Healings!

I wasn't going to make a post as I am very busy getting ready to leave on a camping/hiking/wedding trip with the family, but I just have to let you all know the updates on Chelle and Emily.

Chelle:
Here is an amazing testimony from Chelle taken directly from her blog...
...The speaker said there is someone here that is having...and he started naming off all the symptoms of what ever it is that "was" wrong with my heart...I almost fell out of my chair! We prayed and I know that the LORD touched and healed me. There is no way that he would have known any of the things that were wrong with me and no way he could have just put those symptoms together himself...because the things that happen are totally opposite of each other. My heart will go from beating so fast that I literally can't hardly keep breathing...and I can actually watch my chest go up and down with each beat...to slowing down so much at times I feel like I'm going to stop breathing. I claimed the healing when we all prayed and I claim the healing again right now. I will continue to do that . Friday I see the doc so he can tell me...Why are you here. There isn't anything wrong with you. And I will say...PRAISE theLORD!!! then tell him how GOD healed me!

Praising God for this and praying into it. Please continue to pray for Chelle as her doctor's appointment is this Friday August 10 2012. Pray the doctor will tell her there is nothing wrong with her heart. Thanks!!

Emily:

Emily had a MIBG scan this week and the results came me CLEAR! No sign of cancer!! Praise GOD!! Below is directly from her blog...

...Ms.Hubbel,
Great news!! The MIBG is reported as completely negative (not even a single tumor spot was noted). I need to talk to the radiologist to reconfirm and I will call you back later.
Madhu
Doug received the call,
Mr Hubbel, the MIBG scan is negative, compared to last scans done at CHOP. Doug did ask when we have Emily's scan after Round 6, would they possibily see something that he didn't.  He stated because they have state of the art they may be able to pick up slight/faint disease, but it is clear on ours.

Praising God!!! This is amazing! Please continue to pray for Emily as the doctors need to find out why she has these painful spots and why her leg is very sore.

Psalm 100:1-5 NIV

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;

    come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the Lord is God. 

    It is he who made us, and we are his[a];

    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving 

    and his courts with praise;

    give thanks to him and praise his name. 

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; 

    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Majestic Mountains

I have been sort of absent from the internet for the last bit as I have had a house load of family here. Tons of great, fun times!! Tuesday I took my mother and father in law home and this is what I was feasting my eyes on during the drive back to my home. The Rock Mountains coming in from Alberta to BC. Sunshine? Yes indeed!! As I gazed my eyes on the majestic mountains I was renewed with an overwhelming awe for our awesome Creator. My son joined me on this trek and as we snapped pictures we started planning a camping/hiking trip to these glorious mountains. Hopefully soon we will head in and start exploring the hills.

Psalm 68:15-20 NIV

The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains; 

    rugged are the mountains of Bashan.

Why gaze in envy, O rugged mountains,

    at the mountain where God chooses to reign,

    where the Lord himself will dwell forever? 

The chariots of God are tens of thousands

    and thousands of thousands; 

    the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.

When you ascended on high, 

    you led captives in your train;

    you received gifts from men, 

even from the rebellious —

    that you, O Lord God, might dwell there.

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, 

    who daily bears our burdens. Selah

Our God is a God who saves; 

    from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.

Swish Chard

There is just nothing like fresh veggies from the garden. My in laws arrived for a visit and we had a wonderful dinner with fresh swish chard. I scored some serious points by serving this delicious dish steamed with fresh garlic from the garden. 

So my sunshine for this week is fresh swish chard and happy in laws!! :)

Isaiah 55:12-13 NIV

You will go out in joy 

    and be led forth in peace; 

the mountains and hills

    will burst into song before you,

and all the trees of the field

    will clap their hands. 

 Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree,

    and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.

This will be for the Lord’s renown, 

    for an everlasting sign,

    which will not be destroyed.”

Blessings,

Bringing In The Hay

My sunshine for the week. 

The smell of fresh cut hay is so amazing! It is the smell of summer, hot days and tough hikes in the mountains. Bringing in the hay is not really tough work but it is long, hot and you really need good weather for just over a week so you can have all the hay in the hay shed without rain. We have had a perfect wet, rainy spring and now, in about 1 week, the weather went from around 10 C to 35 C!! So, with the super hot weather around the hay was knocked down, dried and baled.

This year haying is super special to me because I was able to help! For the past 6 years I haven't been able to join in because of the RA but God is healing me and I was able to drive that tractor, lift bales and well just do the hard manual labour. Here, I am teaching my daughter how to bale the hay, she's driving and I'm snapping pics. ;P

My son and hubby are on the other tractor picking up the bales and stacking them in the hay shed. It is so nice to have kids old enough to really help out on the farm. They are strong now so they can really do some hard physical labour like pound in fence posts, string up barbed wire and now they are able to work the machines. When my son was little everything he touched he took apart. My mom reassured me that when he was old enough he would be putting everything back together and get things working. Well now is that time. :) He is so handy with the farm equipment and I am just amazed at how much he can do.

Today is Thursday and I'm linking up with Summer for the Sunshine Project. Why don't you join us and share some sunshine from your week? 

Psalm 104:10-14 NIV

He makes springs pour water into the ravines;

    it flows between the mountains.

They give water to all the beasts of the field;

    the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

The birds of the air nest by the waters;

    they sing among the branches. 

He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; 

    the earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work. 

He makes grass grow for the cattle,

    and plants for man to cultivate—

    bringing forth food from the earth:

God Bless,

Today's Sunshine

The sunshine for this week is cows in amongst summer flowers. I just love this! On my run today, there were cows in this field of daisy's. Every year my neighbour turns out his cows to graze and every year my breath is taken away by the sight. 

Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Please keep Lucy in your prayers. Thank you!!

Sunshine Project

Ecclesiastes 11:7 NIV

Light is sweet,

    and it pleases the eyes to see the sun. 

Today I am linking up with Summer for the Sunshine Project and the object is to post something that makes you smile. Well, my garden makes me smile. You see last year I was just too sore and stiff to plant a garden and this year well I dug, planted lifted and placed lots of the rocks you see here. :) I am in remission from RA and so very pleased!! My kids and husband helped a lot in the garden as well so this just totally makes my heart sing. 

Spinach 

 The only part of the garden that is taking off is the spinach and the sunflowers. 

Slow growing :s

The weeds have taken over the rock wall and the tomatoes froze but that's okay as things are growing, slowly but surly. We have had a super cold spring with the most rain ever recorded and I have had the fireplace on almost every day so far.  

Berries

Here are some of the berries planted. There are raspberries, blackberries, currents, blueberries, strawberries and another two that I am not really sure what they are. :)

How about grabbing the button and joining in. Visit Summer at Summer's Story to get the button and link up.

Matthew 5:43-45 NIV
 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."

God Bless,
