Thursday Oct. 23rd 2008 Dad stating he had faith that Mark would be okay

Went over to see mom and dad this morning and dad was talking to Magee Morrow on the phone. I overheard him tell Magee that he had faith that Mark was going to be okay. Then I heard Dad talking about how Dewey Wharton was doing from his fall years ago. Then I heard Dad tell Magee that he believed that Mark was going to be just fine. This was very important to me to witness my dad say this because it showed me the faith that Dad had put in God in stating that he believed he would be healed. God has given my dad the gift of faith.

My Mom and Dad also stated that they wanted to go see Mark and to tell Ronnie that they were thankful for how good she was taking care of Mark.

I went to the doctor with my Dad and Mom this morning. Dad has to go often for his skin . When we got out of the office my youngest brother Sunnie called me and told me about what Mark was doing.  They had started therapy on Mark, boy Sunnie had alot of good things to say. Mark spoke through the voice box in his throat. He said "Where is dad and then where is Mushie [ Charles Marks younger brother ] ." The nurse also ask him if he could name his daughters, he named Melynda who is named after me he then said she was 22 years old then he said Elaine was 19 years old then he said Nellie was 15 years old [Nellie is 18]. Ronnie said that was not a surprise because Mark has always gotten Nellie age wrong .

He also washed under his arms, stomach and feet with a reaching tool by himself. Mark swallowed about 8 spoons of ice chips today and he put his tee shirt on with some help. Mark also lifted his bottom up using his hands to hold himself up so the nurse could pull up Mark's pajamas. This is the first time Mark has been dressed in four weeks [Mark looks so handsome today]. He has been trying to get out of bed several times today he's not as strong as he think's he is but he will be in time.  Mark also was in a wheelchair for a short time the nurse are amazed at how fast Mark is recovering. After Sunnie told me all that he was doing I started to Jump up and down with excitement.

I was praising Lord for his goodness what a wonderful day.  God you are so good and thank you for you Mercy's. 

 Dad, Mom and I where going to head up to the Hospital but Sunnie said that Mark was resting so we decided to go home.  I know I drove my dad crazy because I would not stop talking when I get excited I tend to do this allot. I went up to the hospital latter on to see Mark with my son Mark we had a really good visit with him. Everyday he looks better. Uncle Nicky sang to Mark again he loves it. This puts a smile on his face every time. Kitty Ann and Kitty Cats [Hellen Riddle] called and left massages for Mark he loved them. I got a call from Annie Townsly today she told me how she and everyone she knew was praying for Mark and our whole family[Ronnie and their girls, Dad , Mom, my brothers and sister] this means a great deal to all of us we know that every pray is heard and this is strengthening all of us. When anyone tells us that they are praying for Mark or us, we know the power that is in pray.  But the love that is shown though pray touches our hearts.  We all want to thank everyone for all of the prayer's and please keep them up.

The lord has laid this on my heart today , any time I use a word that a non believer or believer may not know it's meaning. I will try to explain it's meaning as best I can, so I guess I will start now. Non believer means a person that is someone that does not believe that Jesus Christ is both Lord and savior. To a believer, Believer means that Jesus Christ is both Lord and savior of ours Souls and to the world. KJV John 3 :16 For God so loved the world that he gave is only begotten Son.that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,but have ever lasting life.17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. We as believers should always show the same kind of love that Jesus did for all man kind as he did for us. 

I ran a cross this pertaining to Marks Miracle[Vine's Concise dictionary of the Bible] Notes:(2) K J V The Negative noun Apistia ,"unbelief is used twice in Matthew 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their un- belief. In reading the first scripture I believe that Jesus choose not to do miracles because the people did not believe Jesus for who he was the messiah the Savior of the world. Matthew 17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. This is pertaining to a boy that Jesus healed. In Matthew17:20 Jesus chose to do this miracle out love and to show the signification of faith. Faith is simply believing in Jesus and what he can do. In Matthew17:20 Jesus said unto them, And Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place and it shall be remove: and nothing shall be impossible.

This also  happened Right after Jesus took Peter, James and John up to a high mountain\ Mount of transfiguration (Matthew17 ,1-13) where the three disciple had just seen Jesus for who he really is the messiah the savior of the world!

Jesus did not Give up on his disciples he just showed them again who he was through his miracles. Jesus will show himself to us over and over again out of love. You are great God

If we doubt that God is capable of doing miracle's, how can we expect him to show us what he can do.
