Here is an email that my sister had sent me from someone that had thought of me. It is very influential and speaks completely of out situation with Kole. Just to let you know God has been so merciful. Kole has been in very little pain. He is basically frustated by his inability to do anything. He sleeps quite often now but he sleeps in peace. Just recently as I was singing to Jesus he showed himself to me and then he kissed Kole. He is here. Today, He told me that I am not losing Kole but I am gaining a miracle. This miracle will glorify my name. Praise the Lord.
Janni, Jamie "Boehr" was doing her devotions this morning and came across this and made a special effort to give it to me to give to you! If God put it on her heart it must be from Him."After forty years had passed, an angel apeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai....Then the Lord said to him,"...I have indeed seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to set them free. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt." (Acts 7:30, 33-34) commentary in a Devotional for March 22.
Forty years was a long time to wait in preparation for a great mission. Yet when God delays, He is not inactive. This is when He prepares His instruments and matures our strength. Then at the appointed time we will rise up and be equal to our task. Even Jesus of Nazareth had thirty years of privacy, growing in wisdom before He began His work. (John Henry Jowett) God is never in a hurry. He spends years preparing those He plans to greatly use, and never thinks of the days of preparation as being too long or boring. The most difficult ingredient in suffering is often time. A short, sharp pain is easily endured, but when a sorrow drags on its long and weary way year after monotonous year, returning day after day with the same dull routine of hopeless agony, the heart looses its strength. Without the grace of God, the heart is sure to sink into dismal despair. Joseph endured a long trial, and God often has to burn the lessons he learned into the depths of our being, using the fires of prolonged pain. "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver" (Mal. 3:3), yet He knows the specific amount of time that will be needed. Like a goldsmith, God stops the fire the moment He sees His image in the glowing metal. Today we may be unable to see the final outcome of the beautiful plan that God has hidden "in the shadow of his hand" may rest in the assurance that God is still seated on His throne. Because of this assurance, we can calmly await the time when, in heavenly delight, we will say, "All things (have) work(ed) together for good (Rom. 8:28)". As Joseph did, we should be more careful to focus on learning all the lessons in the school of sorrow than to focus anxious eyes toward the time of our deliverance. There is a reason behind every lesson, and when we are ready, our deliverance will definitely come. Then we will know we could never have served in our place of higher service without having been taught the very things we learned during our ordeal. God is in the process of educating us for future service and greater blessing. And if we have gained the qualities that make us ready for a throne, nothing will keep us from it once His timing is right. Don't steal tomorrow from God's hands. Give Him time to speak to you and reveal His will. He is never late--learn to wait, "He never shows up late; He knows just what is best; Fret not your self in vain; until He comes just REST" Never run impulsively ahead of the Lord. Learn to await His timing--the second, minute, and hour hand must all point to the precise moment for action.
This is completely plagerized.
Love,
Jodi
God spoke to me just the other day. He has been asking me to just trust him in everyway. I like to take things in my own hands. He said, "Janni, Aren't my hands the best? Just trust me. Kole will be restored. Trust me with him and the timing."
Thank you Jamie for sending this to me. God speaks in many ways.
Love,
Janni

Kole and your family is remembered in our daily prayers.
Waiting upon the Lord...what a difficult thing to do. Yet be encouraged, as out of that waiting, that trusting, He brings deep healing and blessing.
We believe God is at work in your family for the sake of His glory. We are praying for your strength and patient endurance!
THE COMMAND (Psalms 27, 37)
14 Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.
7 Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act.
THE OBEDIENCE (Psalm 40)
1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me…
THE BLESSING (Psalm 40)
1 …and he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.
3 He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God.
4 Oh, the joys of those who trust the LORD, who have no confidence in the proud or in those who worship idols.
5 O Lord my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them.
THE GLORY (Psalm 40)
8 I take joy in doing your will, my God, for your instructions are written on my heart.”
9 I have told all your people about your justice. I have not been afraid to speak out, as you, O Lord, well know.
10 I have not kept the good news of your justice hidden in my heart; I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power. I have told everyone in the great assembly of your unfailing love and faithfulness.
16 But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “The Lord is great!”
(New Living Translation)
