Cleared to go

It's a matter of coordinating the date and making sure Ava feels well enough to travel, but the docs are good with her heading north. She is very tired today. She had the doc appt and an MRI to show the NJ doc exactly where we stand. Keep praying. It was a positive step today. I'll chat more later.

  1. Josh-Praise God! I just lifted my hand to heaven & said "Thank you, Jesus, I praise you!" That is such wonderful news. I've been praying constantly & was on my knees with tears in my eyes begging & crying out to the Lord. Now my prayer is, " Heavenly Father, give Ava YOUR strength & flood her with YOUR healing presence, so that your precious one can make this trip & take her to the doctor that will intercede for YOUR perfect healing to take place. Thank you Lord, because we know this is being done!" Praying for you,Lisa, & Noah as well for strength, peace, wisdom & discernment for His will every step of the way. God bless you all.

IT HAS BROUGHT ME PEACE BEYOND BELIEF. THE FIGHT GOES ON!!!!! WE STAND BEHIND YOU IN PRAYER. WE LOVE THE HUNTER FAMILY. LOVE IN CHRIST.

  20. I thought that this may help encourage you.


    And Jesus said; "With men this is impossible,
    but with God all things are possible."
    ( Matthew 19:26 *NKJV )

    When you are facing something that seems impossible to you, have faith, for nothing is impossible with God on your side! After all is it not written; For with God nothing
    will be impossible." ( Luke 1:37 )

    For, He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

  24. Hallelujah! God is so, so good at this.....even when we aren't!!!! I have been praying for Ava, praying for you and Lisa, praying for Noah. I think some prayers are in order to guide the hands, eyes, thoughts, spirit, and vision of your chosen providers in N.J. My prayers are that the Lord will provide your next steps through the medical provider He has placed in your path. There was, is, and will be a reason for that. Continued strength & prayers for all of you.

  26. Josh we are praying for miracles. My heart aches for you and you having been through a brian tumor with Evie this heart can identify with your fear and desire for Ava to be healed hear on earth. You, Lisa, Noah and Ava are never far from our thoughts and prayers for full healing. I am praying for Lisa esp. on the journey too. So glad she has a friend going with her to support her.

  27. It's sounding positive-Lord get Ava up there and see what the next journey brings- YOU ARE IN ALL OF THIS- I hope you can feel 'It is well with my soul'...:)

  28. Praying without ceasing. Can we do anything to help - donate travel miles, hotel points etc?

  29. I have been sitting here for a long time, not knowing what to say, which is funny because I know how it feels to be in your shoes. But I don't know how to be in these shoes... trying to think of something to say to someone who is going through the fight of their life.

    We lost our Ellie when she was 9 (to a different kind of cancer. She would be Noah's age now, so I love your stories of Noah and what he is doing.) The one thing that I can tell you for sure is that having hope is always good. Clinging to that hope of healing did not make our loss any harder, the type of hope simply changed. To me, hope is one of the most beautiful words in the English language.

    So just know that our family is standing with yours in hope. I do believe with all of my heart that God can heal Ava fully, and I pray that it will be so. I am just so sorry that the journey has to hurt so badly...

  30. THinking of you all and praying for you. I hope you feel God's presence now as much as ever before. It's been tough for us searching for Ava's news now that it's not avbl on the Northland site any more. I hope it wasn't on account of anyone squawking about it being some kind of "selfish" need on Pastor Joel's part. The Lord help the person who would have thought anything like that.
