Julia, we are all praying for you. The successful surgery is a blessing, every step forward is Jesus trampling the enemy. Keep your eyes on him and you will find an abundance of strength to lift you out of the hard times. We love you very much.

Julia … I cannot even begin to tell you how much of an inspiration you have been to me throughout this trial that you are going through. In Kingdom Kidz we are teaching the children that “God created the world and everything in it for His glory”. Your struggles and how you have responded to them glorifies God on so many levels. You are an object lesson in how to glorify God amidst times of pain and suffering. Thank you again for your transparency and faithfulness. You are so greatly loved and prayed for constantly. Diana

Ohhh Julia, this is such a welcome surprise after 2 weeks of obsessive compulsive praying! It is so clear that even though being Christ is far better, God needs you here, I mean we need you to encourage us and bless us in the years to come! Someday your journey will fill our shelves and we as your crowd of cheering witnesses will scramble for your autograph as living proof of His ability to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think! I continue to pray often throughout each day for you and count it an honor to be a profit sharer of what God is doing in you amazing and miraculous journey. “He is faithful who promised”

You have been on my mind and in my prayers so much and it is good to hear from you with this update. I’m sorry to hear about your leg nerve damage and will definitely pray for that healing as well. You are facing this battle with courage that can only come from God. May the prayers of thousands continue to hold you up and support you during these difficult days

Julia, ( we wanted to share this poem with you ) Love Gayle, and Marilyn Todd ( my mother ) 

The Master Weaver’s Plan

My life is but a weaving
Between the Lord and me;
I may not choose the colors–
He knows what they should be.

For He can view the pattern
Upon the upper side
While I can see it only
On this, the under side.

Sometimes He weaves in sorrow,
Which seems so strange to me;
But I will trust His judgment
And work on faithfully.

‘Tis He who fills the shuttle,
And He knows what is best;
So I shall weave in earnest,
And leave to Him the rest.

Not ’til the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.

The dark threads are as needed
In the Weaver’s skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.

Dear Julia and Andy,
Thank you for sharing so honestly and humbly about this most difficult diversion in your life journey, and your “confidence in our all powerful, all loving God.” I am sorry to hear of your pain and cries. Your focus on scripture for hope and daily strength is a great reminder to us all. Like Proverbs 37:23 “The Lord makes firm the steps of one who delights in Him” is precious , along with the Lord’s great compassion to our cries as you note in Lamentations 3. I am praying for you both, in your day to day struggle….with your suspended lives …. and praying that there is miraculous healing happening within you. I will pray that you will be able to experience God’s goodness, peace and hope this Thanksgiving holiday. I pray also that your leg and mobility is improving. David Jeffrey
