He Is A Miracle Maker

We headed to the hospital for Kevin and Heather’s emergency C-section on Friday, March 20. When we got there, I had to stay in the waiting area with all of their luggage. I found me a place to sit with another family. They looked friendly so I plopped down to sit with them. Most of you that know me, know that I am not a shy person. I asked them if they were having a baby that day and awaiting the arrival of their new little one. They replied with “our baby was born on Monday in Athens, GA and was stillborn.”

Of course in my mind I am thinking “well if the baby was stillborn then why are you here.” It never registered that a miracle could have been performed. The new grandmother kept on with her story and let me know what all had gone on. The mother had to have an emergency C-section after she arrived the hospital. She started hemorrhaging and they had to get the baby out. When they delivered him, the umbilical chord had been ruptured. He lost all of his blood in his body. He was born DEAD! They began to work with him, giving him blood transfusions and much more. Of course I am sitting on the edge of the seat by now. I want to know if their baby is still living.

Let me just tell you…..HE IS! Do you know what this did for me? It revealed to me that God is the same as He was back in the Bible days. He raised the dead then and He raised the dead that day. That baby is a miracle! He was raised from the dead. How can we say that God has changed? He promised that He would never change. He is the same yesterday, today and forever!  What a miracle!!!!!!! God strengthened my faith through that family. I shared with them about our ordeal with Caleb being born early. I told them that what they didn’t allow to break them would only make them stronger.

I would love for you to share your miracles with us. Let us know what God has performed in your life. He is a miracle maker!

    Dear New Desire,
    This past Saturday I had the pleasure of seeing the Robertson family for the first time. Then on Sunday hearing God through Bro. Dan. What a blessing it was. I’m already looking forward to seeing you all on Sept. 12.

    Now let me tell you about our miracle. Actually we have had a few but the one I want to tell you about it our son, Chris. He was just finishing his second year at UK. He was engaged to his high school sweetheart. Everything was going just as he had planned. On May 25, 2001 he was in a car accident. He had sever head injuries. The Doctors told us IF he lives he will be nothing more than a vegetable. Me, being a Mom was not going to accept this. I know that God could heal him and that’s what I wanted to happen. At this point I didn’t ask God what His well was for my son. I just knew what I wanted. He was in the hospital for several months and then he went into rehab. Up until now my husband, myself or Chris’ girlfriend had been with him around the clock. He went by ambulance to the rehab, we followed behind. We got him settled in and it was time for us to go. See we lived four hours from Lexington, which was where the rehab was at, and this would be the first time we were leaving him by himself. At this point he could not talk or respond in any way, You know that vegetable thing they kept telling us about. I began to pray there by his bedside, not wanting to leave him, when God spoke to me. He told me He would be right there with him and that He would heal him.
    After 9 months Chris went into a nursing home because they said there was nothing else they could do. At this time Chris could blink once for yes and twice for no. We felt that he could understand what we were saying. The nursing home was about a 45 minute drive from us so my husband and I was there at least twice a day. Chris was in there for about a year. But this mother was not giving up on him. With some help we found a rehab in Louisville that would take him (31/2 hrs away) but only if we were planning on bring him home after his stay there. We were nervous about this because Chris has to have total care. He is feed through a feeding tube, he has to be changed and He would have to be turned every two hours. God kept telling us that we were not alone and He would see us through this.
    Bringing him home was the best thing we could ever have done for him and us. While we were at Louisville, I made sure they also trained me so that I would be equipped to handle him.
    We’ve had many struggles but God has always seen us through. Like when his girlfriend came by to tell us she was dating again and then we she came by to tell us she was getting marred. God is faithful, He has taught us that it didn’t matter what plans we had for Chris or what plans Chris had for his self that God has a plan for Chris’ life and it is far greater than we could imagine.
    Chris is slowly improving with each day. On a Saturday night the 7th anniversary of Chris’ accident, Chris sung Amazing Grace. He sung at Church the next day. He has been singing and talking ever since. He still struggles with getting words out but he can now tell us when he is hot or cold, if he is hurting, if he is ready to go to bed or ready to get up. We know God is going to completely heal Chris someday and we are trying to wait on the Lord for His timing because His timing is perfect. There are many verses in the God’s word that has brought me comfort and peace through all of this but the one that I hold to is Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you.” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.

    Our future is in Him and in Him we are made whole.

