The three big kids and I went to church for the first time I a long time on Friday night. Since Luke has been home, we have really limited our exposure to the germs of the outside world. But as Luke gets older, stronger and healthier, we are able to do some of the things we love once again. Yes, church is one of them. We LOVE our church home at Acts 2 UMC. When Luke first came home and was in the hospital, Eli would get upset when he had to miss church and would ask us each week if we could go.
It was wonderful to worship God again! It always renews my soul. This weekend, the sermon was (and is for those reading this today), about healing. God's ability to heal anything. Our job is to pray for healing and accept that we do not and should not understand the how or why of who God heals and who he doesn't. The other point I want to share is that it isn't related to "how much faith you have". People of little or no faith have been healed throughout history, and saints and disciples of Christ have not.
On Friday night, those who wanted to could kneel and ask for specific healing after communion. We all went and knelt together. Eli asked for "Luke's veins" (meaning lungs) to be healed. We also asked for the kids' allergies and Jordan and Drew's asthma to be healed. They get weekly allergy shots and we all would love to be done with them! I asked for healing of my endometriosis so that I don't need surgery in the future.
Our prayers for Luke have been answered!! I know god has been healing his body completely since he got sick in December, but He answered our specific healing prayer this weekend. LAST NIGHT, LUKE WENT ALL NIGHT WITHOUT NEEDING ANY SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN!! Not only did he keep his oxygen levels up while he slept, they actually are staying higher than they have ever been, even when he is awake! Praise God and thank you from all or us!!!!
