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. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
