Monday Musings~Miracles

Do you believe in miracles? I do. I believe in tiny little miracles and huge astronomical miracles. I believe in a mighty God who does great and miraculous things EVERYDAY. Sometimes we are just too busy or blinded to see the magnificence! I witnessed a miracle last week and thought I'd share it with you.

I was sent an email asking that I pray. You see, there was a sweet little five year old girl who was taken to the hospital by her parents because of flu-like symptoms. However, when they got there the family received the grim news...brain cancer. She was given 5 years to live MAX. The doctors had to run some tests to be sure but this seemed her fate. The family is best friends with a girlfriend of mine here and I couldn't imagine the fear and heart attach all were experiencing. So, I got on my knees and prayed, and prayed, and prayed. I prayed for a miracle.

I waited and waited to hear some news. Finally, almost a week later I received another email. Turns out it was NOT brain cancer at all but a very common form of pediatric cancer that is VERY treatable. This precious child will not endure chemotherapy and will live a very happy and normal life! Praise God!

Now if that is not a miracle I don't know what is. I know and believe with all my heart that the prognosis for this child was changed by the power of prayer! Although the news does not always turn out this wonderfully, I rejoice in this miracle! Have you experienced a miracle today? I bet you have. Slow down...you will see it!

"I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord; Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:13-14

All things are possible through Him. I am glad that the outcome was so much better. I will keep this family in my prayers.

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil...

Grady's Story

Grady Steven Fish 7lbs. 3oz. 19 1/2inches April 25, 2009 4:45pm SURPRISE! Actually, I think absolute shock is more appropriate! This was me a week ago...happy at 36 weeks pregnant with not much happening. I thought for sure that I had at least 2 weeks left, if not four. I did, however, frantically run around town that day getting all the things I thought I needed to get just in case. Good thing I am a little neurotic and OCD because it paid off a few days later. I have had contractions on and off since I was 25 weeks pregnant or so. I never thought anything of them because they were so sporadic and fairly painless. Friday camearound and I noticed that I was having more contractions than usual. Grady was still moving about so I didn't worry much. Around 2:30pm that day I laid down because the contractions were coming on a little stronger and closer together. I called Scott to let him know and honestly, to see when he was coming home from work. Jackson was still napping and I wasn...
