Last I posted I shared how I had been sick. Thank God I am well, but our granddaughter is in the biggest battle of her 12 year old life.
Tom and I drove to Atlanta a month ago to help and have been with them ever since. We are believing God is restoring Norah to health, but it will take time.
We wanted to share her story with you for two reasons:
1. To bring awareness to this horrible disorder that is effecting the lives of hundreds if not thousands of children every year. It is called PANDAS, which stands for Pediatric Autoimmune Neurological Disorder Associated with Strep. There is a 20/20 special on Netflix about it that we encourage you to watch in order to be informed and able to help others who may be facing a similar nightmare as we have!
2. To ask for you to pray for Norah. She is a fighter and has done all she can to keep going by the grace God supplies. You can read more about her journey by clicking on the following link.
We will be back sharing with you encouragement for your marriage once this crisis is over. Thank you for understanding and mostly for your prayers!
“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
Philippians 4:6 ESV
Blessings!
Lord, we raise our voices high
that you might bend to listen
to our aching heartfelt cry,
and see our tears a-glisten.
Lord, we ask your intercession
for rescue’s only by your grace
that we will not doubt or question;
but please, Lord, here show your face.
We are nothing on our own,
less than children, born to dust,
but through Christ your love’s been shown
and in that love we place our trust.
Let healing touch restore the days
warmed now by the Son’s own rays.

Praying also for healing. Our son took a fall that broke his neck, by Gods’ healing he is walking and doing nearly everything, as before. We claim it as a miracle and God is in the healing business! He is married with 3 kiddos and shows his scar, as Gods Miracle…. Hang in there….Life is tough, but God will see us through……
