Answered prayers for Josi!
I talked to Mary Ellen today. She had some hope for Josi in the news. She said that when she went to see Josi in the hospital at Craig in Denver, she turned her head to the left (or right, I don't remember which for sure) by herself. She never turned her head, let alone ever had it turned in that direction! And when Mary Ellen took the covers off her to see how she was doing for comfort and all, she felt her feet and they were warm! She said they hadn't been warm since the accident. The nurses or the doctors didn't understand why these things were happening. I do! God is answering prayers! Her 2 brain surgeries went well. She has been through so much, but needs so much more. Her joints were so stiff and growing wrong now. They were looking like they would poke through her skin! That will take a LOT of work to undo and a lot painful therapy to get better. So now we need to pray for her continued recovery. She will be there for a few months now. She has a wonderful room. Mary Ellen said that first they had her in the old part of the building in a ward and it was really awful, but now she's in the new part in a private room. There's even another room right off hers with a couch and chairs, fridge and microwave and Tv for Deb (her mom) and Bob (step dad) or Joe or siblings to stay in while she is there. That way someone can be with her all the time. God is good! He answers prayer above and beyond what we can even imagine!

Yesterday at the end of my Bible time with Phylis and Tamara, we were praying and I started to pray for Josi. I really began to feel she is going to be okay (although I have no idea to what extent of "okay")and has had an encounter with Jesus in that dark place she is in. The prayer turned into she will come out of that dark place singing God's praises. I truly do feel that Jesus is with her, don't you?
Oh, Yes! Thank you Sharon, Phylis and Tamara for praying for Josi. I, too, feel Jesus is with her. And your prayer turning into she will come out of that dark place singing God's praises is so awesome! Thank you! And thank you, Jesus, for answering prayer. I, too, feel she will be okay - and God is the one to say what "okay" is.
While at a meeting at the Ursuline Center, I couldn't help but notice a beautiful painting that one of the founding nuns painted of Jesus sitting on a bed of a sick girl holding her hand, and she looks just like Josi! Today I went to another meeting and brought my camera to take a picture of the picture. As soon as I am able, I will get the picture onto the blog. At the time I was admiring the inspiring painting someone commented "Don't give up 5 minutes before the miracle." I believe this was meant for all of us to see and hear. Miracles still do happen and I believe Jesus is sitting on her sick bed holding her hand. Thank you Jesus!
Thank you for sharing that Linda. It is a confirmation that Josi has encountered Jesus! Praise God!
I LOVE "Don't give up five minutes before the miracle." Wish I would have coined the phrase so I could use it. So many times, we give up before seeing what maybe could have happened.
Can't wait for the picture to be posted here. Thank you for sharing that Linda.
COOL
GO INTO JOSI'S WEBSIGHT AND READ WHAT HER MOM WROTE FOR THE UPDATE. I DO BELIEVE PRAYERS ARE BEING ANSWERED!
