To GOD be ALL THE GLORY!!!!!!

We can't say THANK YOU enough for your EVERY prayer!!!!

"Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness" Psalm 115:1

Yesterday morning Keziah told me that she wanted to go back to the Dr. I asked her why, and she said "because I want Jesus to heal my ear." AMEN, baby girl! AMEN!!!! And he heard her prayers (along with SO many others!!)!

On the way to the Dr this morning, she busted out with a loud, joyful, and seemingly surprised, "I can hear, Mommy! I can hear!". The Lord spoke peace to my heart when she said that. Now, I don't think her hearing was damaged with all of this (we stil don't know), but my guess is that it has been effected with the swelling, the mass, and the wick! But when she said that, I felt the Lord was giving me a glimpse of what He was about to reveal to us!

The Dr gave us INCREDIBLE news!!!!

He looked in her ear, and very amazed-like said "Shawnda, I can see her eardrum!!!". THAT is HUGE! The mass covered 100% of her ear. The mass is still there, but it is covering 20% of of ear, and HE CAN SEE HER EARDRUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do the math!!! The mass shrunk by 80%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dr looked at Keziah, and He said "God answers prayer!" AMEN! And then he looked at me, and he said "tumors don't shrink with drops!!!" Translation - we probably are NOT looking at a tumor, but a REALLY BAD infection.

He actually let me look in her ear, and I got to see her eardrum! I also got to see this mass.....it's really ugly, BUT it's BETTER!!!!!!!!!!

I asked him if he knew what the infection is from - he couldn't answer that at this point. I asked him if he thought it could still be cancer, and he said it'd be "remote"!!!!!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!! He obviously can't say "no" - He knows that's not his call - it's the LORD's. But of what He knows, it doesn't look that way (with it shrinking with the drops!!).

SO............NO SURGERY TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are continuing on the drops for another week. We are leaving for BC on Wed. And we'll see the Dr when we get back.....to, Lord willing, find NOTHING!!!

I wish I could express in writing the experience I had today with the beauiful women who prayed for Keziah on Friday. They were as happy as Jason and I! They were shouting praises to the Lord throughout the Dr's office!!! It was beautiful! There was NO SHAME in their hearts - their hearts were filled with praises to our God! Zandra actually told me that yesterday in church she was praying and praying for Keziah, and the Lord "said" to her, "Zandra, it's already done". And she said, "alright, Lord, then I'll praise you and thank you!!!" : ) AMEN! And this morning she had some things she had to do with her son, so she wasn't going to go to work, but the Lord told her to go because He had a gift for her! A gift of answered prayer!

I'm telling you - this sister does not know us, but she loved us BEAUTIFULLY! She danced, kissed, hugged us, rejoiced, prayed over us again - it was worship!

Keziah and I both left humbled at this precious gift of healing the Lord has given us and unable to give enough thanks to our Lord!!!!

When I called Jason to tell him, I told him that Keziah said "Jesus healed my ear, Mommy!!!". His heart melted at God's kindness because he felt the Lord moving him to pray all morning that Keziah would know Jesus healed her ear like Jesus healed the paralytic and the man with the withered hand!!! She's learning the power of our Lord at a very young age!

Praise Him!!!!!

"Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever." Psalm 111:1-3
