Do you Believe in Miracles?

I do. I believe that God still performs and works miracles in today's age.  Sometimes they are small and may go unnoticed by most.  But I feel that I am one of God's walking miracles

After my surgery in 2007 the doctor's told my dad, brother and husband out in the hospital waiting room that if the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes they would have given me maybe 3-4 years to live tops.  Those doctors were fully expecting to find that the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes because of how big the tumor was and how advanced the cancer was.  I was diagnosed at Stage 3.

I remember receiving a telephone call in my hospital room the evening after my surgery and it was from the nurse who had assisted during my surgery.  He told me that he was out celebrating with his friends on my behalf because he never would have expected to get the incredible results that they received after testing the lymph nodes.  He also knew that I was a brand new mother and that I needed to hear that a miracle had been performed.  I have no idea if that nurse was a Christian or not, but he understood what he had seen, heard and witnessed. 

I did not know what my family had been told out in that waiting room until quite a few weeks later.  They didn't feel it was necessary to tell me and worry me until we absolutely knew that we were on the right track toward getting rid of this horrible cancer.  When they told me that news I sat in shock and then tears streamed down my face as I looked at my little newborn boy thinking about how much I would have missed out on in his life as his mommy.

I am begging and pleading with you today to join with me in prayer for two situations.  They both need a miracle.  And I believe that God will perform them if it is meant to be.

My friend Stacy is currently 26 weeks pregnant.  She and her husband Jon just found out that their baby boy is in heart failure.  It is too early to deliver him as his little heart is too small and too weak.  But doctors fear that his situation is only going to worsen.  Do you believe in Miracles? Stacy and Jon are Christians who do.  Please pray for them and their little boy.

Jimm's cousin, Michelle and her husband John are the parents of six children.  They live in southern Illinois and John was recently transferred down to St. Louis after doctor's found a large tumor on his frontal lobe.  They are completing a detailed MRI today to find out what course of treatment will be needed and if the tumor is, in fact, malignant.  Michelle is with John in St. Louis and Michelle's parents (Jimm's aunt and uncle) are now down in southern Illinois taking care of the six children.  Please pray for John, Michelle and the entire family as they go through these tests and are presented with information and treatment options.  Pray for a MIRACLE for this family.  Michelle and John are also Christians and I know that they believe in miracles.

A miracle often denotes an event attributed to divine intervention. -Wikipedia.
