Your daughter's beautiful face has been in my mind all day. Your story has touched me in ways I do not have words for. But most of all, it's your family's faith in God that brings me to my knees in prayer. I don't even know what emotions I would have, BUT JESS and JOEL, You are role models to Christians all over the world. You are still praising God. You guys are amazing and Cora is so blessed to have YOU two as parents. I am a prayer warrior and will be until the miracle you pray for happens. God bless you and your precious child.

I've been blogging for about two years now and I have seen God use this human thing we call blogging to do some pretty supernatural things. Scripture is clear that when two or more gather in HIS name HE is there in the midst of them. Well, what happens when hundred if not thousands of people start crying out Cora's name to our Heavenly Father who delights in her? I can't wait to see! I know that this is the darkest hour you have ever lived but may the prayers of God's people sustain you! I'm praying for all three of you and expecting God to do great things for Cora! Keep the updates coming! I'm falling in love with that sweet girl of yours!

I came to your site by way of Ginger Atkins F.B. I know your hearts are in agony for you little girl. I have recently had a taste of that myself with my little boy who is 15 months. I know your heart just yearns for your little girl to be happy and healthy again. I am praying for you and am encouraged by you seeking God for your strength daily.
