Believe

In the John 11 we learn the story of Lazarus and how Jesus felt of his dear friend, and the healing miracle witnessed by Mary and Martha.

John 11 starts with readers learning of Jesus' love for Lazarus, but word is sent to Jesus that he is sick. It is here that Jesus deliberately does not go to Lazaurs' aid, but stays where he is. He tells his disciples that Lazarus will sleep, but He will wake him up. No one knew that Jesus was actually speaking of death here.

By the time Jesus made it to Lazarus, he had been dead for 4 days. His sisters, Mary and Martha questioned Jesus. Why didn't he come faster? Why didn't he save his friend. It is here where we see Jesus' love and passion for his people. He wept. He cried over the death of a dear friend, just as we would.

BUT....it doesn't stop there. Jesus asks to go to Lazarus tomb and have it opened. Martha questions Jesus, as Lazarus had been dead for 4 days. Then He says it all:

"Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" John 11:40

We believe! We believe God is here, ready to do something great in Baby Owen. He, like us does not enjoy our suffering. Rather, He is here to rescue us from our suffering. Believe with us, that God is going to heal Owen. Believe in the name of Jesus that Owen's kidneys will be restored. Doctors will be amazed, and all will fall to their knees to glorify our Lord.

**GREAT NEWS UPDATE**
Doctors today have said that their goal for us to go home is about 3 weeks! We are still going up every other day on Owen's dialysis volumes, adding 5ml each time. When he reaches 120ml he will be put on the cycler (machine dialysis) and be on the home stretch! He is at 65ml right now. Please pray for wisdom for our doctors and nurses and that God's timing will prevail as we early await our homecoming.




Such a sweet sleeping angel! Dreaming of his bed at home. :)
