More good news!

The MRI today showed that there was no swelling or shrinking of the brain...praise God! See the power of all your prayers! THank you all! So Caleb has been off the medicine that was helping his heart pump since 7:15 last night and has been doing well with that. (So that means his heart is pumping on its own) They lowered the dosage of sedatives today too. And they will be monitoring that. He is still taking breaths on his own but is still on the ventilator. They will probably try to feed him some formula tomorrow too. (Through a tube going down into his stomach.) Today we also started some physical therapy. He showed some resistance in some of the exercises. He's been moving his legs, feet, and arms too a little every now and then. We also started playing his favorite movies for him and when we get a cd player we will play him his favorite songs.

So praise the LORD! HIS miracle is happening right before our eyes. And our baby is being so strong! He's a fighter!

One Aunty of his saw a vision: An angel is holding his hand and Kamakana asked the angel if he can go and see his mommy. Oh how that makes me cry! I miss him sooooooooo much and I can hear him saying that. But it also brings me some peace. Thank you GOD!

We are so humbled by everyones love and support! It's so awesome...you are all so awesome! WE pray for you all everyday too and all your faithful hearts! Thank you for continuing to visit Caleb and us. We are so blessed by all of you! Thank you, thank you, sooooo much! We love you...

Constantly in prayer...

I miss you, Kamakana. Are you asking the angel about your favorite aunty? Ha, ha, ha! I can't wait to see you again this afternoon! You bring so much joy into our lives. God has a special job for you right now and you are doing great! So many people are talking to God and seeing how much Faith your mommy and daddy have. It's amazing! HIS amazing love is greater than anything in this world.

From Jennifer Bermudez to Caleb's Family

I GIVE MY BURDENS TO THE LORD - "Cast my burdens upon the Lord, and He shall sustain me; He will never suffer the righteous to me moved." Psalm 55:22
STEADFASTNESS - "My heart is steadfast, it is fixed on You O Lord, I shall not be shaken and I shall not be moved until I see the what I need changed." Psalm 112
I CAN'T; GOD CAN -Apart from God I can do nothing! John 15:5

We are to abandon ourselves to His purposes, and declare ourselves totally dependent on Him. Without Him, we can do nothing!

I thank God daily that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! Phil 4:13 For my God shall supply ALL of my needs! Phil 4:19

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! The Lord is near! Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:4-7

Your Confession!
God I need you in the midst of all that I am doing and going through. Apart from You Lord I can't do anything. In my anxiousness help me to quiet my soul, quiet my mind, quiet my heart, quiet my thoughts and emotions. Help me Lord to control my emotions and let me walk in peace. My eyes are fixed on You! I look UP from the place that I am at because it is subject to change. I renew my mind daily with Your thoughts O Lord, Your ways and Your Word. I commit my way to You and You shall bring it to pass. I guard my heart with all diligence not letting the negative circumstances in my life enter into my heart. Lord Your are my strength, my redeemer, my peace, my fortress, my joy, my mighty champion for your are mighty in battle, You are the Lover of my soul. I choose to trust you Lord with all my heart, my soul and my strength. I thank You Lord for always being there for me and never letting me go. Amen!

God is all of that for you if only you let Him be that! It is your choice how you deal with the situations in your life. There are things that you cannot change or control. Even when you think that I prayed to God and God has not answered me yet. Faith and patience and a persevering spirit to trust God at His word will keep your feet from slipping. God is answering you but not always in the way you want to be answered. He may be building your character, allowing you to go through certain circumstance to strengthen you for the next step. God does not fail. The bible says though it tarries wait for it shall surely come and it shall not delay. Not your way but God's way. Keep the fight and push out all those negative thoughts. Don't even start talking about the problem because you are adding fire to the flame. Romans 4:17 said to call those things that be not as though they are. This works also with the negative words that we say. We can talk about the problem and bring it to past as well as we can choose life and speak life and bring that to past. Read about the Tower of Babel is a great example. Choose life God said! God's best is yet to come. Live Fierce and persevere trusting God and don't quit. That enemy wants you to quit but don't give him any place in your life. Be determined to trust God.

Have an awesome blessed and peaceful day. Today right now is the morning of Joy but again you determine when morning comes! Rejoice!
