Once I read her profile my mouth dropped....it was as if I was looking at my own reflection....her testimony is nearly everything I was, though naturally I'm sure there are some variables along the path we lived. Wow, I have been sensing God wanting me to share my testimony for so long, but never have; always too afraid of judgement. But now look at who I found because you put a link to her site. And was she afraid to bare it all? No. Not online where thousands could read if they wanted. Thank you Peter for linking her. Wow. I know now that I really do need to share my testimony online to draw others to know the power of Gods healing and love, restoration, and transformation. WOW. I'm so blessed right now by your site. It's so amazing. Wow, and we both have a Hannah in our lives. God makes great minds think alike. :D<BR/>Thank you so much for revealing this person to others, to me. Truly amazing testimony and so similar to mine....Praise the King for New Life!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521680021323003843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015299104362685233.post-58940778544510113132009-03-01T13:51:00.000+11:002009-03-01T13:51:00.000+11:00This is wonderful!

The fact that they are adults makes it no easier, and in some ways harder. You really can't do much for them. They are on their own to figure it out. It does help me realize how my heavenly Father must feel when He sees me suffer, and You are so right about His nature. He can definitely be trusted with those who are most precious to us.Sharlyn Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879828989850465268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015299104362685233.post-28742176684376676392009-02-28T18:00:00.000+11:002009-02-28T18:00:00.000+11:00Wow, I'm really happy I met you through facebook o...Wow, I'm really happy I met you through facebook otherwise I would not have known about your amazing site. And with your following me it's easy to just click on your image and go straight to you. Thanks for following my site by the way. I hope all us that strive to serve Christ can meet new bloggers and learn of the type of stength you are sharing in this post. <BR/><BR/>TO watch your child suffer, it's the hardest. I can relate as my daughter struggled her very first breaths of life too. She was born a preemie and the doctors said she'd probably weigh 2 maybe 3 pounds, but she came out weight 1 lb. 9 oz. 11 " long (She's 5 now). She's photo'd on my facebook photos of our 'Miracle Baby'. She was in NICU for 3 looong, agonizing months and I sobbed out in pain to God 'Why?! And then I had to watch as every other mom was wheelchaired home with their healthy baby in their arms while I left empty handed then cried in my SUV.<BR/><BR/>I never had my faith shaken during this time, but I was mad, angry, and a deeply rooted depression took over, (which by the way I read your next post on that-thanks for posting it).<BR/><BR/>Your honesty and heartfelt sorrow over your sons sickness is very refreshing to read, because we all need to expose our vulnerbilities at times, not just for prayer but also when others read your blog they are ministered to through your faith.<BR/><BR/>You blog post and the depression one following it has blessed me! Thank you so much for your honesty and sharing your heart. I'm so blessed to have met you! And I know it wasn't by accident, but a 'Godincident'<BR/><BR/>Blessings through Christ, <BR/>Sarah CeciliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521680021323003843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015299104362685233.post-84679517108873970222009-02-27T08:57:00.000+11:002009-02-27T08:57:00.000+11:00A powerful and authoritative post...awesome, Peter...A powerful and authoritative post...awesome, Peter.

Great lesson to learn while they are still young. From what I understand it only gets tougher as the get older.Meadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196896240991749522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015299104362685233.post-41734635938181100612009-02-26T04:50:00.000+11:002009-02-26T04:50:00.000+11:00excellently written!

I could not help but think of Father God and how He felt allowing Jesus (man-God) to suffer. It is at these times that we either turn to God with everything we have surrendered or we turn away in bitterness, anger and resentment. I am so happy that they Lord was able to use your son's health to bring you deeper into His arms, releasing your burden and living in His rest.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing this testimony.healingsoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01199588032041866826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015299104362685233.post-53354239833966384832009-02-26T00:40:00.000+11:002009-02-26T00:40:00.000+11:00PhenOMenal!
