Amazing what the prayer of the faithful and righteous does (James 5:16).
The Lord is encouraging all the believers to pray and have faith.
They disconnected Kellie’s tubes from the vacuum suction. PTL. She is doing much better. Her Lung is no longer leaking ! Amazing ! The Lord has answered all the prayers. We are excited. She sends her love to all of you and a special message ” Please, please storm the heaven’s for God’s breath to keep my lung inflated. How I love you and covet your prayers – Kellie. – He Himself gives all men life and breath and everything else – Acts 17:25″. Thank you Jesus!!
From my end also I have nothing but good news. I am telling you the Lord is encouraging us all to pray and have faith. My donor has passed all the required tests and committed to giving their Stem Cells on Oct 17th. Accordingly, I have been officially scheduled to be admitted to MDA on Oct 11th. I will undergo 5 days of harsh Chemo, which will deplete my bone marrow from my own Stem Cells. Once done, my immunity system will be non-existent and my Stem Cells would have vanished. At that time, I will be given the Stem Cells of my donor … and voila, an official human oil, I mean, blood change. I will get new Stem Cells and the blood type of my Donor. Wow. The good news is that I do not have to change it every 3,500 miles. It should be good for a lifetime. PTL !
I wish I could share with you all the miracles we have faced to date. One day I will. The Lord has been amazing. Every day, every moment, every second. What an awesome God we serve. All of the fervent prayers are being heard and answered. I cannot thank you enough.
Psalm 30:11
You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy.

My eyes are filled with tears of joy for what the Lord is doing not only in your life but in mine too. As I pray for you and the entire family each day, I ask Him to strengthen my faith and heal my soul from all spiritual diseases . and Let me tell you The way He is Healing you and strengthening you He is doing the same in my life. He promised that He will give us nore than we deserve or ever imagine… What a great God we serve and love
Love you samsoum, Jaco, Wadad, Jeanette and Samir and cannot wait till the day that I can come visit and rejoice with you.
oh, nothing but good news, this is so rejoicing…God is really good…and as i previously said to u: he has chosen u for a special plan, because u r so special….we are learning from u in this journey, thank u Lord, thank u sami! 🙂 bisous
You faced no miracles Sami, that was normal. Miracles mean something impossible or unexpected as per our understanding. We have a believe that God willing surpasses all understanding, and He will never leave you or forsake you. He did and will do on Oct 17th and all the time later. God bless you
Praise God! Hugs to you and the family.
Sami we are sharing every word, every prayer, and you need first to thank yourself, thank you for teaching us ! Love Jouhaina. tu es dans mes prières.

A picture perfect story…. PTL.
Love you Samsoum.
Very glad your friend is doing better. May God heal her quickly and thoroughly.
Praying for you sweet friend and encouraged by your faith.

اهلاً استاذ سامي
اولاُ : انا متواصل معكم لكن لا استطيع الجلوس اكثر حتى اكتب لك رسالة
اليوم لدي القليل من الوقت قبل ان اذهب لاكمال العمل الخاص بي
استاذ سامي انت قوي ونحن نعلم والله يعلم ذلك لولا يعلم لما كانت لك كل هذة المعجزات واتمنى لك الشفاء العاجل والعودة الى العائلة الحمد لله على كل حال وسبحانة مغير الاحوال من حال الى حال .
اتمنى اجابتي لكي يطمئن قلبي
يحياتي
Hey .. I was just talking to one of my friends about you.. (sorry) .. Just remebered the verse Luke 22:31-32
New International Version – UK (NIVUK)
31 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat.
32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.
It is very clear, Jesus didnt Pray to remove Peter from the temptation HE simply allowed it to go through, asked for strength.. So that When (Not IF),When Peter comes back he can strengthen the brothers. So Sami, you are already strenghthening us .. Waiting for you to Strengthen us even more WHEN you come BACK.. 🙂
My beloved…. U still have the power to crack me up. I’m not sure if u’re sick at all. You maybe more well than the rest of us!!! Glad to hear the good news on both fronts. Love you man!! 🙂
حبيبي وأخي العزيز سامي
ربي يشفيك وترجعلنا في أقرب فرصه ويشفي كمان أختنا كيلي
دعائي لكما أنتما الأثنين أن يتم الله نعمته عليكما بالشفاء العاجل أنه سميع مجيب الدعاء
بس على فكره لساتك دمك زي العسل ياااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااا عسل وأحلى من العسل
i completely agree with Teddy and Oday; u r “zai el 3assal” and u r “well than the rest of us”…As i said previously/: u r just…a blessed and a crazy family!” 🙂 bisous bisous
Thank you Sami for the good news hoping that it will only be upway from now.

Sami that is great news. I am so glad to hear the good news. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
Sami, all the CrossTalk community will be praying for you. Your faith has increased ours. Charles Malik says that faith is the only thing when shared it increases. All other things decrease when shared.
