Good morning! It is a beautiful morning! God continues to send His peace and His strength in the midst of our storm. Glory to His name! I don’t say this because it sounds like the right thing to say. I say it because it is truly how my heart feels which is why I’m so thankful. How can a family go through what we are going through and feel such peace? Only God, and for that I’m ever thankful.
Since we’ve been released from medical care we have turned to hospice care. Not because we believe this is a hospice situation but simply because we need their services. Things like a hospital bed and the ability to have someone come to the house in an emergency.
During the admission process they made it very clear that they are not in the reviving business, they are in the “make you comfortable til you sleep,” business. Yea we get all that, and in turn we made it clear that this was not that type of situation. So, based upon my responses it appeared that their services were not available to us. Regardless, I wasn’t budging. I wasn’t going to say things that I didn’t believe simply to get care.
Long story short, God worked that thing out. We are receiving their services with their clear understanding of our position. God did us one even better by having the staff that is assigned to us stand in agreement with the FACT that Brayden is healed! I mentioned our wonderful nurse in a previous post.
So Wednesday we had a visit from the doctor assigned to us. This was his first visit. As I saw him walking up the drive way, my stomach began to turn. You see, every time we talk to a doctor the news is heartbreaking. Before he walked in the door I yelled out, “Bump you devil!” LOL.
Yes I took it back to the 90’s with Bump You. Hee hee. I needed to put him in his place. Messing with me trying to get me worried about what doesn’t matter.
The only thing that matters in this situation is what God said. When we greeted him at the door he had that I’m sorry type look on his face, which is understandable. He came in and looked at Brayden, his demeanor changed and then he said, “I’ve gotta say, I’m pleasantly surprised at what I see.” At this point Brayden is still not moving or talking. He is laying there very alert, looking around very peaceful.
Van asked the doc what he expected to see, and the doc responded, “based upon the MRI reports…you’ve seen them right?” I told him I knew he expected to see a child at death’s door. He did not disagree. Again, I’ve got to shout out, “Whose report will you believe?” No MRI, CT Scan, Medical record, or whatever, can stop an almighty God. God says life, reports say death. God rules!
We are totally in God’s hand regarding Brayden’s medical care. The other morning he woke up with a high fever. This was scary. I immediately called a doctor who is family to us. He was not available. In an instant I was checked. Duh call on God. We then laid hands on Brayden and prayed.
When the prayer was finished the fever was gone! No Tylenol, no other remedy but God! Yesterday, we encountered a similar situation. Brayden began to start chomping his jaws, slamming his teeth together. My mother was there and knew that was a prerequisite for a seizure. Our hearts sank. I wanted to cry but it was no time for tears. I could hear another family member just crying.
Ya’ll this thing is painful, but we got it together. The four of us who were there (the Claibornes) laid our hands on Brayden and prayed, pleading with God to stop this. We anointed him with oil and just cried out to the Lord. God answered. No seizure and the chomping stopped. Praise Him!
This is our Job like experience. I say Job like because it really can’t compare to what Job had to suffer but it feels similar. We had a visit from a social worker. He is a believer. He talked with me about Job and the fact that even in that situation God doesn’t owe anyone an explanation. He’s God. He is creator and ruler of all. Are job is to trust Him. Period.
It has become so clear to me that this situation is so much bigger than Brayden, me, Van, or SaVanna. God is doing a mighty work. He is testing the faith of not only us but thousands. I’m telling you what I know based upon the messages I receive and how far reaching Brayden’s story has become. Only God could orchestrate that and what He orchestrates He does to fulfill His purposes.
If this was me, nobody would care, but God knows that people’s hearts would be drawn to an innocent child, so he chose Brayden. When we were trying to get pregnant and throughout the pregnancy I prayed specific prayers about Brayden.
I asked the Lord to bless me with a child who would be like Caleb, Joshua, Moses, Daniel, Samuel, and the 3 Hebrew Boys. I wanted a child who would stand for God and do a mighty work for Him. This wasn’t a fly by night type of prayer.
I was praying hard and if I had known that God would answer in such a way I would’ve adjusted my prayer. LOL. It would’ve been more like, “God just have my child make it to the kingdom.” LOL. God answers prayers. Not in the way that we imagine them being answered, but for His perfect will to be fulfilled and for that I’m thankful. I’m certain that Brayden has been chosen to do God’s work.
Finally, as I’ve stated so many times before, God has blessed us with a community of believers who I now consider family.
Our facebook community has put together a nightly prayer line to lift up this situation until the manifestation of Brayden’s healing is revealed.
Ya’ll I’ve never met these women and they have never met Brayden. That’s God. The prayer line is every day at 6 am and 7 pm eastern standard time. The number is 712-432-1500 dial in code 230513#. Join us as we intercede on Brayden’s behalf.
Be blessed. Trust God in your situation fully believing, not this lip service crap, that He is willing and able to do the impossible in your life
