Hello Prayer Warriors –
I’m starting tonight’s post with a verse…
20 “You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”
Matthew 17:20
I don’t know what you all are doing differently, but the child I have spent the day with today is completely different from the child we brought her on Sunday. Some could say it’s because they increased her steroids, but I believe it is because of the thousands of warriors we have storming heaven on our girl’s behalf. We are praying, God is hearing, and I am looking forward to watching this mountain hurl itself into the ocean!
Today we saw Kayleigh’s oncologist and to say he was pleased with what he saw would be an understatement. After this weekend he was expecting the worst. Instead he came into a room full of people and a precious Kayleigh, wide awake, watching TV, visiting with family. Her speech was better, swallowing improved, and she even had the tiniest of improvements in mobility on her right side!
She certainly has many hurdles still in front of her. There is still a huge concern about progression. The other doctors we saw at Lebonheur felt the CT scan she had done showed significant progression. Kayleigh’s oncologist however does not want to make any plans without the MRI because it will show is a much better picture of what we are truly dealing with. That means we have until 2:45 pm on Wednesday to storm heaven asking for a remarkable miracle – that is when she has her scan.
My primary prayer is for complete healing this side of heaven. Complete healing immediately would be awe inspiring, and certainly something that could not be explained by anything but God Almighty. However, if that is not God’s plan right now my prayer is for a remarkable miracle of some sort just the same. Yet, no matter how God chooses to answer my prayer, I will choose to praise Him for His matchless goodness, and be thankful for His continued guidance, mercy, peace and grace.
Joy truly does come in the morning – and today God gifted us with fresh joy all day long. I opened my Facebook page to friend after friend that had changed their profile or cover picture to Kayleigh. Friends have organized a fundraiser softball tournament, and other friends have organized a prayer vigil for tomorrow night to pray for Kayleigh, entering God’s courts on a mission of intercession for our girl. God has used each of you to reinforce our convictions and regrow our faith. Yesterday, I looked at my precious child and i wasn’t sure my faith could continue holding on for a miracle. Today, I look at her and smile – then I look to that mountain and smile – we are going to tell it to jump. Not me alone, but WE as a group of believers.
If you are able to pray with us tomorrow please do. If you’re local to Hartselle, AL they will be meeting at the Hartselle Softball fields off of Nance Ford Rd with prayer beginning at 6:30 pm CST. If you are not local or can’t join us, if you could stop and join us in prayer at 6:30 pm CST we would be so very grateful.
Get ready mountain… Here we come…
Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow 💜
Jeremiah 29:11-13
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

Will pushing KB’s chair – he was a great driver!
They actually gave Cole paints and told him to paint the windows of Kayleigh’s room!
A friend sent me this… Yes, He can!
Yesterday (10/16) morning at 9am, our employees gather for prayer. I had just read (new reader) Kayleigh’s blog moments prior. We are also studying a book by Paul Miller, “A Praying Life.” As a chaplain (Hospice of the Valley), I am trying to grow in my prayer life and bring others along to learn in new ways how powerful prayer is. I welcome opportunities to pray, and that morning, we prayed specifically as you had requested. A co-worker texted me moments ago urging me to read today’s update. We are inspired and thrilled for your family! We will continue to pray as you direct, eager to watch what God will do with our tiny amount of faith in Him.