    May God bless you and may He continue to use you to bless others. Please keep Chris in your prayers and us as we care for him. We serve a God of miracles!!! Praise God!!!!!

  2. Beverly posted on April 16th, 2009 at 2:08 pm Let me tell you about my little miricle. First off a little about myself.. I was not in the best relationship at the time and I was pregnant, single and scared to death about what God wanted me to do with my life since I had messed up so bad I thought. I was living in Nashville TN at the time and I was at a routine 6 month check up when my blood pressure was up and my dr had me monitored and then sent home on bed rest. I did just that. This was on a Thursday night in March of 2004. I stayed in bed from Thursday night to Saturday night. My bp was not going down it was staying up so I went in to the hospital for closer watch on Saturday night. On Sunday I was transferred to Baptist Hospital in Nashville TN. they had a better NICU in case of having to deliver me we wanted the best care for the baby and myself. So we later find out that afternoon that I do have Pre Eclampsia. My body was shutting down and the only way to stop it was to deliver my baby at 26 weeks. On Monday March 8, 2004 the ultrasound revealed blood flow in but not out for the baby. So at 4:30 PM my sweet Ethan was born. He weighed in at a whopping 1 pound 7 oz. and was 12 1/2 inches long. He lost to 1 lb 3 oz before he started gaining any weight. We were given a 50% chance of living with many complications he would face. In the mean time everyone was praying for God to do a miricle for me and for little Ethan. He had a long road to go. He spent 2 1/2 months in the hospital with only minor complications (Actually came home earlier than we thought). He was only on breathing machines for one day and then on to oxygen. No INFECTIONS the whole time in the NICU. I was told this was a miricle in itself by one of the nurses there. He did have 2 surgeries his first year but went thru those very well. He is now 5 yrs old about to start kindergarten next year and so very smart! You would never know that he was a premie. God is so good! He took care of me and him! The whole time Ethan was in NICU we prayed over him every day and had people praying all around the world I was told from my friend who’s husband was in the military at that time that she had sent an email to all the friends around the world and that people in almost every country were praying for us! God is truly a miricle worker! We are truly blessed!

  3. Brooke posted on April 15th, 2009 at 8:48 am Many of you may have read my post above site about the baby that we came to know while Kevin and Heather were at the hospital. His name is Caden. He was still-born and is now alive, but he is fighting for his life. We need you to pray for his family. The doctors have decided to take him off of the ventilator today. Whatever happens….happens. Please join us in prayer for this family. This has to be very hard for them. We are still believing in another miracle for little Caden. God is still working and He has a plan. Thank you for your prayers. In Christ, Brooke

  4. Amy Marquiss posted on April 10th, 2009 at 5:37 pm I honestly believe I have had many miracles in my 42 years. One that comes to mind happened Memorial Day weekend 2008. I had photographed a wedding on Friday night and on Saturday I had a big family picture to take down in Hodges. Anyhow that morning I got up and unloaded my car from the previous evening, loaded my cameras up in two different bags and got ready to leave. I had gotten my new car in February, It was one that I had wanted for a while, a two door chevrolet Cobalt coupe and it was Cobalt Blue. As I was getting ready to back out of the driveway my husband said “you know this car would have been perfect if it was a straight shift and had a sunroof”, but they had made us such a good deal we couldn’t refuse so we settled for it without those options. I put my car in reverse and started backing out when he hollered and said “put on your seatbelt, cops will be out today”. So I did as I knew he would watch until he saw me do it. It was unusually hot for May and it was around 9:45am. I was talking to my mom through my bluetooth and my phone is flat so I had it against the steering wheel. Both sides of the road had a drop off however the one on the left was more than the one on the right. All of a sudden from nowhere a deer landed right in front of me and I slammed on my brakes. In my mind I knew it was probably going to mess my car up but other than that everything would be fine. All of sudden my steering was gone and my car went to the right, I was headed straight down the ravine, once again I thought my car is going to be really messed up but all is good. No sooner did I get that thought out of my head when my car changed it’s mind and started to roll. I for one do not like rides, when I ride a roller coaster I hang on for dear life and scream the entire time. This was no different, I screamed, everything went black but I think that may be because I had my eyes shut and I held on for dear life. My car rolled 4 or 5 times and landed upside down. Everything in my car was thrown out except for me and my cellphone. Remember I was talking to mom, she heard all of the screaming and breaking glass and then silence. She heard me say faintly that I was hurt and then the phone went dead. I screamed for help but no one came so I unbuckled my belt, crawled out of the window, blood was pouring out of my head and had cell phone in hand. Once I got out of the car I called 911 and started climbing up the hill before getting a little light headed so I sat down and waited for the ambulance. My head actually came out of my driver side door and I cut the right side of my head in the top of my door. My hair and flesh was still stuck in the top of the door. The roof was flat except where I was sitting, had anyone been with me it would have killed them. Every window was broken out and the only place without a dent was the very center of my front-end. They say that is why my airbags did not deploy. I later found out that when I put my breaks on the left front tire broke in half at the axle and that is what caused my steering to quit and my car to go down the ravine. Had my husband not have told me to buckle my belt and if God had not been holding me while I was rolling down the hill I wouldn’t be here today. Believe it or not I still use that same camera even though it was laying behind the tail-end of my car on the ground. I had to have 10 staples put in my head and stayed one night in the hospital for observation. I call this my Memorial Day Miracle. Amy

