"But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall."
God is so beautiful and we know that He is with us every single step of the way. It's kinda like that poem "footprints"... sometimes we only see 1 set of footprints, but it's because He's carrying both of us. One in each arm.
A month ago, when we were in the hospital in Mexico for round 1 of chemo, I annointed Cody's entire body with oil and just prayed over him as we listened to Jason Upton. At the same time, a group of our friends back in NC were praying for him too. Later that same night, I got out of bed to go to the bathroom. I was trying to be really quiet so I wouldn't wake Cody. As I came out of the bathroom he said to me, "I saw feathers. when you closed the door I saw feathers."
I was like "huh? you saw feathers?"
And Cody said "yeah, feathers. I think there's an angel in the room standing guard."
Well, since that night one month ago, one of my favorite Psalms to read to Cody has been Psalm 91. I've probably read it 50 times since that night in the hospital, but verse 4 never occured to me. I never got the revelation until a few days ago when a friend pointed it out to me. "He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge..."
Wow! I just love it when God shows Himself to us in this way.
And just about 15 minutes ago as I'm sitting here typing, thinking Cody was asleep, he says to me... "I just had a vision" and I'm like "wow, I can't keep up with all your visions!" :)
He says that he saw 2 angels in our little room, kinda jammin out almost reggae style. One of them was wearing some cool sunglasses and they were singing "don't worrrrry, about a thiiiiing, be---cause everything little thing is gonna be alright. we're sayin, don't worrrrry about a thing, because everything little thing is gonna be allllright."
In the words of Clint Givens, we don't wanna go around cancer. We're gonna walk right through it. And we know that our loving Heavenly Father is on the other side cheering us on. Like a little boy learning to ride his bike for the first time and his daddy is right there beside him saying, "you can do it!"

This is a great story! It gave me chills! Thank you for passing it along. I love to hear God stories. They are always so encouraging:)
Love you guys and continually lifting you up in prayer!
Jonathan & Alysia Tarpley
WOW, thank you for sharing your stories. "Angels Unaware". As many of us continue to pray for God's protection for both of you, I expect God's angels to be revealed to you both. Your willingness to share keeps us prayer warriors encouraged and on our knees on your behalf. Love you lots, Mama B (Sandra)
Oh, you guys....The Lord is SOOOO right there with you! It's so cool to see Him send visions, dreams, and WINGS to you at this time. HOw we often forget that the face of the Lord when He comes to us can be in ANY form. Not only as an angel but as the broken body of Christ. At any moment I expect a stigmata to pop out on Cody's body!
I have never seen two people go thru such hell with such annointing. It's a witness to ALL OF US! I love you guys. Cody, it was soooo wonderful to talk to you today. I miss your voice...(Amy, forgive him for sneaking a little O.J. today!! If I were there Cody, I'd sneak you alot of stuff! I know I know, I"m BAD!!!!) xoxoxoxox Foster Mom, Sandy
Hey Amy & Cody--
We love you! You are beautiful. Just want to share that last Sunday at MVF, Tim broke into "Don't worry, be happy.." in the middle of worship...I know it is not the same song but the message is clear: every little and big thing is gonna be alright.
Big hugs, Jill Hambleton
More kisses, more hugs, Sandy
