Well, Jessica and I spent the night with Jalin last night. It was pretty rough. She couldn't get comfortable enough to get to sleep. The nurse gave her Benadryl, nauseau, and pain medicine in an attempt to help. She also got breathing treatments and musinex. All through the night she had to be repositioned. None of us can even begin to imagine what she has been dealing with. Jalin, we love you so much. Last night, she may have slept two hours total. This morning when dad came in she was really having a cry. After 18 days, the emotional toll has finally caught up with her. It is ok though, I believe every one of us have cried a million tears. She said she missed her church. We sang and dad preached us a mini-sermon. The doctors just came in and reduced her tube to gravity. They said if everything goes well, they will pull out the tube in the morning. The nurse said that she is going to let her sit on the side of the bed in a little while. God is shining on Jalin and putting more passion behind her story. He has taken her places that most in a lifetime will never go. There is a peace now. God is here.

ReplyDeleteJalin, Mrs.Lori, Bro. Darryl : It is so amazing how God uses people and things to do His blessing. Did you ever speak to someone on the phone for the first time, and you just knew that person was a Christian ? Friday I spent a long time with AT&T Tech Serv. during that time I told the Lady a little of Jalin's story, Bro D. this lady got to shouting, she took down the name of our Church, Jalin's name and some where there is a black group of Christians praying for you right now Jalin, this lady was precious.

ReplyDeletethat is so amazing! God has really shined a light on you in so very many ways. You have come a long way from 18 days ago and you have not turned away from God not one time.You will be ready to come out from under his wing and fly. Ready to come back to ranburne and tell everyone about how awsome Our God is and this is not the end of the wonderful journey God started for you jalin. This is just another chapter in the making. We love you and pray for you everyday. It is wonderful to know that you might get your tube out. Then you can really start moving huh?! Well we all miss you and will be glad to see your smiling face again. In his Holy name we lift that up right now. We are waiting for you to come home Jalin! To sing,rejoice and worship together again with you and your youth group. We love you Jalin!!

Jalin we are so proud of you! I know it is a long hard road. And I know sometimes all you want to do is cry. You have been through so much. But when all of this is over you will be crying tears of JOY. There have already been tears of joy cried because you have already come so far! Everytime I get on this blog I cry...sometimes it is because I can feel the worry from your mom and dad and sometime I know that you are in pain....BUT SOMETIMES I CRY BECAUSE I CAN FEEL THE EXCITEMENT in what your mom and dad write and it makes me PRAISE the Lord and I just begin rejoicing with them! God is so good and he is going to deliver you out of every bit of this and you are going to have the most wonderful testimony! We are praying for you and we love you.

Pastor & Ms. Lori,
ReplyDeleteIt's okay to cry, you can't watch your child hurt, and not cry for her. I know you are all so tired, but we hear His strength coming through your words. God is going to carry you all through this, because He knows you are trusting Him to do that! We are praying for Jalin's right lung, that it may grow stronger, that there will be no surgery, that once again God will intervene.
Jalin,
You are going to make it girl! You are doing great! We are just amazed everyday at your progress. You will be back singing and praising Him with us soon. We love you and we're praying for you always.
Runa, Scottie & Tory
Hi Jalin!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a few days since I last talked to you, but that doesn't mean I have stopped praying for you. You and your family are in my prayers everyday. You have come such a long way in the last 19 days. I pray that you will continue to get better each and every day. You are such a strong and corageous young lady. Most importantly you are a strong Christian! God will see you through to the end of this difficult time. As He tells us, He will never leave us nor forsake us. He is with you Jalin! Just continue to look to Him and He will see to it that you overcome this. Hope you rest better tonight and hope to hear tomorrow that they removed the tube.
Love ya,
Mrs. Rainey
hey Jalin,
ReplyDeletewe all have been praying for you and thinking about you. Hope you are better real soon.
your friend, Wil Rainey
WOW! I'm sitting here in awe at how great Our God is. Because of Him, the faith ya'll have in Him, and all the prayers that has been lifted for ya'll, Jalin has recovered, in 18 days, from something that others would take many months to recover from. I know there's still along way to go but we're getting there one day at a time. I know God is continuing to bless ya'll everyday. I just can't believe it! Sitting up on the edge of the bed and possibly fixing to lose the last chest tube?!!! That's awesome! We're still praying for ya'll! We love ya'll!
ReplyDeleteMatt Cummings and the Sardis Youth Group

ReplyDeleteYou are a very beautiful and special young lady.I cant wait to see your smile.
You truly inspire us and I am proud to be your uncle.
Jalin,
ReplyDeletewhat a journey this is! You have been so strong. This time next year, you will be enjoying your Senior year at school and sharing with everyone what you have been through. We don't know what the future holds but we know who holds our future!!!! Isn't that a blessing. We're praying for your lungs to get stronger and maybe by this time tomorrow the last chest tube will be out. We're looking forward to having you back in God's country(Ranburne)!! Have a good night's rest!! Love you, Sandra Harris
Our church family is praying for you. I give a "Jalin Update" each Sunday. Most folks at our church don't even know you but still are praying for your healing and strength. You have an army of prayer warriors surrounding you.

Jalin,
ReplyDeleteI am so amazed at the progress you have made over the last few weeks. You are such as strong person. You have been through more physical pain than most of us will endure in a lifetime and yet have held on to your faith and praised God through it all. You are an awesome person and I am so excited to see what God is going to do for you in the future. Hang in there girl and remember how much I LOVE YOU! Tina
I'm super glad things are getting better everyday! My little boy is really sick and kept me up all last night, so I said some big time prayers for you guys last night. It's a morning ritual that my girls in my first period and I check this blog to see how things are going. Just know we're praying for you guys here at CCMS!

ReplyDeleteWe are so proud of you Jalin. You are such an inspiration to us all. A lot of times we take life for granted, but you have shown so many people how precious life can be. We pray that you and your family will have peace and that you will come home soon!
We Love You So Much!!!
Chrissy & Clay
I'm so glad you're better. I know it has been one trial after another, but God is always there. He has you in the palm of his hand right now watching over you. It is a relief and a blessing to know He will always be there. We all love you and are praying for you.
ReplyDeleteGood morning you guys,
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how life goes on, even when it seems to stand still for some... as I read the latest blurbs my thoughts turn to Ecclesiastes, where Soloman refers to time...he says to everything there is a season, a purpose for everything under the sun...many times we may not understand that purpose...and at times I question why God allows things to happen a certain way...but in the New Testament, the bible warns us that we will only know in part and understand in part and the true test is in being able to stand in faith on what we know is real, and to hold to the promises God gives like in Hebrews 10, where we're told not to through away our confidence; because it will be richly rewarded and to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised...and in this case that's a healed, healthy Jalin...we love ya'll and are continuing to pray for all of you...trails bring pereverance; perseverance brings faith, and faith the blessings of God...
