We have much love in our hearts for all of you! This blog has been used as God's mouthpiece. Many times scriptures have been sent to us over this blog that were just the words Janni and Steve needed to keep going. You have no idea how much we have fed and shared your comments with each other and marveled at your love and wisdom as well as God's that was channeled through you. This blog is an instrument of His love.

I do not know what happened to my darling sister for she was to write tonight! I will let her fill you in on how our "precious miracle" is doing! Our family and our faith have also become a "precious miracle". It was a high price to pay, but Jesus paid it all. My heart is full to overflowing!

This morning in church as we were worshiping God in song, I became overwhelmed with gratitude and awe for what God did. Sobs of joy over took me, and confidence flooded my heart. I know Kole is healed! God confirmed it in my heart and soul. He has called me to believe and receive his healing for Kole much like He has called me to believe and receive healing for my sin infested heart from Christ's death and resurrection. There is so much to tell about our Lord! I do not have time tonight to write it all, I would still leave out much to write for it is impossible to capture it all in words! He is a glorious and kind and a true doting father. Love Him so---I say tenderly from the bottom of my heart. You will experience a bit of the kingdom of heaven on this earth along with a true belonging to the most precious One True God of this Universe and beyond. He is our "Abba Father"/Daddy. The veil has been lifted from our eyes, though we only see in part! The best is yet to come!

I have learned that it is true that the Kingdom of Heaven is for the children and for those who are willing to submit to being His child with child like neediness and child like awe and wonder. We have discovered the hidden treasure and the precious peal talked about in Mathew 13:44-46.

"The kingdom of heaven is like a hidden treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field"

(In other words it is to discover that it is way worth it to trade in this world and worldly pursuits for what God has in store for us. Along with pursuing God with passion and with everything you have got. You get places on your knees and in His Word.)

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it."

May I say we will never be the same again and this is only the beginning of what God has in store! We are over joyed! My prayer over a year ago in the Cleveland Clinic Chapel, as Kole was in surgery, was that we would become a family with "beautiful feet". Feet bringing the good news to this dieing and suffering world! There are plenty of priceless pearls to go around, to those who will "sell all that they have"! The pursuit of the kingdom in trade for the world's pursuits is victorious, joyful and "full" living. May all of you join us! We would love to serve with you "shoulder to shoulder". You are just as much "family", through Christ's blood!
