As a matter of fact Sami (our little one who is the same age as Luke) has been specifically asking for Prayer for Luke. 3 times in the last 24 hours she has brought it up and told the whole story in her ability. He is really on her heart. God is moving and we are agreeing together with you that it will be speedy! Amen.<BR/><BR/>Our love to you,<BR/>The TurnersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149697.post-1159601791664998422006-09-30T00:36:00.000-07:002006-09-30T00:36:00.000-07:00Oh Sue, it was so good to read this blog entry ton...Oh Sue, it was so good to read this blog entry tonight. I think of you all very often. My computer still acts up and lots of nights I get on... blog a little and get off. I am on dial up but even slower than that. I am still praying.... even when I do not stop by. <BR/><BR/>I have been very emotional lately. The least little thing makes me cry. I am 45 today. It is in the wee hours of the morning (3oth). I need to totally lay everything at the feet of Jesus. I understand but in a different way... how you can be happy/rejoicing but sad/discouraged too! <BR/><BR/>I love my children being home with me~ I am so very thankful God has allowed me to be the mother of children.... <BR/><BR/>YOU have been and continue to be a blessing to me~ I keep missing your calls but we will talk soon. <BR/><BR/>remember I love ya~ and we all love all of you. Could you give Luke... a big hug from his buddies Wyatt & Wesley? <BR/><BR/>YOUR GA friends,<BR/>Billy, Teena, Michael, Mandi, Dakota, Alyssa, Wyatt & WesleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149697.post-1159364928777207412006-09-27T06:48:00.000-07:002006-09-27T06:48:00.000-07:00Sue,Isabelle's knees do bend perfectly.

She didn't need it in her knees. I thought the botox was really helpful and the phenol was probably even better. (they used a combo) Anyway, the answer is YES. I feel like I am on a teeter totter many days and really pray that I am not trying to manage Izzy's recovery or to force it but yet to follow the leads I am given and do what I should on my end while trusting God at the same time. Matt said just yesterday that if we are doing three hours of patterning, we should spend that much time in God's word because it is just as important in her recovery and healing. I think as mothers we second guess ourselves a lot. I try to pray before doing anything new and then I try to listen and let myself be led rather than just rushing into it. <BR/>I hope you are having a blessed week and that Luke is doing GREAT!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16910919508996307906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149697.post-1159316405362860512006-09-26T17:20:00.000-07:002006-09-26T17:20:00.000-07:00God bless you, Sue.

I am encouraged to hear that Luke received good reports from both his doctor appointments, but I can sense how you would feel about them not believing there would be a change in his condition. We are praying right along with you and trusting God for Luke's complete healing, even if it is a little bit at a time. Thank you for taking the time to keep us updated, I'm always excited when I click on Luke's site and a new update is posted.<BR/>In Christ,<BR/>Catherine and familyCarmichael Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086000399096229228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149697.post-1159253913314293072006-09-25T23:58:00.000-07:002006-09-25T23:58:00.000-07:00There is a wideness in God's mercy,Like the widene...There is a wideness in God's mercy,<BR/>Like the wideness of the sea;<BR/>There is a kindness in His justice,<BR/>Which is more than liberty.<BR/><BR/>There is a welcome for the sinner,<BR/>And more graces for the good;<BR/>There is mercy with the Savior;<BR/>There is healing in His blood.<BR/><BR/>For the love of God is broader<BR/>Than the measure of man's mind;<BR/>And the heart of the Eternal,<BR/>Is most wonderfully kind.<BR/><BR/>If our love were but more simple<BR/>We should take Him at His word;<BR/>And our lives would be all sunshine,<BR/>In the sweetness of our Lord.<BR/><BR/>Be thankful for God's mercies, <BR/>they are new every morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149697.post-1159236304225947372006-09-25T19:05:00.000-07:002006-09-25T19:05:00.000-07:00Sue & family,I have been reading Hebrews 11 too, o...Sue & family,<BR/>I have been reading Hebrews 11 too, only using in The New Living Translation.

Singing that song just made me realize, God is always in control, He is always on his throne, no matter how our lives may seem to be going...and you have been a wonderful example to me of someone who, even in difficult times, still has faith in Christ and can still say "Blessed be the name of the Lord!"<BR/>God bless you,<BR/>Alane Bristowalanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740498791453763901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149697.post-1159109832316443972006-09-24T07:57:00.000-07:002006-09-24T07:57:00.000-07:00Sue,I felt your experiences at the dr. appointment...Sue,<BR/>I felt your experiences at the dr. appointments while reading about them. It isn't that there is "bad" news... just that it is a reminder of where we are right now. I think at home I am able to look at all my scriptures and meditate on God's word and promises so much that going into the 'world' is sometimes a slap in the face of a different reality... That may not make sense. I focus on believing God before believing what my physical eyes see. It's just easier at home. I will continue to lift Luke up in prayer and pray that today is the day that he does walk and talk! <BR/>In Him,<BR/>AnnieAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16910919508996307906noreply@blogger.com
