Journal entry by Claire Hall —
Hi everybody!! It’s been awhile since I have been on here, and I thought everyone would like a little update!! Thank you for all of your faithfulness in prayer! God has been so good to remind me of how He hears and He knows and He ANSWERS! Looking back on the past year (and some more!) it’s been really cool to see how faithful He has been all along the way, even when I couldn’t see it in the hard times!
I am attending Oklahoma Baptist University and I finished my first year of nursing school. After going through the past few years, I feel that God has given me my specific experiences for a purpose and I feel like He has uniquely gifted me and given me the desire to care for others the way I have been cared for.
My scans of recent have all remained clear and I am rejoicing with every one in this HUGE answer to prayer!! Although every scan brings feelings of uncertainty, with each scan I am reminded of God’s faithfulness and goodness despite the outcome, and it has allowed me to grow in my trust in Him and has really been sanctifying a reminder to me. Do I trust Him with my all?
I will be attending OBU this fall and I apply for nursing school in the spring! A few prayer requests:
- My brother gets married soon!! Prayers for our family and for a sweet time!
-School is starting up soon!! Prayers for the semester and health throughout as well as endurance to work hard in my studies and my pursuit to become a nurse!
- I have had residual pain since my surgeries on my brain on my right side and specifically my right arm. I continue to have nerve pain that leaves my right arm in some pain, and not functioning as well as I wish. Being right side dominate this has been discouraging. I will have some more scans and things soon to see if this can be helped, but I would like to ask that you guys would pray for healing for that! God is fully capable of doing “more than we can ask, think, or imagine” and He is the ultimate Healer. I really would like to not have any more scans or medication!
-I have my next MRI September 11th as of right now!! Prayers for more clear scans!
I am beyond grateful for all of the prayers, the sweet messages, and encouragement! God has provided for me beyond anything I could have ever asked for, and I have recently been reminded of this! So so thankful!!
-Claire
