Amazing Grace, Amazing Faith

February 27 update:
You know we've been in the hospital since Sunday 2/15/2009 and I cannot wait for the doctor to say your son is released...you can take him home now. Pray for us because we are going to long to hear those words over the course of this year. Our journey away from home to cure Joshua's cancer has just started according to the doctors. I know that we serve an awesome God, He can choose to heal our Joshua if he desires.
Joshua has developed a personality that is unlike his old self. He is smart and has already devloped white coat syndrome. He will fight the nurses and us when trying to do the simplest of tasks because they have poked and prodded him so much in these last two weeks. Home is on his mind continuously. He asks to go home several times a day. The only comfort he has is in the arms of a lovedone fast asleep and when he wakes up we share the same nightmare...we are in the hospital treating him for liver cancer. I would love to be home and at rest but I know my place is with my child no matter how tired I truely am. I am not one to run away from my problems, I face them head on and go toe to toe. This cancer don't know who this baby's momma is...it's in trouble! No, better yet...it doesn't know that this baby's momma serves a LIVING GOD who still heals...Jehovah Rapha! AMEN SELAH!

Prayer for Sawyer- UPDATE

Please be in prayer for baby Sawyer. He has been vomiting and running high fever of 104 since Sunday. He was admitted today. Please pray for peace for mom and wisdom for the doctors. You all may remember he was very sick at 11 weeks, and has never fully recovered. (good weeks and bad weeks off an on since) Pray that all of his health is restored soon and that mom can finally get the right answers that will bring a resolve. Pray for dad and brother as well. The whole house has been sick with a virus, but baby Sawyer got the worse case of it. Please check back for an update. FEBRUARY 27- SAWYER IS COMING HOME TODAY. BUT STILL NEEDS OUR PRAYERS. STILL NOT EATING WELL AND HIS BODY IS STILL FIGHTING THE VIRUS. MOM NEEDS SLEEP!
And of course, we are still praying for Joshua. His chemo started yesterday and he had a really rough day. His mom is holding to hope and faith. Joshua has stage 3 liver cancer and we need the healing power of our Heavenly Father for both of these boys.

TEXT from Nadene, Joshi's mom:

God is good all the time. He has led us to the steep decent into Sheol...cause you know He's there and He can understand our every concern or test b/c He's 3 N 1 Heavenly Father, Son of man, and Holy Spirit all of God's persons have been put to the test in all things and JC got the top of his class Valedictorian or High Priest. It is so beautiful how he goes behind the veil of the Temple that was not formed by man's hands to the Mercy Seat where He offered the perfect sacrificial Lamb so he may be our advocate before the Father. We know God is walking us through this cancer battle with Joshua. God said He'll never leave us or forsake us and to not to understand why b/c He's the one that has the full picture we may only have a pixel when he looking at all the pics in our life's album. God is love.

Ugly Enemy

Well, it is Liver Cancer. Little Joshi has a huge, hard road ahead of him. But our God is no smaller and no less kinder. We pray for the power of his presence, the work of his Grace and the peace in His plan. Pray with Nadene, she is so upset. This was the one Cancer they just did not want to hear come out of the doctors mouth. He gets to go home Friday, then it will become a matter of weekly visits and chemotherapy. A round of chemotherapy ususally set aside for ADULTS. So this will be rough on his little body. Just bathe him in prayer with us. And pray for his parent's hearts not to break as they watch his unfold. Pray for moments of joy in what they are about to do, that will testify to the goodness of our God. Remember, you can follow his at http://www.carepages.com/ and just make an account. He would be found under 'visit" and joshualeefreeman51706 in the search line.

Message from Joshua's mom:

I thank you, Tammy, for spreading the word about our precious Joshua. He is so very important to us but just as important to God. He says that he cares for the little sparrows...I know that he will care for my little Joshi. He will bring us through this...it is hard to lean on Him instead of our own understanding of the situation...but I am praising God ahead of time for healing Joshua and believing that He can do it if we ask and if it is according to his will. I know that Paul asked 3 times for God to remove his ailment but God answered finally with my grace is sufficient...my strength is made perfect in your weakness. I pray that God will touch our Joshi's little body and heal the cancer....cure it...I claim healing in Jesus sweet and holdy name...Amen!Praying for the balm of Gilead,Nadene
