Levi's Updates

I want to share a story with you! Recently, Levi had been talking with his dad about a message that he (pastor Horton) was going to share with their congregation at Galax First Assembly. The message was going to be about the "Temple"-- Pastor Horton made the point that the temple sometimes may not look like much on the outside, but that on the INSIDE--that's where God's Glory abounds! The next day at school, Levi's class was having "quiet time" and while Levi had his head on his desk, he told us that he just began to pray! He said "I thought I was going to have to get up and run laps around the school!!" He said the Lord spoke to him in his spirit and said that God was getting ready to do something great! When he told his family, Levi's grandmother told Levi that maybe the Lord was getting ready to send his healing! Maybe Levi wasn't going to have to be blind anymore! Wouldn't that be a blessing? But Levi said...."Grandma, I wasn't even thinking about my healing. I was thinking about all the souls that were going to come to our temple and get saved!" What an example! What a testimony of true selflessness. I have to admit, when Josh shared this story with me, my eyes filled with tears. What a wise young man, to be more concerned with the Lost than himself. I think we could ALL learn a major lesson here! This young man just keeps on amazing me! He helps me see Christ more clearly. Ironic, huh?

I know were are long overdue for an update. Sorry for not writing sooner. Truly Levi has been doing so well, there hasn't been a need for update. So that's a good thing! He is doing very well. The whole Horton Family came to visit with us a few days after christmas and stayed over into the new year. We had such a wonderful time. Levi and Josh even recorded a few songs and put it onto a CD with Josh's recording equipment. It's so neat and a lot of fun.

They had a wonderful Christmas, thanks to many of you who gave to them. Pastor Horton, Levi's dad, said it was one of the best Christmases they ever had. Praise unto God!

Keep on praying for Levi and the Horton Family. We believe God has healed his body. We are believing that one day he will see again on this side of heaven! God is still in the healing business!

God Bless!

Hello Everyone, Before I share the praise report, I wanted to tell you first we have been trying to update but the computer has been acting up and not letting us here to update, so now that we are here, let me share with you. We had a honor of being with the Horton Family Labor Day weekend in Galtinburg, TN. Everyone seemed to be doing well. We had such a wonderful time with them.  I spoke with Pastor Horton yesterday over the phone and God is moving friends! In the middle of August, Aaron & Amanda Crabb were in Revival at Galax First Assembly were Bro. Horton is pastor. The last night of the revival, Aaron and Amanda prayed over Levi. From reports, the power of God was so strong that when Aaron touched Levi, he leaped up. After that night, Levi told his mother, that he didn't do that on purpose, that it was like electric power that hit him. Since that time, Levi has not been hurting AT ALL!!!

Levi was at his grandmothers house a few days ago and Levi told his grandmother that he knows God IS healing him! We are still standing with Levi and believing that God is doing just that. Please keep on praying for him. God still answers prayers and I believe his is doing right now!

I got some more info on Levi today--

The doctor says that somehow, cells from Levi's tumor have broken off, and moved into his spine. They are calling the places nodules, but they are really like little tumors in his back. There are a lot of those tumors there, and surgery is not an option. 

They CAN do chemotherapy to try and stop it, but we aren't sure what Levi is going to be doing at this point in time.

I would like to ask you to REALLY pray for Levi Horton, RIGHT NOW.
It is our job to lift up our brother in prayer, and the bible says that "the prayer of faith shall save the sick..." (james 5:15)

Keep praying for a miracle!

Just wanted to let you all know that we received word that Levi's tumor has moved into his back. We are not sure if they are going to try and remove the nodules, but will let you know ASAP! 

Thanks to all who are praying! We love you very much!

Josh and I received an update from Pastor Horton (Levi's Dad) this morning. Levi had an MRI last week. The results were that Levi's tumor had grown 1 centimeter on one side, and 3/4 centimeter the other way.

Also, they found nodules and a frosting on Levi's spine. He had been having some back pain, and that is why.

We will know more in a couple of weeks! Until then, keep praying for healing! We believe GOD!

Love you all!
