I still think of you, Darren, and your daughter Olivia almost every day. Your blog has truly touched my life over the two months I've been reading it, and has helped strengthen my faith in God. And I know I'm not the only person here who can say that :-) Thank you. I'll still be reading and praying for you. ~Jen I was so saddened to hear of Misty’s passing…I know she’s up in heaven having a wonderful time right now, which is great.

If I scroll down a few lines, back a few days, I also see that nearly everyone, whether they truly acknowledged it in their hearts or not, believed not only that God could heal Misty, but that He would heal Misty. We believed that and repeated it, and prayed for it, and must have therefore felt it to be God’s will, for who of us would knowingly pray contrary to His will. So if until late on the evening of September 23rd, it was God’s will to heal Misty, and we also believe that He has the power to raise her from the dead, why aren’t we praying for that? Don’t stop praying for Darren, he needs your prayers more than ever. Comfort him; he is going through a lot right now. But why stop there? Why give up? Jairus’ daughter died before Jesus arrived, and was resurrected in her room. The widow’s only son was in his coffin on his way to the cemetery. Lazarus had been was in his grave four days. I have never seen this powerful a response, the prayer and fasting for months, and a movement building steam as hundreds then thousands joined the story. I am not saying that it will happen; I can’t speak in absolutes when it comes to God’s plan for someone else’s life. But I am saying that as far as God and His power nothing has changed since 9:15PM on Tuesday. And if nothing has changed for God, than I don’t think it should change for us. I still believe.
