Today is a story of sickness, pain, love, grace and healing. I posted this picture in yesterday's post.
Many of you may not recognized the young lady with Kelly Jo. Her name is Kari Noe. Long time readers have prayed a whole lot for her and her precious family the last four years.
I first requested prayer on the blog for beautiful little Kari Noe and her family in July of 2011 right after she was diagnosed with Leukemia. That diagnosis turned her little world and the world of her family Bro. Matthew, Sis. Ashlee and little brother Malachi up side down to say the least. It was devastating to hear that a child so full of life was staring death in the face.

The next two plus years seemed like an almost endless cycle of doctors, hospitals, clinics, treatments, hair loss, fevers, hopefulness, strength, expectation, optimism then relapse and repeat it all again. It was a nightmare for the whole family and they could not shake themselves awake.
In the middle of all this Kari prayed a special prayer one night in their bedtime devotions. This was about 7-8 months into the fight.
Lord we thank you for this day and all you've done for us. But tomorrow is a new day that I have never been in before Lord and I ask that u would help me and help me to keep fighting this old cancer dragon. Help ... all of our other cancer friends. And help all of our regular friends and family Lord. Lord we ask you to help our blessings and our requests in Jesus name, Amen.
Wow! What a prayer. I believe God heard that one.
This dear family fought for their lives physically, emotionally and spiritually over the next few years. Their extended family, church folks and friends all over the country banded together with them in prayer for help and healing. It was a long hard fight but God heard and answered prayer. Today Kari is well and going 100 miles per hour. Praise God!

Kari and her brother Malachi are great friends of ours along with their parents Bro. Matthew and Sis. Ashlee. We are thrilled to get to be with them this week in Elkton. They moved to Virginia last year and Bible Holiness is their home church. We are so thankful for each of them and what God has done in their lives.
Here are a bunch of pictures that we have of Kari, Malachi and their parents from 2011-2014 and then a few from this week. These few pictures really tell a story of sickness, healing and grace. Praise God with us for bringing the whole Noe family through this terrible ordeal. He is a great and mighty God!
Thanks for reading.
