To the hundreds of people who have been praying for my mother, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. When cancer comes into your life, and it will at some point, you truly have to place your faith in something. As an individual who doesnt have everything figured out, there is one thing I know. God can still do miracles, He can still heal, He can still change the circumstances in our lives, He can still bring us a community of people who are prayer warriors. Mother went to the doctor today and another little miracle took place. She found that the small cancers that were in her body are so small that she was given a clean bill of health. The news was completely different than last week. Was it an accident, did the doctors change their minds, or did the Lord intervene? I believe He did and we are all so thankful. Every day of our life is a miracle. Each breath we take is an even greater miracle. To have people in our lives who love us enough to pray for us is one of the greatest blessings of all. Thank you for a family who truly believes in prayer. Can I share something with you though, a thought that reveals a weakness inside of me... I often pray out of a process, a spiritual obedience, a reactionary tradition and sometimes I dont believe my prayers will work. Its like praying with keeping your fingers crossed. I am sure the Lord looks at me and says, OH KEVIN OF LITTLE FAITH. It is often found rooted in a bad religious habit, verses a powerful faith. Its like I pray, but my faith is small, I sometimes dont believe I have a voice that my creator will respond to in a real tangible way? Why is that? Even when I have seen God do miracles over and over. I am constantly energized at Rabbis words as he prays believing. He prays knowing God listens. Yep, the older I get, the more I know I havent got this whole thing figured out yet regarding praying while truly believing. So its not just black and white and there are so many circumstances in every situation. So many times I have prayed and people have experienced crisis. Some have died, healing has not taken place too, and the way I wanted it to happen fell short. I find myself wanting to be prayer cautious, verses a radical reliantly proven faith. . So many times I have been out of HIS WILL so why would He do anything? The beautiful part of grace, is that I cant earn it or be good enough EVER to have the Lord do anything for me. This is the beauty of the gospel and the power of real love. He loves me in spite of who I am and why I am in the place that I am. Thank you Lord for giving us another little miracle and extending my mothers life. Thank you for healing during my unbelief and restoring because of your love for my mother and for others. Thank you friends and family who are with me in prayer. I love you all...
