5-13

Yesterday, today, & tomorrow 

Yesterday was a pretty good day as they wheeled the vent machine out of the room to a nod of good riddance by our patient. Walker a bit begrudgingly, walked twice around the floor. Keeping his stats in good shape all the while. 

We heard a moving sermon by Dr. Swanson at FPCO (go to fpco.org to hear it) that centered on God’s miracle making nature and referenced Walker’s illness and his family’s situation prominently. Our FPCO Church family has been instrumental in supporting Walker and his family through this extreme need. We thank you!

Today, we had a little spiritual blowback, which satan often uses after a banner day for God and his people, in a feeble attempt to frustrate and distract us from our true victory. I get a call about 11am from Candy that Walker is not cooperating with anything or anyone essentially telling everyone no, no, no I won't do it. She is worried that the staff will not want to work with him if he keeps it up. 

As a well seasoned believer :-), I know the drill and immediately put out a text at 11:15 to his core family prayer warriors to pray against his spirit of discontent and for him to be blanketed by Christ’s peace, love, and cooperation. All I know, ALL I KNOW, is that God hears your prayers and intervenes. 

Dad shows up at 1pm expecting a difficult situation and walks in to find Walker sitting in a chair talking that he walked and worked his arms and legs! He seems at peace. It's all I know. You do the math.

Tomorrow, his fight to regain himself continues. Our current prayer request is for Walkers mind and spirit. As the head nurse told me today, ”if he put his mind to it he could be off this floor soon, if he continually fights it and is uncooperative it will just take longer.” Please pray specifically for the spirit of peace, of supernatural strength, and of joyful cooperation to blanket Walker in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen and Amen. Thank you.

This is a marathon, so thank you for hanging in there with us as much as you can as your prayers and support are very important!