  5. Angel Moore posted on April 10th, 2009 at 5:08 pm Hey yall! My daughter is my WALKING MIRACLE! I had asked my OBGYN if they could do an ultrasound to see how much my baby was gonna weigh. They told me that it would not be that accurate but that we could take a look at her and “make sure she was still a girl.” All of my previous ultrasounds had been normal so we weren’t expecting anything different. I went in that afternoon for my ultrasound and found out that my daughter had Spina Bifida…a birth defect that causes the spine to be underdeveloped and the back does not close up all the way. They also told me that her head was very big…that she had moderate to severe Hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain). My family was in shock. I was actually ok…I had worked for 7 years with preschool children with disabilities and knew about Spina Bifida. The Dr.’s sent me the next day to a specialist and they confirmed the Spina Bifida and the moderate to severe Hydrocephalus. They told me that the lower the Spina Bifida the better. Then they told me that her Spina Bifida that she was going to have would make her confined to a wheel chair and that from the Hydrocephalus that she had that she would be mentally retarded. Well, let me tell you…we were in Revival at Truth Baptist Church in Bremen, GA…Our Church!…and told everyone that we had a prayer request…we asked for everyone to pray for me and my unborn baby. Not to pray that she didn’t have Spina Bifida…but for His Will to be done with Brianah (my baby). Let me tell you about the POWER IN PRAYER! There were people and churches praying in GA, TENN, ALA, FLA, TX, NC, SC. We would be standing in the checkout lane at Wal Mart and be talking to others and someone would say, “Our Church has been praying for you.” How amazing is that! Brianah was born July 29, 2003 by C-section. I knew that she would have to be transffered to Scottish Rite Children’t Hospital in Atlanta, and My doctors worked everything out so that my hospital I delivered her in was right accross the street! When Brianah was born, I was previously told that I wouldn’t be able to see her at all that they were going to take her over immediately, I not only got to see her, but I also got to touch her! They took her over about an hour or so after birth to the Children’t Hospital where her Neurosurgeon closed her spine. We found out after the surgery that her Spina Bifida was lower than we were told and guess what! There were NO sighs of the Hydrocephalus!!! Look what God can do! We were told that she was going to have to stay in the Hospital for 14 days…she went home at 7 days old. She did develop Hydrocephalus and had surgery at 3 weeks old. Her surgery was successful! Oh…remember the ultrasound we had 11 days before she was born…opps forgot to mention it was 11 days before surgery that we found out about the Spina Bifida!!! If the Dr.s hadn’t found the Spina Bifida, we would have had a vaginal birth. That would have done lots of damage to her open spine and made the fluid put even more pressure on her brain that would have caused damage to her brain! Ain’t God Good!!! Brianah is now 5 years old. She is WALKING with the use of braces on her legs and forearm crutches. She has been walking since 13 months old…she started walking with a walker and braces and is now using pink crutches! She started Kindergarten this year….public school at home….basically homeschool…and is working on a 1st grade level…she is NOT mentally retarded….Brianah is my Walking Miracle…Thank You Jesus!!! Thanks for letting me share! Angel and Brianah Moore, Villa Rica, GA

    Hey guys!

    I so very much enjoyed being with you all in North Carolina this week. It was fun and I believe that GOD has something great for His people if we only let Him be in complete control. I’m glad we got to spend some time together. I hated to see the services come to an end, but just because services ended, doesn’t mean that Revival does!

