Whole

A few months ago a good friend of mine asked me to begin praying for a college friend and her family. Their 2 1/2 year old son, Judson, has been battling a rare, genetic, incurable disease since May called Krabbe disease. This lively and talkative littleboy became mute, blind, and compeltely paralyzed in these past 6 months.

The faith journey of Jud's parents has really pushed me to examine my own faith. As I am going through a Bible study called, "Believing God," I have really examined my heart and have prayed to God, as the father does in Mark 9. Jesus explains that everything is possible for him who believes. The father exclaims in 9:24 "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"

Jesus, I do believe; please help me overcome my unbelief.

This morning Judson saw Jesus face to face and was healed. His body is whole once again. Thank you, Lord, for growing the faith of so many, including me, through the life of this precious little boy and the testimony of his parents.
