There were lots of people who were committed to praying along with us for Aliyah's healing. Many people who were contending for Aliyah's healing began having visions, dreams, and words of knowledge that Aliyah was healed. With each word we received, we continued to press in to the Father's heart in faith.

Father,
I received a facebook message from Trishelle saying that she had a dream last night that Rod and I went in to get a follow-up ultrasound for Aliyah. The ultrasound showed that Aliyah was completely normal! Lord.....could it be true? Trishelle is known as a person who has prophetic dreams. She also had the dream on 7/7 which in Scripture represents wholeness and completeness. Lord, may it be so. May Aliyah be healed. Please continue to give us guidance and wisdom! Janae

Yesterday, Rod and I attended the wedding of some friends, Jon and Carly Buckwalter. While we were enjoying some appetizers at the reception underneath a white canopy, we began talking to Cory and Carrie Martin. They were asking if we had any updates in regards to Aliyah's condition. We started sharing with them about the word spoken over us at Christ Community Church a few weeks before and also about the vision Matt had received with a Gerber Daisy and butterflies.
Cory and Carrie offered to pray for us and began praying for Aliyah's complete healing. At the end of prayer, Carrie said, "Janae, look up." At the top of the canopy we were standing other was a beautiful butterfly circling above us! We felt so known!!
Rod and I decided that if we were seriously going to pursue healing for Aliyah, we should seek out every healing service we could find in Lancaster County. We joked that we were some of the most prayed for people in the County!
On June 22, 2010, Rod and I went to Christ Community Church in Camp Hill, PA for their healing service. We had never been to the church before, and had found out about their service online. We went into the church and sat down in the front row with about 15 other people who had come for prayer. We sat soaking in the music from the worship band playing up front.
I noticed a painted picture on the stage as we were listening to the worship music. It was of a hand reaching out to touch the hem of Jesus' garment. This was what I had prayed so many times over the past few weeks....that Jesus would come close enough to me that I could just reach out and touch the hem of his garment for Aliyah's healing.
The second part of the service was of children from the church talking what they felt that the Holy Spirit had given them to share. Many of the children were so scared to step up to the mike but some of them boldly talked about a word or picture they had received from the Lord. One of the children's leaders said that she felt the Lord had given her two words for two different people that evening. I don't remember what the first word was, but I will never forget what the second word was......"If someone has come for healing for their daughter tonight, your daughter is healed."
I almost fell off the front row bench I was sitting on! Could this word of knowledge truly be for us and Aliyah? I quickly looked down the line of people to see if anyone else had brought their daughter in for healing. Everyone else was middle-aged. I of course began to cry and numerous people came around us and joined with us in praying for Aliyah's healing. We had been asking for a sign and confirmation of Aliyah's healing......could this mean that Aliyah was truly healed? We continued to press in.......