    Mama Brenda, I hope you are feeling better! I know that the devil tried to get you down and keep you from services, but you kept the faith and depended on GOD to be your strength to get you through. On the way home last night, I was thinking about your testimony. I’ve heard it many times, but it never came to me this way until last night. You have been through so much in your life and completely trusted on GOD to get you through, and I got to thinking that all of us, ME ESPECIALLY, are sitting here wasting our lives. There you were, couldn’t move, couldn’t speak, or anything really, but you didn’t waste your life. All these perfectly healthy Christians are sitting around letting people go to Hell because we’re too comfortable in our little box. We have this mindset that “we’re saved and that’s all that matters.” Well, that’s not all that matters. We were all called to be teachers of the Gospel. GOD has given me multiple opportunities to do His service, but I’ve always thought, “well I’ll have another chance.” It just burdens me that you almost lost everything and here I am, with everything at my fingertips and a great testimony and I’m just sitting here doing nothing. I’m no longer going to do nothing! He has given me a chance to be someone and do something in my life, and I’m not going to pass it up this time.

    Dan, aka Daddy:
    You are a great preacher! I love to hear you preach. I know it might sound odd coming from a 19 year old about parents being their child’s friend, but I totally agree with you! That’s what’s wrong with our kids today is that parents want their child to like them. I’ve always been a firm believer that if your child likes you all the time, then you aren’t raising them right! There were plenty of times that I was mad at my parents, but it was because they knew what was best for me. I love you and keep on keeping on!

    I love you all so very much and loved spending time with you guys this week! Enjoy your time at home. Brooke, don’t work to hard! I’ll see you all very soon!

  8. rhonda ragle posted on April 8th, 2009 at 2:42 pm god bless you all. id like to tell you about a miracle god gave me. some call it a gift i call it a miracle. on july 26th 2005 my beloved daddy lost his fight with cancer. he was 67 years young. just five months prior to that i had to bury my mother after her 15 year fight with breast cancer. just 3 months prior to that i lost my 5 month old grandson in a terrible car crash. just 6 months before that i lost my grandmother. so in the time between february of 04 till july of 05 i lost not one but 4 beloved family members. my grandmother my grandson then both my mom and dad. i guess you could say i was ready to crack by the time the day came when my daddy had to go to the hospice house here in bristol tennessee. i had cried so much i didnt think i had another tear in me. my daddy arrived at the hospice house on july 25th at 8 am. daddy had melanomia cancer. it was very agressive cancer he was diagnosed on may 24th of 05 and died on july 26th. thats how fast it got him. daddy had multiple tumors on his brain. doctors said he would get to where he didnt know us. god i prayed please if its your will dont let my daddy get to where he doesnt know me. i was his only daughter and his first child si i was very close to my daddy. i had stayed with my dad and step mother ( my mom and dad had been divorced for years before her death) for 3 days prior to him going to hospice. on sunday night my brother wanted to stay so i went home. all weekend daddy had been talking out of his head but he knew who i was. at one point he started talking as if he was stilled with my mother. i thought oh no. i prayed again god please dont let him not know me. up untill i went home that night he talked like i was still little but he knew me. i left him with his wife and my brother and went home to sleep. at 6 am my brother called and said rhonda were takeing dad to hospice he had a bad night and now he doesnt know who we are. the ambulance is on the way. i will meet u there i said. i live only 15 minutes from the hospice so i beat the ambulance there. i was waiting on him. all that time i prayed so hard please god i couldnt take it if he comes off that ambulance and doesnt know me please god let him know me. i was so sick by the time i saw the ambulance arrive. they unloaded my daddy and there he was sitting up and when i went to him before i ever said a word he said hi honey i thought i was going to work. he had been talking the day before about going to work again. i said do you know me he just laughed and said of course i know you your my daughter rhonda. whats wrong with you. do i know you? your silly now where am i . i told him he was at the hospital. oh he said ok. they took him to his room and then my stepmother and brother arrived and said did u see dad. yes i said and he knew who i was praise god. that was the first miracle. the second came at three in the morning on the 26th. by the way what daddy said to me when he arrived was the last understandable words he spoke. at three that morning after 19 hours of mumbling words no one could understand i was given a moment alone with my dad. no one was in the room the nurse and my stepmother had stepped out for a bit. i was holding my daddy hand with my head by his side. i was so overcome with grief i didnt think i could go on. i was hit with the reality that my daddy my rock the foundation of my world was going home. all of a sudden in the middle of all that mumbling and blabbering i called it i heard him say; hi paul; paul was his beloved younger brother who had died 3 years before right there in that very same hospice house. it was then i knew my daddy was with his family. daddy died at 3 pm that day surrounded by his wife and 4 children and 3 of his step sons and his older brother and 2 sister. god gave me 2 miracles that day and by the grace of god i never lost my mind. i have 5 beaufiful grandchildren a fiance who just proposed to me [the wedding is august 22nd.] i have a job which these days is a miracle in its self. 2 fine sons and one day i will get to see my daddy and mother grandson grandparents aunts and uncles again. god is so good. praise the lord… praise the lord;;;;;;;;;;;;;

