Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
I have to start with this verse because wow oh wow has God SO exceeded all expectations. Previously I have asked all of you to pray for two very special babies. Baby Harper and Baby Brayden! Well I don't know if you all have been reading up on them so I thought I would update you.
Baby Harper: Praise you Lord! We lift our hands in Praise! Kelly and Scott get to take their beautiful baby girl home tomorrow!!!!!!! If you go back and read the updates you will see that while we may not understand why someone would have to go through something like this God uses it for HIS GLORY!!! Kelly has been contacted by several who have accepted the Lord as their personal Savior because they see the faith in Kelly and Scott. Wow! That is for His Glory!
Baby Brayden: The Lord is a mighty Healer! He is doing really well. They are still trying to get him to take a bottle. They will be running tests on Friday to find out why he won't take a bottle. There is no less Praise to be given here because Gods miraculous hands are at work in their lives and those around them as well. Do you realize that they are not just begging for prayers for themselves but begging their readers to Pray for the other babies!!!

There are several lessons here for you and me (this is being shared with y'all because I NEED TO HEAR IT MYSELF)! Through everything that goes on in our lives, the good and the bad, we never know who is watching. How we handle it can be a more powerful testimony than what we say to that person directly!!! 1 Corinthians 10:31 tells us:
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
Also this goes to show the amazing power of prayer! So please don't give up on prayer (even when you don't get the answer you are looking for!), and when you say you are going to pray PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRAY!!! In Ephesians 6:10-18 it talks about the Armor of God:
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
Notice that in the end it says to pray! Also in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 it says:
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
So please KEEP ON PRAYING!
Pray for:
Our troops!
Our President and other leaders!
Our Children!
Our Marriages!
Keep on praying for these precious little ones and those like them!
Just Keep on Praying!!!

Well said!
I always say I believe in Prayer and yet.....I'm always amazed at God's glorious answers. Is that in itself not contradicting my saying that I believe in prayer!
Praise God for the healing he has done and will continue to do for these precious babies!
