I sometimes am so blessed in my “Blogville” journeys that I feel that I have to share when I find a blog that truly touches my heart! Joel’s Journey is one of those blogs!
I have been following the progress of a little boy named Luke, who had a near-drowning experience, for a long time after finding him through Izzy’s Blog, while keeping up with the progress in her recovery after her own near-drowning experience! Izzy's mommy, Annie, is my husband's sister, which is how we came to know Izzy!
It’s a big circle, I guess, and even though the circumstances in which these blogs are started is heart-breaking, the faith and dedication to our Lord shown by these families going through their journeys is amazing! I find a lot of inspiration through reading of their faith and belief in the promises of God!
Joel was a little boy, who at the age of 3, began having problems and was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer. Joel was born into a loving family, who lived every day with a love for God and a desire to glorify Him in every way! Joel’s family never gave up, knowing that God could heal Joel, if that was His will. The doctors decided that Joel could no longer be helped by them and insisted that the family stop treatment, but they refused! Their belief was that Joel was alive as long as his little heart was beating and stood up to those who wanted to end treatment. The family has made a film, titled Joel's Journey, which won the Biblical Family Category at a film festival in San Antonio, TX. Their story brought me to tears and yet blessed me, too. I think you would be blessed as well if you take the time to visit and meet the Morris Family.
Ann,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet comment on Luke's blog. I'm so grateful for your prayers as they really do make a difference. Your comment about my girls meant so much to me. This week I've been feeling like a neglectful mother. Sometimes I have to spend so much time on Luke's care I feel that I neglect my other children and it really breaks my heart.
I will be praying that your work will be less stressful. You are blessed to have such wonderful co-workers, it sounds like a great office to work in.
Love in Christ,
Sue
