Prayer Request for Josiah...

Below is a prayer request from Josiah's father, for those of you who have prayed for him in the past I wanted to make sure you saw this, and for those who are new to this site, please join us in praying for the miraculous! You can go here to see my original prayer request for this precious one. Thanks for your prayers...

Late last week we received a call from Dr. Blount, the head neurosurgeon. From the conversation a few new issues have emerged:

First after dialoguing with more “thoughtful colleagues”, Dr. Blount has determined not to go through with the procedure he initially planned in late February. Through these discussions it was determined that the initial course of action would have likely not had the desired effect, thus leaving Josiah’s skull with another unprotected area. Obviously, God knew what he was doing when the previous surgery was canceled and he sent us for pancakes.

Second, he asked us to bring Josiah in this Friday, April 3^rd at 11:30 am (a time that was just confirmed today)for another visit. After more scanning Dr. Blount, along with a colleague, will sit with us and share their collective thoughts. Among other things, Dr. Blount stated that they just want to see if there has been any noticeable growth in the area.

Upon hearing these words, tears swelled. Our prayer is that come Friday the scans will reveal substantial restoration. I recently went back to the journal entries (specifically September 14^th – 18^th) and recalled what was initially perceived through the eyes of man: death or irreparable brain damage. I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to read these pages without feeling both the weight of who God is and the blessed hope found in His name. He miraculously moved on behalf of His kingdom.

This said, I invite you to join us in fasting and prayer for the miraculous. Beginning April 1^st until 12 noon on the 3^rd, we invite you to participate in a bread and liquid fast. The focus is renewed hunger for His righteousness and a petition that His power allow Josiah’s skull to regenerate. Certainly this request is not intended for everyone, nor are we looking to “hear” from you. We just ask that you listen for the Spirit’s leading in this matter - is this to be your work?

More to come, Grace and Peace
