my girls from a local transition home here in town…. I can’t wait to share this message with them. YOUR faith and belief in God is going to inspire them so much! I am always encouraged by you and I can’t wait for them to get to “meet you” too. Andrea, Continuing to pray for your healing. Continually grateful for your example! What if God is once again using your struggles, your pain to minister to and to help heal the hearts of others? Every single trial we go through strengthens our faith, but also gives us another way to connect to those around us who may be hurting. When we go through the trial ourselves we will know how to act to help someone else when they are suffering. Praying for God’s hand to be on you and to heal as you go through this time of affliction. Praying that that the fog will be lifted & that the birds will sing once again. (Job 36:14-16) 15 But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction. (1 Peter 4:1-3) whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. 2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. SURELY Goodness and Mercy will follow you ALL the days of your life dear Andrea. Surely. So glad you had that time at the monastery. You know that is where Susan goes regularly over the years in order to get away and spend time with God. If you haven’t heard her testimony from there when God called her to adoption you must! It is pretty amazing.  Just realized this never posted…and this is too sweet not to post:) So…a few days late–here goes:) ANOTHER BIRD… Remember yesterday when I told you about the momma, daddy and 4 little birds…and how I couldn’t bring myself (YET!) to purchase another little bird? Well–apparently my Frankie baby was moved to add one in faith;). […] Andrea- YOU ARE CRAZY!!! But in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE!!!!!!! And I am believing with you and your kids (whom I would like to say are AMAZING!) for your TOTAL AND COMPLETE HEALING!!! AND for your next child(ren). Because I can totally see you someday sporting a cool 15 passenger 🙂 You are just as beautiful as ever! I know what it’s like to pray for healing, and I saw God work a complete miracle in my life and health a few years ago! I am praying for healing for you too, sweet friend!!!  Today is Ash Wednesday–and this is when our journey through Lent begins. (If you would like to join us–it’s not too late! You can create your own ornaments each day…collect enough for the week ahead over the weekend or just read the scripture with your family each night. Here’s the post how to follow along […] You are speaking to my heart today! I made a commitment in my heart when realizing adoption from China was not in the cards (right now) to do specific things for others with those funds. Every time I give we receive a new attack-it’s crazy & shockingly predictable. Today the attack began on all sides & I have been praying for peace tonight, unable to sleep, just asking for God to not allow fear to keep me from stepping out in faith. Well, Matthew 17:20 is special to me because it is THE verse that I believed in & prayed over after trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for 3 years & we were blessed with not 1 but 2 miracle boys! This was just the reminder I needed to stay the course despite all obstacles. Thank you!Praying for healing for you & safety during travels for your family! Just quickly catching up Andrea…don’t seem to have much time for blog reading these days. As usual, love your honesty…your kids are blessed to have you as their mama. I’ll continue to pray for your health struggles. Also, wanted to thank you for a great Created for Care in January. All of our gang had a great time and it really was such a blessed weekend…I can home refreshed and refueled. |
