Hi All,

It has been a difficult time, also an amazing time. We have had movement into Dylan's situation. The Pastor annointed Dylan with oil, however I sensed an uncertainity so I went and prayed about it and also the other people I have been burdened about at least 5. I kept praying and then an awareness came that all our prayers are answered, every one.

I also see Dylan's situation is a process of which another Christian told us we will go through a process and it won't be instant. Yesterday we were released from the medical people that have made our life difficult at times and overburdened us with heaps of appointments, tests etc...and they said they will be here for us if we need them, however they are now stepping out of Dylan's stituation. If I didn't have the Lord on our side this would have freaked me out. They also blamed me for getting him tested and seen by doctors so much, when it was them that ordered that he see this person and that...also pressured us about Homeschooling, our diet and also gave us flack about our Christian beliefs and have tried to turn me away from the path that the Lord has wanted us to travel. I am smiling because we are now set free from them we won't have to travel 12 hours to get medical help nor will we feel bullied, intimidated etc....

The Lord delivered Psalm 118 to Dylan this morning and this verse really stuck out to me that I read it to Dylan again "When I was in great pain, I cried out to the Lord. He answered me and set me free" (v5). I also see now that Psalm 116 is important for him as well. The trouble is Dylan will not call out to the Lord, he calls out to me and I can not take this pain away, only the Lord, can...doctors can do nothing only the Lord will release it. So I pray now that Dylan will call out to the Lord in his moments of distress in Jesus' name, amen.

Dylan has also learnt to bear this burden, has at times been courageous not screaming all day, only parts now...we now have resprite from the screams, I would like Dylan to have resprite from the pain.

Yesterday when I was talking to someone from the University, this person also told me she grew up in the area that we now live. The doctors told her there was nothing wrong, or nothing they can do for five years she was led to believe there was something mentally wrong with her and her mother, that it was all in their heads. After five years she came upon a doctor who could tell there family what was finally wrong and finally received treatment. The stress that this family went through was huge. What I have discovered by all this how there is an abscence of compassion, mercy and grace in our medical profession and also in a lot of the world's systems. I have been led to pray about this that compassion for people with special needs will flood the medical profession in Jesus' name. I have also seen have much I also fall short of compassion I ask for his forgiveness, and ask him to flood me with his compassion in Jesus' name. Amen.

Oh and the lonely Lady at the church, her life has improved and will continute to improve and I am happy for her. Also the church did a talk about using your gifts that the Lord gives us and also about being friends and helping others in need....stepping in when you see a need. I am happy they did that, because this is the burden I shared with the Pastor and he said he would do something. We feel blessed by this church because it feels like they are our family and they have embraced Dylan and I with their friendliness, kindness and their love for the Lord and their compassion for each other. I pray for all the churches that fall short of these qualities that The Lord will restore these to all his churches in an abundance and will do so immediately so it can help and be effective in a hurting world, in Jesus' name, amen. Dylan is also very lonely for a friend/s, there is no one around here that fulfills that need he has and we are being positive that the Lord will free us and deliver us soon from the wilderness, in Jesus' name, amen. The area we live in is unfriendly, isolating and the spirit of indifference, intolerance and exclusion etc is awful....Even though there are new people here, these spirits effect a lot of people and keep people distant from each other...it's horrible, and it is a shame because the area is so beautiful.


love and blessings in the Lord,

Serenity
