I was at the hospital with Nichole today, and she said to me (several times), "I want to go to Heaven." Please pray that God would grant her desire swiftly and painlessly.
I'd like to add something: I spent time with Nichole yesterday and though all that has been posted is true, I must say that the Lord is giving her, what seems, incredible grace and fortitude - for picture this: before I left, she looked up and stared at me full in the face with this big, sweet smile. Oh, how I long to see and am begging the Lord to heal her whether that be by granting her, her heavenly body or restoring her earthly one. but as Paul said, Heaven is far better!!!! I also have to confess, I have not witnessed such suffering!!!
As Spurgeon so eloquently stated, "Oh! what a blessed time shall that be when we shall have mounted above every second cause and shall rest upon the bare arm of God! What a glorious hour when God, and not His creatures; the Lord, and not His works, shall be our daily joy! Our souls shall then have attained the perfection of bliss."
My prayers for Nicole would be complete healing whether in physical body; she certainly would be of great use here on earth as Norm's wife and mothering her children as they grow up into adults loving the Lord; or His perfect healing by entrance to her heavenly home. May God be glorifed through her suffering!
"For our light and momentary troubles are ACHIEVING for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." (2 Cor. 4:17-18)
We love you, dear sister! We praise Jesus that He is working, achieving, storing up for you an eternal weight of glory through your trials that will allow you a greater capacity to know, love, enjoy and praise Him forever & ever & ever. Your witness has been an encouragement to us and, we trust, all the saints. We're rejoicing and expecting to see innumerable fruits resulting from your perseverance and Christlike character.
We love you! We're praying for you, Norm and your family.
Love, James, Anne, Titus, Phoebe and Hadassah Hannah Mullen
Both Tanya and I are reading this at the same time. We pray for you every night and especially always lift up Nichole. We will make certain to pray once again for her, that God will either Heal her completely or Take her home swiftly.
Let her know that We love you and your kids and her very much.
Norm please let Nicole know how much we love her. Up to this point, we have not been able to get back up to see you guys (we missed seeing Nicole that time). Our family has endured much sickness these last months. My mom has had pneumonia twice, Marcus once and Faith recently had it. I would never want to bring anything to Nicole. My heart aches to see her though. I'm afraid I won't get to see her again so if you could tell her we love her and pray for her every night I would appreciate it. I am sad to hear she is in so much pain and it makes me so sad. I am excited though that she is looking forward to seeing our Lord. I can't imagine how that will be but I know it's going to be the greatest thing ever! I know Nicole is going to have many jewels in her crown. She has been so sweet and loving and a great example of a godly woman. I love you guys and I wish things were different. I wish we were closer so we could help you. I "know" how much you need it. I truly love you guys. We will be praying for you and the children as well (those precious little ones, they are so cute). In His care, Tanya
I am so sad that I just saw this!! Totally praying for your healing Nichole!! As with little Malachi Smith, God delights in doing the IMPOSSIBLE and has paved the way for us to ask for it!! I know we have no idea (how could we) of the pain you have endured, or why on earth YOU were the one chosen to go through this, but God has great plans for you and they are not over yet!!! "What, what would have become of me, had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the LIVING? Wait, and hope for, and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage, and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and EXPECT the Lord" Psalm 27:13-14 (Amplified Version)
The Holy Spirit must have prompted me to check by here to see how Nichole was. She may not remember me, but I remember her and her sweet smile and countenance vividly. Praying now, and throughout the night.
