Everyday is a constant battle. Our whole lives we are taught to go by what we see, feel, think, and even the opinions of others often dictate our perspective. I know I'm constantly writing about "walking by faith; not by sight" - but it's my reality. Literally, as soon as my feet hit the floor every morning, I'm faced with this question -- am I going to let God's word, which is TRUTH, set the course for the day or am I going to go by what I see?
It's not easy! If you've ever been in a similar situation you know what I'm talking about.
I posted verses all over our room as a reminder that God's word supercedes everything else in our lives.
I am believing and walking in the Truth over Cody's life, even when the circumstances seem to completely oppose or deny his destiny. I know Cody has a destiny! We all do.
Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we wouldn't have necessarily chosen in a line-up, but I believe that when God has placed incredible calls on our lives the enemy tries to fight that much harder. Cody's entire destiny is at stake. He has a calling... the Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon him, because the Lord has anointed him to bring good news to the poor. He has sent Cody to comfort the brokenhearted and to announce that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent Cody to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord's favor has come. (Isaiah 61:1-2)
Cody has ministered in Fiji, Brazil, Mexico, and Nepal. In Brazil, he was part of a healing crusade, where he prayed for many sick people and saw them healed right before his very eyes. In Nepal, he hung out with the homeless, the refugees, the orphans, the least of these. He even spent a cold winter night on the street with a bunch of kids that the world had deemed useless. I believe this is just the beginning of how God wants to use Cody in the nations.
In all your praying, please ask God to put a slingshot in Cody's hand.... that he may defeat the giant called cancer and rise up out of this affliction in the power of Holy Spirit!

Thanks for letting me into your life and thoughts. You are amazing. Really. I will certainly pray for Cody with this new insight. God is a powerful God and will guide that one stone where it needs to hit the enemy.
That's heavy stuff, just yesterday Bill Johnson was telling us the same thing, "If you want to kill giants, hang out with giant killers" that's god right there!
Cody has ministered in alot of other places as well...anyone who meets him has been ministered to, or anyone who reads about him has been ministered to. His reach is wide. HUGS
I am saddened by my daughter's call this morning, sweet Amy Faye. But I know that Cody is now out of pain. Imagine his happiness as he lays at Jesus' feet the crown of jewels that he earned as he traveled this earth....
My arms, my shoulders and all my love are here. I will grieve beside you...and I'll hold the nightlight for you.

Praying and hoping that your dad arrived in CA and is with you.
