My Dad and I recently went to have my follow up EEG done at the hospital. While we were there we ran into one of the nurses who helped with the EEG's while I was in the hospital. She mentioned that there was a family that came in right after we left with a very similar situation to what we had gone through. I had heard about Clay and his wife from him and had lost the contact information. So I gave this nurse my contact information and told her to have Clay call me if there was anything that we could do. He met us over at the hospital later that day. After talking with him my Dad and I felt like we were suppose to meet. Our situations mirrored each other in many ways. After recently going through many of the same experiences our hearts went out to him, his wife, and their entire family. The team of doctors and nurses are fighting for Lisha and trying to find out the answers to have her come out of her coma with health and strength. We had the opportunity to go in Lisha's room and briefly meet her before she was taken to have an MRI done. The spirit in her room was overwhelmingly peaceful. The room was filled with pictures and great love from her family and friends. It was hard not to break into tears as I saw myself laying there only a few brief weeks earlier. She looked very beautiful.
Because I am so grateful to all of you for your prayers and faith, I wanted to extend an invitation to all who would be willing to add the Cline and Bauer families to your prayers.
As we serve others our own lives are enriched with great blessings.
Message from Clay Bauers
"To all of the friends and family of Amber and JP; You all went through this just recently with Amber and now my sweetheart is going through much of what Amber did. We are newlyweds having only been married close to 30 years this April. My wife Lisha has been hospitalized now for 28 days. They have no idea what has caused her to be so ill and have seizures. We do continue to have hope and faith in God above. We are so grateful to have met Amber and her father. If you would do for us what you did for the Giles and that is pray for us and have hope and faith with us we would be eternally grateful to all of you. We would be more than honored to send you prayers your way in return that all of you will continue to be watched over and protected daily in your lives. We are continuing to stay strong and positive. Thank you, love the Bauer and Cline families."
Thank you, my sweet friend, for allowing me to pray for someone else yet again. I am honored to add these wonderful people to my prayers. I am sure that our Father in Heaven rejoices when we pray for each other. :) Keep us posted. Much love to you!!!!

Amber,
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding people to pray for others. I have such a testimony of the power of prayer. I followed your story, prayed for you and your family and was amazed at the miracles that took place in your life.
A week before you went home my sister ended up in the same hospital as you because of a brain hemorrhage. Saturday will be 6 weeks for her, but she may be home by then. I believe she is alive and doing so well because of the many prayers being offered for her.
I will gladly ad Clay and Lisha to my prayer list. I know it makes a difference. Thank you for inspiring so many to reach out through prayer!
My heart breaks when I hear of these things happening. As I continue to pray for you and your family I will pray for these families too. Sometimes in life we have to be able to lean on eachother and have strengh for one another in hard times and trials like these. Please send them my love. I will send good thoughts their way!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I last saw you, you shared your side of the story, you told me you felt like you were given this trial for others. I first thought of all the people that were given the opportunity to pray & fast for you. And how our faith has grown though the many prayers that were said in your behalf. And we were all blessed to witness your miracle. That alone has brought SO many people closer to the Lord. Now here is this family, ironically going though the same thing, & you are there to help give them have faith & find comfort in the Lord & again give us all a chance to pray for this family. The Lord works so miraculously though others! I will for sure include this family in my prayers!

The Bauers are in our prayers. I do not know God's will or his plan for each of his children. But I do know that He lives and loves each of us, and his ultimate plan is to bring us all back to Him and all we need to do is trust in Him.
ReplyDeleteHappy to pray for this family. We're so glad to have you back, Amber!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you are a widow. I am as well. It's one of the toughest things a person can experience. I am so glad JP doesn't have to experience it!!
Love ya!
