Her adventures did not end with that one night. We have had a 12 year ordeal. God is good, and in light of eternity, these are light and momentary troubles. Never alone.WayneThomasBatsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15837713579691260482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19752207.post-21877786048634861782020-09-24T19:27:00.501-05:002020-09-24T19:27:00.501-05:00I know this was posted several years ago, but I wa...I know this was posted several years ago, but I was scrolling through your blog and came across it. And wow it was amazing! Praise the Lord that Kayla was okay!! I also wanted to say thank you for sharing this. I have been dealing with health issues lately (non-Corana related thank goodness!) and although my problems are very different from Kayla"s. Your story reminded me that God is good and that if He chooses to He can heal me.

God is good!! I have been in a similar situation, only I was the one lying on the floor, and although my healing did not manifest as quickly as Kayla's it did manifest and I got to see and feel what an awesome God we serve! You should know and probably already do, that your daughter is a very brave young lady!! I am so....glad that everything turned out the way it did and I don't know about you, but I definitely pray for those I see in wheelchairs, or sick in anyway as the Lord leads----life is precious and the Word of God is real!!!! We are praying for you and your family......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19752207.post-72696564682468572522008-06-02T18:09:00.000-05:002008-06-02T18:09:00.000-05:00I'm sooooo glad your daughter's alright.

Your post is really making me realize that some of the most valuable things in life are not things that we have or buy are even find, it's what God gave us! <BR/><BR/><BR/>My family and I are going through a tough time right now. We have some financial trouble. But all through this time my family has gotten closer, we've spent much more time together. I think that in gaining worldly problems, we've gained spiritual blessings, which are more wonderful. <BR/>Well, I hope you don't mind the rattle of a 11 year old!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19752207.post-79987626823194912302008-05-28T18:51:00.000-05:002008-05-28T18:51:00.000-05:00Awesome post!

As a father myself, I can understand somewhat the feelings you went through. My kids never went through anything near that but I have intense emotions where they're concerned. God is definitely good!DanTheManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05500935975660121952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19752207.post-52081539394867817352008-05-28T09:08:00.000-05:002008-05-28T09:08:00.000-05:00Will be praying!

My experiences in tenth grade and even some of those drifts through shadows are some of the most ravaging, but most meaningful periods of my life. Its this very experience which brings me to where I am now currently working on a vampire story which illustrates this very point, finding meaning in a world that can be so twisted but filled with light if one just looks close enough. Thanks for sharing this incredible story Mr. Batson, you had me in tears as I read this. I cannot imagine the panic that prob. ran through you as your daughter became paralyzed. I will continue to pray with all the rest who know of what happened. God bless your daughter and your family!
