day 14 :: when we kneel

one of my good friends from college has a niece who is in need of prayer. chaia joy is only a few months old and has been diagnosed with a rare condition having to do with her heart, with only 180 cases documented worldwide. in other words, it's nothing short of a miracle that she is here.

i can only imagine what her parents are going through, the fear they must feel.

and yet they are casting it aside, living out their faith in a God who is capable of more than we can ask or imagine. they are holding fast to His truth and His promises. they believe in His healing.

chaia means life. that, in itself, is another miracle. God led her parents to give her the name of life! how amazing is that?!

they are praying this verse over her during this unbelievably challenging time:

:: I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh [ezekiel 36:26]

will you join in me in praying for this precious girl?

her parents are blogging throughout this journey at http://mustardrevolution.blogspot.com/. you can read more about chaia's life, encourage her parents through scripture and song, and be encouraged watching their testimony of God's love and goodness at what might seem to some as a dark and hopeless time. they are holding on to faith and hope. and i am believing God for a miracle. they have said it best...
