Both of my children Jacob, now 11 and Rachel, now 8 were diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis four years ago, neither my husband or I have anyone, that we know of, on either side of our family with the life threatening disease, so it has been a small adjustment with treatments twice and sometimes three times daily to keep the airwaves open and children breathing easily. 
The children had just returned from a few days in the hospital for a “tune-up” and I was doing the last leg at home of IV antibiotics to help boost their immunity.  So I will share with you last night as I was tucking in my daughter for bed.  Rachel started coughing, and I thought she was going to be ill.  She looked terribly worried, I was closing off the IV antibiotic drip line for the night.  She saw a little blood on her stomach (it rubbed off from the drip during the transition).  So I called the doc to see everything was ok.  Then we prayed over her, she and I asked Jesus to lovingly wrap his healing arms around her and heal her.  This seemed to calm her down and she went to sleep.  


The next morning we read a bit from the Bible, and Jesus was saying for us to say "I trust you Jesus" in everything that happens.  I told her she could always talk to Jesus and listen, he will respond.  Then she got upset and said, "I do talk, but he never, ever answers me!"  I said, “Well, it won't necessarily sound like our voices, it may be you get a message dropped into your mind and are able to understand it... that is how it happens for me.”  Then she said, "Oh, I get that ... last night they told me I was ok, and I was not going to die."  I was a little shocked and asked “What made you think that you were going to die?” she told me she thought she was coughing up blood.  Then she went on to say she had asked Jesus to forgive her for those times in anger she said she wished she were in Heaven, and said she realized she is not really ready to go yet!  I explained the blood on her tummy had rubbed off from the pic line, we cleaned it up and I had not thought a thing more of it.  It all came clear, she thought the blood came from her cough, and thought she was dying...either Jesus or her Angel told her she was fine and she was going to live through this...and now she knows she gets guidance in the messages! This was one of the biggest blessings I could ever have prayed for in her life, to truly understand she is not alone and she knows she gets the messages.
