a grain of mustard seed.......

Hubby got laid off 2 weeks ago. The housing market is extremely slow as most of us know, and so of course there aren't many new houses being built. So he got laid off. He went to sign the books down at the union, and there are about 150 guys already laid off and ahead of him. So unfortunately he will probably be out of work for a while. So if anyone needs a plumber......you know where to call! :) I am not worried though. The Lord has always taken care of us, and I know that now will not be any different.

Dada's diabetes is driving me nuts. Her sugars have been all over the place so we have been dealing with a very whiny girl. Which I think it's her whining that is driving me nuts, not really her diabetes. The whining has gotten way out of control!! She whines ALL the time. When she is high, when she is low, when she is tired, when she isn't. She just whines.

She has also started trying to use her diabetes to get out of class. She will come to me 2 and 3 times a day. That just has to stop!

In my devotions, I have been reading in Matthew. And it seems like every day I am reading about how Jesus did miracle after miracle after miracle for all kinds of people. He made the blind man see, he made the lame to walk, he healed the lady with the blood disorder. Just miracle after miracle. And so I think, if God can do this for these people then why can't he heal my little
girl. The bible says that we just need a little faith, then he will do it.

Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

I know that God can heal Dada. But I think that my unbelief lies in the fact that God will do it. I think the devil is trying to make me believe that I'm not worthy of a miracle like that. So I keep going back to what the bible says....

Matthew 9:28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. 9:30a And their eyes were opened;


......it said according to your faith be it unto you. Well I WANT that kind of faith. The other thing with this verse that struck me was all Jesus did was touch their eyes, and their eyes were opened. My God only has to touch her pancreas and she will be healed!


I am praying that the Lord will take the diabetes away from her. I know that people may think that I am nuts. I can hear the doubt and disbelief that I would pray for that. I can hear people saying that this is an incurable disease, and I shouldn't pray something that in all likelihood will never happen. I have been guilty of thinking these very things. But God has been speaking to me with these verses. And I know that........

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

So this is what I am leaning on. I am praying that sometime, either (preferably)very soon, or within her lifetime that God will take this from her.
