We could tell you what many professionals believe, how Laura’s odds are overwhelming, how she needs a miracle; you already know this. Therefore, we will tell you what we see and what we believe in faith. Last night was so incredible, all I could think of was how I wanted to call everyone and share. Unfortunately, I called no one in order that all of you would get the information today. Laura was doing so much that we cannot even put words to it (only wish there was video). She was basically talking for several minutes (no distinguishable words, yet). With intense coaching from us, Laura was struggling to lift up her right arm and right leg. She did this over and over on command. You can see the intense effort in her face. God can and will complete this process. Please pray for Laura’s mindset and give her strength to overcome her physical prison. We will not relent until victory is ours and glory be to our Lord.

Our family is looking into 4 facilities as possible relocations for Laura. The facilities are St. John’s 3rd floor rehab, Barnes hospital/Washington University, MO Rehab in Mount Vernon, and Carbondale Illinois facility. All these facilities will be evaluating Laura over the next several days. Please pray for guidance and wisdom throughout this process. We know that God will open up the right doors for Laura and her recovery. If she has to leave St. Louis in the short term, we will desperately miss her, but all of us will understand. We will do whatever it takes to give Laura the opportunity to recover and regain her quality of life.

Never has the law of the spirit versus the law of the flesh received such intense testing. Those on the flesh side set their minds on statistics, man’s opinions, and seemingly every insurmountable challenge that Laura may face. Are you walking around and living your life in the flesh? Are you worrying about what others think of you or are you determined to live in the spirit for Christ? If you were lying in that bed and you were Laura, whom would you want in your corner? Would you want people who ride the emotional roller coaster of life or would you want people that believed and trusted in God’s Word and believed in the truth that God’s miraculous healing powers are real regardless of doubt or circumstances? Look in the mirror and decide who you are! Better yet, look above and let Him tell you which team you belong to!

FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HAS FREED ME FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. (Romans 8:2)

We love you,
Jeff and Laura Laughlin
