HEALING!!!

So blessed to be able to type these words

God healed MALAKAI!!!

If you read the last post, you know that we were on our way out of here!  We had listed our house, our car...we were deep cleaning, we were being pre-approved for a mortgage in Maui.  We had a realtor there.  We had picked a neighborhood, and we were going.

We love Hawaii  

2 things have always stopped us

          ONE= family

          TWO=expense

Well when it's the only place you have found where your kid can breath, it becomes worth figuring out, and letting go of your reasons.  So that's where we were, on desperation hill. or valley. or floor...anyway you get the point

We have always had a 'plan' to sort of live below our means to enable ourselves to give, to adopt, etc.  Well that went out the window with living on Maui.  So did the adopt part.  And here we sit with a completed dossier and home study.......

HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED

Friday night Josh and I were out to dinner without the kids when my friend Tiffany texted and asked for prayer because they are in the adoption process and got news of a situation and were feeling unsure about it.  So I called her back, we talked and prayed.  She texted me later saying if they didn't go forward, would we be interested???  For us it was a yes, we are definitely interested.  Meanwhile, Josh and I picked up the kiddos and got them home and to bed.  Josh asked me to go tuck Hudson in.  So I went up and we read a book and prayed etc.  So about 20 minutes later I came down the stairs.  I found Josh sitting in the chair in very deep thought.  Well, I went into the kitchen to finish up some dishes I brought downstairs and Josh walked in the kitchen and said, "I'm going to fast and pray tomorrow and ask for Malakai's healing.  I don't want you to give him his meds.  That will be our step of faith.   I was totally on board because I had been hoping for this type of thing from Josh.  But for a moment I was like EEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!!!!!  For Kai to be off his meds could mean a trip to the ER or some pretty scary stuff at home.  I mean we were only a couple weeks 'out of the woods' from his last pretty major episode.  As we talked Josh said hearing of the little girl that needed adopted just made him want Kai's healing desperately.  He just wants to be able to do adoption and giving, not spend all of what we have on us.

Now rewind just a bit.  I have to intertwine some people into this story.  Josh's parents had started fervently fasting and praying and asking God for Kai's healing and asking what stood in the way. Jana felt like Josh needed to be a part of the healing process, and one night Keith had a vision as he was going to sleep.  The best way he could describe the vision was that there were things that needed to be pulled off of or out of Kai.  

Now back to Friday night.  Josh was having trouble sleeping.  So while awake he decided to start praying fervently for Kai's healing.  He envisioned what his dad described and prayed through it.  

The next morning I knew Josh didn't get much rest so I made sure I was up when the kids got up.  Well when I walked in Malakai's room I was IN TOTAL SHOCK.  He looked EXACTLY like he did when he was in Hawaii.  In Hawaii it took him about 1.5 weeks to look like that.  I put an itchy, runny nose, wheezy kid to bed.  I found a bright eyed, dry nosed, clear skinned, healed child in the morning.  Those of you who know Malakai know you have never ever ever ever seen him without a snotty nose.  The difference is astounding.  

It blew me away!!!  

One more part to the story.

My mom.  She had been really asking God for healing for our family.  It has been so difficult. One night as she was praying she sensed in her spirit that God was telling her, it's done.  And she kinda questioned it, like what, or which one?  really?  Then a short time later she was again praying and God said to her, watch.  Then a short time later all of the above transpired!!!  

Now at the end of the day, or shall I say on Saturday we contacted the agency the little girl is involved with and let them know we are interested.  The agency said it was a very urgent situation so it would need to take place within a week or two.

But because of the house going up for sale, I made Kai's room into a little girl bedroom (because of our last adoption, that's the only decor I had!), and my house will be thoroughly gone through, organized and clean.  So my nesting will be complete.

AND that homestudy will be put to use!

We will see what God has.

AND last but not LEAST!!!  I want to thank all of you who have prayed and believed with us for Kai's healing.  We thank you so much for standing with us in such a time as this.  May God receive the glory and praise
