I've walked through many seasons of my life.
Seasons of intense faith with eyes fixed forward on The Word.
Seasons of valleys that were narrow. And hard. And cold. And dark. With a blindfold the whole way.
Seasons of middle ground. No mountaintops. No crevices. Just middle ground. Me and God. Doing our thing.
But let me just tell you that I have been hurled head first into unknown territory this past week.
I've never been surrounded by so many prayer warriors in my life. Let me rephrase: I've never been surrounded by so many prayer warriors that were praying for me and for my family.
Up until now my walk with my Jesus has been just that: MY walk. A walk that Jesus and I shared together and we would sometimes involve the husband or a friend here and there or my family. But never has my walk with Jesus been joined by heaps and mounds of Jesus-lovin' folks.
Our church family has extended their love to our family like nothing we've ever experienced before. Our friends are genuinely concerned, not just Lee-Press-On-Nails concerned. And the knowledge that there are people on every corner of this globe praying for our precious Sawyer through this blog and some of my other web-related connections is enough to make me do the ugly cry.
I stand of awe of my Precious Jesus. He's healing my redheaded rascal, without a doubt, because we asked Him to. Because YOU asked Him to.
He is Jehovah Rapha! The God Who Heals!
And my socks are blessed off that you walked this road with us and are able to be a part of such an amazing miracle.
Thank You isn't enough for what your prayers and thoughts have meant to us.
I'm praying heaps and mounds of blessings are dumped all over your noggins, my sweet friends.

Update on Sawyer:
~~ Our little man had a really good night last night. He responded fabulously to the new pain medications that the doctor prescribed, and he was able to rest peacefully and comfortably. Today the mobility in his neck has increased ten-fold and continues to show vast signs of improvement. We are just beside ourselves with the evidence of healing miracles!

Dear Adopted Big sister,
I've been praying for your family, and Sawyer. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Adopted Little sister aka Taylor Gail (:
So glad to hear that Sawyer is doing better! I'll be praying for you guys as he continues to progress toward complete health:)
Oh, Amber. I'm so glad to read this post, and to hear that your precious little guy is improving. It has to be the WORST thing ever to see your child suffer, not matter what at what level - it still hurts our mommy hearts. Praying for you all - love you, girl.
Amber, I have been praying for Sawyer and thinking about you all so much! I am so happy to hear good news. It's so hard to see your baby unable to get comfortable and peaceful. It sounds like God is pouring peace on all of you today!
p.s. I loved your note last week. It made me cry. Let's catch up soon!
Amb,
I just returned from Israel last night and its the first time I've been able to touch a computor since I left on the 1st. Wanted you to know the team of seven were all praying for Sawyer, in addition to some of the Lord's workers over there. We had special times of prayer for him. Even prayed for him in the Garden of Gethsemane and that was special, too.
Glad to be home and have him doing better. Continuing to lift him and all of you in prayer - sorry to have missed seeing you in the exchange of rascals yesterday. Hope you got home safe.
Tell Sawyer I've some Israel gifts for him and the others.
Love you,
Jim-Dad
Praise God!!! So glad Sawyer's pain is leaving! Sounds like he's a little trooper. I'm sure you're all feeling better after a good nights sleep. We're still praying for complete recovery!
Love you bunches!!
yay! So glad to hear it!!!!
that is a truly beautiful picture at the end of this post! Praise God!
So thankful for a good report! It's an honor to pray with/for you, friend! Love you!!
Can you even imagine walking through this w/o a saving knowledge of Jesus? Thank you for YOUR faith, Amber. And for asking for our prayers. It's an honor to stand in the gap.
