This Blog is for the purpose of keeping family, friends and prayer warriors informed on the status of our son Luke. It is a journal of the Searles family journey after the drowning accident of their 17 month old son Luke, who drowned in their back yard pool on August 30, 2004. He was dead for at least 40 minutes before God brought him back to life. Please continue to join with us in prayer for the complete restoration of his brain and body.

Sue...
I went to Romania, in March with a Women's team to help put on a Women's conference to bless the women there. I was able to go visit a very small church out in the country. I am pictured with a farmer's wife in front of their tractor that they asked me to pray a blessing over. I keep busy at home with the kids, homeschooling and keeping things running smoothly around the home. We had a wonderful time going to Mexico to pick up the kids, going to Disneyland, and visiting our friends the Hurtado's. This year has been a year of extreme ups and downs. I'm so thankful that God chose to spare Luke's life, there have been times of growing as I'm learning daily to trust in the Lord with all of my heart and not to lean on my own understanding. I would choose to have Luke healed completely today, but God has chosen to take us down a slow road of recovery, I know that he has used the blog to minister to many people and to bring them closer to God. I've had to learn more about Trachs, meds, and caring for a severely handicapped child then I ever wanted to know. I'm praying that this year will be a year of healing for Luke and our family and that He will continue to give us the strength to get through each and every day. I would like to thank all of you that have kept us in your prayers, they keep us going!

I've tried so many times to send a comment, let's see if I've learned anything yet...
Sue, you are such a blessing to me. Each time I look at the blog, I am lifted and once again, God's faithfulness is proven.
We are in Columbus, Georgia and have been praying for Luke and your family ever since Jesse & Rebekah told us of the accident.
We'd love for you to visit (when you take your vacation). Tell the kids we have a Cracker Barrel here too :-). If you come, we'd probably have you speak at the church, so if all you want is a vacation, maybe this isn't the best place to take some of it :-).
Please know that I continue to pray for you all.
I know the Lord blesses you,
Cheri Melton
Wow, Chris who posted is only about 3 hours from us! We could come visit you too... or you could come visit us! I would love to hear you all speak!!! You also bless me so very much.
your Ga. Friend,
