GOD IS ALWAYS, ALWAYS IN CONTROL ! YOU HAVE TO LOVE THAT FACT!
You were honest with me and I am going to be honest with you. 🙂
Here is the honest truth, I am sharing it among my beloved blogworldcommentators and readers.
As a believer, ONE DAY, you might reach a point where you will find yourself at a hard, very hard cross-road. You will have to make a serious decision. Jeremiah 6:16 – the good path might not be that clear. In my case I found that the hardest path was the blessed path, with tears in my eyes and pleading in my heart, I asked the Lord for his guidance … and He responded with a plethora of answers through physicians, blog active members, family, believers and friends …
In my case, I woke up and found myself a handicap. Believe me the options I had were to throw in the towel, just take it like it is or take a deep breath, que sera sera, remember your creator, remember that you believe IN A GOD THAT IS IN FULL CONTROL AND ACCEPT the challenge from HIS hand. LORD I ACCEPT IT FROM YOUR HAND. LETS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s what I did.
I would like to close with this miracle.
Below is a medical memo that was passed among physician concerning one of the evenings when the Lord was closely holding me to his side, the physician … not reaching much, and the believers fervently praying !!!!!!
A couple of weeks ago a physician was examining me and noticed that I was no responding. He checked my legs and noticed I was bleeding all over. my stool was running and was full of blood. I was taken to ICU and the set of x-rays taken showed my LUNGS FULL OF BLOOD (refer to image one) The physician was very apologetic and told Issam and the family that there is nothing much he could do. The next day the x-rays showed my LUNGS FULLY CLEAR OF ANY FLUIDS AND VERY HEALTHY. The same physician and many others were amazed, everyone was in awe. It was A MIRACLE CONFIRMED BY ALL !!! PRAISE THE LORD … MY JOURNEY CONTINUES …
++++++
” Today a lung expert evaluated Sami. He called me in amazement as to what has happened between March 5th and 6th in the ICU. He told me that he has never seen anything like this, and that this was a real miracle. Attached are copies of the X-rays before (March 5th) and after (March 6th). On the March 5th X-ray you see a white lung suggestive of a massive bleed / pneumonia on March 6th, you see clear lungs. The lung expert was amazed but after all the prayers, I was not. Praise the Lord. ”

Sami Lahoud 
Samsoum, ya Habib Albe ente!
Miracles happens to those who believes in Him, and His power… No one does believe more than you ya Samsoum.
Happy Easter, I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.
Amen!!!
Sami, Happy Easter to you and your family. Alleluia! Praise God!
Happy Easter to you Sami and welcome back. We have seen God’s hand move in a special way to touch you and bring you back from the edge of death and I am a Witness for that.
Thank God for He is alive and able. He defeated death and with that we are able to live with no fear of physical death or separation from him.
Sami, God has blessed you with an amazing Godly wife. Her faith, peace, smile and thankful heart during the last few weeks show another miracle and testifies to the presence of God’s spirit in his children. i can tell you that when most of us were shaken and preplexed with the news about your health, her faith stood fast and she gave us the strength to keep praying and holding to God’s promises.
We love you and will continue to pray for complete healing and strength
Praise the Lord!
Sami! Thank you for writing so candidly and honestly about your struggles! Thank you for writing this particular entry on Easter Day!! This is SO meaningful!!! Christ has risen, defeating death, removing its sting! Your words here show so clearly the victory you have in Christ! Sami, your transparency and the openness with which you’ve been sharing your journey with us are awe inspiring and model so clearly how faith can practically be lived by a child of God’s.
The x-rays are amazing, they are nothing absolutely nothing less than a miracle!! Such fast and complete resolution of such bleeding in a mere day….thank you, Lord!! Yes, He still does miracles and we are keeping on praying!
We love you so much, Sami! Yes: God is always, always in control, habibi.
Praise Him… 🙂
Praise God for his healing touch. I pray that he will completely heal you in a miraculous way.
I pray that you will continue to feel the loving presence of God’s Holy Spirit every minute of every day.
Sami, Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us. I admit that I did not respond to your last post because I just didn’t know what to say. I cannot even imagine how you must feel in the situation you are in. Yet, I know that God strengthens you and gives you peace that passes understanding, and it is so touching to see that in you and in your wife and children. Thank you for showing us how absolutely AMAZING God is!!! As I read this entry today, God immediately struck me with a beautiful picture, and I cannot get it out of my head. When I see that clear xray next to that awful one (and I know nothing and can tell that one is awful), God brings me back to that moment when He created Adam from the dust of the earth. Forgive me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that you must have days now where you physically feel more like dust than a man at times. Yet, God took that dust, formed it into a man, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. That clear xray looks to me like God breathed into your nostrils the breath of life! I love this picture of Adam. As I tell my second graders, it is hard to breathe into someone’s nostrils from far away. I picture God not high above the heavens when He created Adam, not across the garden, but right there in Adam’s face. To breathe in his nostrils, He had to be CLOSE! I picture the first thing Adam seeing after God breathes into his nostrils being the face of God. Oh, what a moment that must have been! Sami, God is SO CLOSE to you! He was close enough to breathe into you the breath of life and heal your lungs! He loves you so very much, sweet friend. You may sometimes feel like dust, but God is forming you into the man He designed you to be, He is CLOSE, and He is breathing LIFE into you at this very moment! We continue to pray for His healing and for His power to be made perfect in your weakness. Thank you for your honesty. Much love from our family to you and yours!
Ephesians 3:20-21
“God IS ABLE to do FAR MORE than we could ever ASK for or IMAGINE.
He does everything by His POWER that is working in us.
Give Him GLORY in the church and in Christ Jesus.
Give Him glory through all time and for ever and ever. Amen.”
Dearest Sami,
I’m so thankful for His love for you. I know this is difficult and cannot imagine going through this. However, we have a Mighty God who can do all things and He has His plan for you. I will continue to pray (with all of your prayer warriors) for complete healing. And I will give thanks for being able to witness such grace and faith. You are such a blessing to all of us. Please know you are dearly loved.
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, operil, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:31-39
Blessings,
Trudi
No matter what physical ability you lost for now, no one could ever call you handicapped. Thanks for sharing the miracle of your lungs. Now I can add to my list when teaching. Feeding of the 5,000, walking on water, raising of the dead, and clear lungs. Jodi

Sami – What better day could your note have been sent and read on; Easter Sunday, the day we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ our Lord. He has Risen Indeed…
PTL as u say habibi……who can say it better than the Psalmest in Psalm 121
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills– where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.3 He will not let your foot slip– he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD watches over you– the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD will keep you from all harm– he will watch over your life; 8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore

PTL!!! I love how God is so gracious as to even “give PROOF” to the medical team 🙂 As your legs grow stronger, continue to remember your favorite scripture from your Grandmother…”Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He WILL DIRECT YOUR STEPS!” (Prov. 3:5-6) We continue to THANK GOD for ALL His goodness and faithfulness! Your testimony is one for the devil to FEAR 🙂 We love yall!!!
Sami and Jacqueline and family – you are in my thoughts always. Stay strong in faith! All my love

God will never leave or forsake you. He will comfort you and always be there for you. I can tell you already know this but sometimes a reminder is helpful. I hope he will continue to be your guide and comfort.
