Shake, Rattle, and Roll!

We have some very exciting news to report tonight! While mom was playing with Grace today, she put a rattle in Grace's hand and began shaking the hand. Then, after mom stopped, Grace began to shake the rattle! This process repeated several times. This activity showed intentional, intelligent movement, and is the most active Grace has been since the incident!

Mom and dad had a grief counselor visit Grace's brothers today. She is from the hospital, and has experience explaining difficult situations to children in terms that they can understand. That went very well too.

Please pray for:
  • Complete restoration and healing for Grace
  • Discernment in hiring the right help.
  • Medication weaning to be successful
  • Sensitivity of those around the family during this trying time
  • Financial Provision (If you are interested in helping in this way please e-mail info@gracegoodday.com)

Praise God that Grace is completely healed by Jesus' stripes. Praise God that Grace is conscious of her surroundings and is responding to stimuli.

Praise God that Grace is successfully weaned from all medications and that her brain and body are completely healed in Jesus' Name. She is redeemed by the blood of the lamb.

Praise God for the grief counselor who is ministering to Grace's brothers. Praise God for healing these two precious little ones from all the circumstances they have faced during this time. God's angels and the Holy Spirit are with this family at all times.

Praise God for discernment and wisdom for Mom and Dad as they choose caregivers for Grace.

Praise God for sensitivity for those surrounding the family at this time. Praise God for His peace and His presence in this
home. Praise God for restoration of everything that has been stolen from them. Only God's blessings are flowing to them.

Praise God for financial blessings and for His complete provision for this family.

Praise God for every person who is praying daily for this family.

Shalom -- nothing missing, nothing broken.

Praise God! I can't wait to see all of Grace's new accomplishments. I will be back in town next week. But for now, hugs. Still praying.

Grace, we thank God for every moment and every step forward for you! We love you and your family and pray for healing and complete restoration in your health and in your family, in every way!

Father, thank you for every indication of healing and health. Thank you for encouraging the hearts of all who have been praying for this dear family for these weeks...and thank you God for the ways you lead and guide and direct our paths. Help us to continue to come to you for every need and to bring our praises and thanksgiving to you as well!

Continue to help us know how we can best support and encourage this family...give everyone involved wisdom and discernment in the decisions for caregivers, medication changes, day to day activities, etc.

Father God, we know you will provide every need for this family but you may use all of us in some way to accomplish your work...keep us all in the very palm of your hand!

Amen and Amen!!!
Lisa and Tim
