More than likely, this will be my last 'official' post devoted exclusively to Will. PRAISE GOD!!! :)
I went yesterday and brought some of Brittany's wonderful brownies. Hey, I didnt eat even ONE!! I am telling you though: That girl could sell them and make a killing! The family is incredibly happy, needless to say, as their son has made it through and intense trial. He is scheduled to be moved to a normal room today.
He is recovering extraordinarily fast. He ate his first real meal yesterday, amazingly, and is talking normally. His wit is back, 'dry' as only Will can do 'dry humor'. :) His right hand and especially his feet are still bad off though. Huge blisters, swollen.......that can use prayer. All else is almost back to normal.
Again.......thanks guys. I have never seen the ground-swell of prayer as I saw this past week. Amazing. It makes me realize just how important it is to be well-connected in the Body of Christ. Truthfully? The battle could have gone either way. The VICTORY is assured in the end, but, battles are won, battles lost in the process.
I am so glad we won this battle.
Sunday is going to be a time of great JOY! See you then.....
PB
I haven't been on your blog for a while and I saw that Will has been very ill. I'll keep him in my prayers. We serve an awesome God and I know he will be restored and be used of God, because of this trial he's gone thru. Never give up............

He was moved to a regular room, but He said on facebook that he wants people to call before they come. but he is in room 324 which is right down the hall and around the corner from where he was before...

The rocks didn't have time to cry out to God, because the Lord saw fit in His infinite knowledge and power to have Will back singing the praises of our Lord and King! I can't wait to hear a CD put out by Will ringing in the praises! No one will know also till that DAY how many lives were touched by this outpouring of love and support for such a true man of God. Take care, The Soares Family

This VICTORY reminds me of this time tested song!
Victory in Jesus "An excerpt"
Words and Music by E.M. Bartlett 1939
I heard about His healing,
Of His cleansing pow'r revealing.
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus,
Come and heal my broken spirit,"
And somehow Jesus came and bro't
To me the victory.
Chorus
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.
:)Jesus is LORD, AMEN Harvest!

Yes! We rejoice in the Victory and will continue to pray for Will's hands & feet...it will be a complete work. Praise our Glorious Lord who does all things well! I'm so grateful to be connected to such a wonderful church family...we need each other :) Love to all!

We will not stop praying for Will or anyone else in leadership. We were talking about how we often only pray when something happens. Leadership of our church family should be high on our prayer lists.
Love you guys and see you soon.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. "How lovely on the mountains are the feet of them who bring good news!! The Lord restores his people unto Zion. Our God reigns. Our God reigns!" That's my version of a great scripture somewhere in Isaiah??... the Jen Hubbell paraphrase:). Love to all!
