Moved by the Spirit.

Today when I was running my children around due to various physical problems my dear friend reminded me that I am in a spiritual battle for their lives. Three of my kids are going through physical challenges as of late. I must pray because I know that God has a call on all of their lives and that there is a real devil, seeking whom he may devour. "Lord cover them, put a hedge about them of your presence, of your healing physically and emotionally and spiritually. Stir in their hearts oh God."

So, tonight I put Mag and Zaachi to bed and began to pray. I realize that I was just going through the motions and "checked myself" and adjusted and began to focus and really pray. I prayed out loud for some time in the hallway, I could hear Mag snore and than I heard Z coming toward me. He held me around my waist and we agreed in prayer together. He would say, "Yes Lord." Then, when I concluded he asked me what language I was speaking and I had the joy of sharing with him about the GIFT of the Holy Spirit. My heart was warmed when he said, "Is that where they have cloves of fire on their heads?" I was shocked, but he said he read it in his Picture Bible and reminded me that he had read the whole thing. This was a sweet moment. We both sat down on the steps and chatted about how God was so good. He said, "I think the Holy Spirit has almost all of my body, like three fourths or something." He was talking with such excitement and joy.
God has and will continue to heal his little heart. I remember a time when he couldn't go a day without emotionally crumbling at least 2 or 3 times. His little heart was so broken he wanted to die. He LIVES today, He LAUGHS, He PLAYS, He LOVES and is MOVING FORWARD.

In his counseling session today he wrote a letter that he shared with Marc and I. His letter was to the judge, he said that he wants Marc and I to adopt him. Our hearts were joyed that he clearly wants us and is allowing himself to be happy and attach to us. That can often take years and it has been nearly 2 years since they found his cancer and allowed us to take him. God has used him to change our lives. EACH of our children have changed our lives in sooo many different ways. I am excited to see what they grow up to be and do. Thank you Lord for the joy of Motherhood.
