It is often said that a picture is worth 1,000 words....
"Salida", in Spanish, means exit!!
Today is Mexican Independence Day, and with the biggest smile on my face I am excited to tell everyone that I am celebrating my independence too!!
I AM FINALLY ABLE TO COME HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our hope is to be able to leave in a few weeks! Please pray for us that everything goes smoothly and all things continue to come together to make this possible!
I can't believe this day is finally here.... Nothing is impossible with God!!
See you all soon! :)
In His awesome power and love, always,
Jessica

Dear Jessica and Sara Gina,
ReplyDeleteWow, Wow, Wow is all we can say as we read this announcement with tears in our eyes and hearts!
There are no words to say in response to this. Just, Thank you Lord for answered prayers!
Congratulations Jessica for never giving up and for being such a strong and courageous young woman and God Bless your Mother for holding up under the immeasurable amount of emotional and physical stress for 2 years in a different country away from all her support system and God bless your Father and sisters for holding down the home fort while you were away and God bless all the amazing people He sent to you while in Mexico to become your Mexican family for both of you and last but certainly not least, God bless Dr. Cantu and his team for their role in your healing.
Jessica, this was a HUGE team effort led by our Lord who put all the team "members" in place for you. Everyone did their part and now, you can reap the astounding rewards of all your hard work!
God Bless you and bring you home safely and may He continue to put the team members in place in your new home that will help you to fully recover and be able to walk again.
With God, all things are possible, as we have all seen through watching you!
We are so happy for all of you. Thank you for sharing this amazing news with all of us!
We love you!!!

ReplyDeleteFields Of Grace lyrics
Verse 1:
Theres a place where I love to run and play
Theres a place where I sing new songs of praise
Dancing with my Father God in fields of grace
Dancing with my Father God in fields of grace
Verse 2:
Theres a place where I lose myself in Him
Theres a place where I find myself again
Dancing with my Father God in fields of grace
Dancing with my Father God in fields of grace
Verse 3:
Theres a place where religion finally dies
Theres a place where I lose my selfish pride
Dancing with my Father God in fields of grace
Dancing with my Father God in fields of grace

Bridge:
I love my Father my Father loves me
I dance for my Father my Father sings over me
I love my Father my Father loves me
I dance for my Father my Father sings over me
And nothing nothing nothing can take that away from me
Nothing nothing nothing can take that away from me
And nothing nothing nothing can take that away from me
Nothing nothing nothing can take that away from me

You're still glowin'...you're still crowin'...you're still goin' strong
Another historic moment
ReplyDeletehttp://www.gty.org/blog/B110918#.TnfUEKN5mSM
Forty-three years ago, John MacArthur set his sights on preaching through the entire New Testament, using verse-by-verse Bible exposition. Over the years he worked hard to accomplish that goal, and he didn’t merely hit the highlights of the New Testament or avoid difficult passages. He expounded everything in a bold, courageous, and in-depth manner that we’ve grown to know and love.
John recently accomplished the goal he set many years ago. As you'd expect, he ended his journey the same way he began—by exalting the person and work of Christ.
We thought you'd like to share in that historic moment by watching the video below. You can also click here to watch, read, or listen to John's landmark message.
Dearest Jessica and Gina, I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is such incredible, awesome news!!!!!!!!! Miracles have happened all the while you've been there, and God has shown His hand in your life!!!!! We are so very grateful!!!!! Keep us posted.......... If there's anything I can do, please please please let me know!!!!!!!! Love always, Angel xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteSara Gina said: "My "hope" is that God will answer my prayers for Jessica ..." and that He did.
ReplyDeleteOur hope does not disappoint. Our God is an awesome God and worthy of praise!
Our hope is that He continues to answer our prayers for a full and permanent recovery for Jessica and that you will all be reunited soon!
Amazing!! Simply Amazing. God is truly Amazing! Your story is Amazing! I saw you at your worst in August of 2009. (I wasn't at my best either--having just had shoulder surgery and beginning my physical therapy.) Now look at you. You set the bar high for all of us who get discouraged and lose sight of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is one of my greatest blessings to have met you and your mom, Sarah. What a privilege. Now go out and set the world on fire!!
ReplyDeleteGloria
Thank You Jesus!!! Our God is a loving God. Your faith has brought you home. May he guide you all the way and be with you and your family. So much to be thankful for. God is good, God is great. Jesus Loves You.
ReplyDeleteHere is a great website that explains pacing (for exercise and activity). It is written by a man who had CFS but the concept is the same for RSD recovery.

ReplyDeleteDid Howard Hughes have RSD/CRPS? http://www.intractablepaindisease.com/HowardHughes.pdf
ReplyDeleteCongrats on going back home! I just read about your story for the first time and it really sucks you went through and are going through all that. My sister got lyme disease too a couple years ago and i've been too selfish to even follow up on it with her because i've had alot of my own issues i've been trying to deal with. I'm now reading how serious it can get and i feel like a d-bag. Anyways i'm glad to hear that you're making progress. Staying positive, believing and having patience is the key. I know that you will be back to "normal", lol, in no time. Just dont get impatiant it will not be easy as God knows that you could handle it. Btw, you're cute as f-@k!! I'm praying for you baby!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica -- I just found your blog today through a Google search. I have CRPS Type II (I believe you have Type I?)
ReplyDeleteI am truly amazed at your story. You're so very much of an inspiration to me!
And how coincidental (or not!), your life verse listed at the top of your blog is the very same one I have on mine!
Anyway, I'm now following your blog and can't wait to get an update once you're smoothly settled back in the States.
All the best, Shari
Praise the Lord!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a true miracle!!!
I can not wait to meet you both in person. It was nice to chat (meet) on skype but being with you in person will rule.
The sun is shining bright here in Naples as I pray for your safe return home. WOW,HOME....that must sound devine to you. Jodi

ReplyDeleteIf you never felt pain, then how would you know that I am a Healer?
If you never had to pray, How would you know that I am a Deliverer?
If you never had a trial, How could you call yourself an overcomer?
If you never felt sadness, How would you know that I am a Comforter?
If you never made a mistake, How would you know that I am a forgiver?
If you knew all, How would you know that I will answer your questions?
If you never were in trouble, How would you know that I will come to your rescue
If you never were broken, Then how would you know that I can make you whole?
If you never had a problem,How would you know that I can solve them?
If you never had any suffering, Then how would you know what I went through?
If you never went through the fire, Then how would you become pure?
If I gave you all things, How would you appreciate them?
If I never corrected you, How would you know that I love you?
If you had all power, Then how would you learn to depend on me?
If your life was perfect, Then what would you need me for?
Love Jesus
i absolutely know where you're getting at jessica, regarding the health care/medical care misconception that big companies are spreading around. i really hope you get well soon. i am researching about these issues because i have more time for this now i am working online selling import and export goods on ebay and amazon.com please keep it up and get well soon.
