Seriously, I have so much catching up on my blogs. Its been way too long and so much has happened. I've got 10 blogs trapped in my brain that are just waiting to be released right now. But there is only one as urgent as this.
Our youth pastor's family was in a serious car crash on Sunday evening. Their 2 year old son's life is at the mercy of God right now. He had major head injuries, went into immediate surgery and now we are all waiting...
I have been deeply impacted to watch my church and other Ottawa churches completely embrace this family. Prayer vigils were set up right away, food and money given, people gathering in the waiting room praying together...I am moved with how the Body or Christ has functioned. What has moved me the most is that my convictions are being shaken. I am confronted with the question, do I really believe that my prayers, my fasts, my cries out to God for mercy on little Luca's life will be heard? Sometimes, we do just have to go on the faith that God says He hears our prayers and therefore I am choosing to act in obedience to pray and be an advocate for his healing.
I don't know the outcome - none of us do right now. But it is an absolute privilege to join with my church family and to fight the only way we can right now.
Father - may you be glorified...

yes .......... this is tough but what the enemy would like to use has been thwarted by the body of Christ reaching out to one another for comfort, support and prayer - the body is ministering unto the body and through this, God is being glorified.
Luca is in God's hands but these hands are the best hands to hold him.
I give thanks for God's keeping power.
I give thanks for the river of forgiveness set in motion by Jimmy and Katy.
