Hello friends–
I have struggled to find words (shock, gasp, I know)  so I put off this post for a bit.. because I wanted to savor every moment in my heart.. and I wanted to be able to find the perfect words to share about this God sized dream miracle story.  We have been on a journey studying this awesome book You’re Made for a God-sized Dream by Holley Gerth this summer.  This chapter, the 2nd to last chapter is titled God-sized dream stories.

sometimes God sized dreams seem so powerful we could burst from the excitement
and scariness of it all.  If God is working on us through the journey and not just the 
destination we want to give Him some serious glory in the process
So here goes:
Glory!
See more then any other God sized dream I am pursuing, this year has been about believing God for the God-sized dream of HEALING my Dad from a rare and aggressive leukemia that He was diagnosed with February 21st.  a rare and aggressive leukemia with a very high mortality rate.  But our family dreamed for something more.. that our God could heal!

My Dad clinging to the cross in His 31 day hospital stay .. we covered His room in scripture and belief and hope in the God who heals..

 This is the room He spent 31 days.. erlanger 7069.. where We asked God to hold us when we could not

 First time my Dad could have coffee in the hospital.

We turned those sacred halls into worship sanctuaries.
It was not easy.
It was harder then hard.
But we believed God for the God sized dream of healing
And when we could not hold up the body of Christ held us.
I believe God himself came with His everlasting arms of love and squeezed us tight.
31 days later a man docs said would not survive left the hospital..
Still with cancer– still with aggressive leukemia
still holding on to hope in the God who heals
The God who does the impossible.
Daily hospital visits for a chemo iv drip of arsnic
6 months of this.. holding hope and held by Hope.
Learning that we can hold onto hope because the One who is HOPE is holding onto us.
In the middle of that my sister and her husband in a freak automobile accident involving a deer propelled like a missile through their windshield.  Us not knowing if Hope (my now 10 month old niece) and her precious daddy would survive.
We held hope.
Hope Held us.
Guess what.. six months later.. our God sized dream.. 
HEALING!
Thursday July 25th goes down in God sized dream history
My Dad and His doctor exchange scripture cards every time they see each other.
The last one my Dad’s doctor had drawn from my Dad’s pile was this
Thursday He said when we walked in to get results from Dad’s bone marrow biopsy, you are going to need this card back.  He had my Dad read it, then He said you are going to want to read your results for yourself.
On the paper was written .. GREAT!!
Then it said results of 4 tests: 0.0000 trace of leukemia.
Gone
Healed
Whole
Done
It is finished
God
Sized
Miracle!
There was some glory shouting going on.
our God sized dream
Come
True
It was surreal as those chains of cancer fell from our family.
We went back to that hospital floor that we had turned into worship halls and hugged those nurses and told the glory story.
We went back to the ICU where the doc had said my dad would not make it through the night, and if He did He would be a vegetable.
Our God.. has done..the impossible.
How can I pray for the impossible in your life?
Psalms 103:  Bless the Lord oh my soul and forget not His benefits
Who heals all your diseases!
