Faith and Free to Go

Jacob got a good report from Dr. Ahn and Kelly today.  We are cleared to come home and hope to start our trip back tomorrow morning.  Dr. Ahn was particularly impressed with how quickly he had started walking again, especially after not being able to do so for 70 days.  Thank you Jesus!!


Please pray that Jacob's back and legs (especially) will do well on the long trip and that we will arrive back safely in Chattanooga (please, Lord, no more deer encounters). 


Through Jacob's story and by faith in His name (faith that only He can grant), the Lord has demonstrated His power, grace, mercy and love over and over again.  By this same faith that brought Jacob and us through the storms of travel and surgery, we believe He can and will use it again to bring rain to put out the wildfires.  He tells us in His Word that if we have faith the size of a tiny mustard seed, we can move mountains.  Or in this case, bring rain that is not in the forecast.




1 Kings 18:41-45 ESV
And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, for there is a sound of the rushing of rain.” So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Mount Carmel. And he bowed himself down on the earth and put his face between his knees. And he said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” And he went up and looked and said, “There is nothing.” And he said, “Go again,” seven times. And at the seventh time he said, “Behold, a little cloud like a man's hand is rising from the sea.” And he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Prepare your chariot and go down, lest the rain stop you.’” And in a little while the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain.

I have faith that when we get home there will be a great rain, sufficient enough to put the fires out.

Trust in Him