  9. Melinda posted on April 7th, 2009 at 10:28 am My miracle started with a prayer answered in obedience at the 2006 Women’s Conference. In 2004 my husband and I lost our first son at 22 weeks gestation. After a week’s stay in the hospital our tiny little boy was born living only 30 minutes, too tiny to make it on his own. I awoke from surgery to see my husband rocking his lifeless body. On that day my sister gave me a cross necklace with Shelton’s birthstone embedded in the center. I wore that necklace, never taking it off, for two years. In 2005 we moved from MO to KY. I had struggled with fertility even before I was pregnant with Shelton and we knew it would be a struggle again. In January of 2006 God moved us from one church to another. It was there that I was invited to join the Women’s ministry to go to Alabama for the Women’s Conference. At this point in time I had tried another round of fertility drugs when my husband was tested and we were informed that in order to be successful we were going to have to do a more extensive procedure. My husband and I decided that with the money we would spend trying to get pregnant again we could invest in adoption. It would afterall be a third generation adoption – my husband and his mother are also adopted. I left to go to the conference with this decision weighing on my heart. On Friday night of the conference, during the break, I was sitting by myself in the pew, my heart heavy when all of a sudden I heard a voice say, “give the necklace to Brenda.” Startled I just sat there..”give the necklace to Brenda,” it repeated. I realized that for the first time in a long time I was hearing the voice of God! I sat there bewildered. How could I give this complete stranger the most important thing in my life? That night I talked to my group about it. Of course, the obvious response was you must do it and be obedient. So the next day I wrote Brenda a note explaining the significance of the necklace, wrapped the necklace up and at lunch I gave it to one of her attendants. I went home from that conference with peace that I had never known before. 7 weeks later Brenda came to our town for a conference – I was 6 weeks pregnant! Brenda gave me back my necklace, in obedience of God. I put it in my jewelry box and have never had it on again. But the real miracle was in the birth of my son. He was born weighing just 1lb 14oz at 26 weeks gestation. We spent 88 days in the NICU. He never had a surgery and continually proved the Dr.s wrong over and over again. We brought him home on oxygen and feeding tube at halloween and by Christmas he was done with those. Today he is a happy, healthy, beautiful, right on target 20 month old little boy! He will forever be a reminder of what God can do when you are obedient to his will!

      melinda,
      isnt it something when God proves the doctors wrong, he proved it with our daughter when she had problems after her surgery when she was a baby. Today she is 19 yes we have a lot of bumps in the road she has a learning disability and has the mind of a kid but God is so good. But the sad thing about it was that my husband and I wasnt in church at that time,, we werent even saved and didnt get saved till couple years ago, so now I am seeing how the Lord has blessed our situation. I didnt realize it till after I got saved, I knew she was special but now I know she is special in Gods eyes. And I know that he will take care of her, tomorrow she is having career day at a local college and knowing that she cant go to college does bother me but I am learning to deal with that each day and although it is hard I am getting better with it. The Lord has her in his hands, and I thank the Lord he has entered our home cause I dont know where we would be if we hadnt got saved. God is so good!!!!

    My husband and I were married in 1992. In 1993, I was told that I would never have children. I was DEVASTATED…to say the least. Children are my life!! I have always been around kids…teaching Sunday School, Children’s Church…I have lots of neices and nephews that I have kept through the years. I couldn’t understand just why this was happening to me. In 2002, we sought the advice of a fertility specialist. In June of that year, we found out that we were expecting a MIRACLE. I was indeed pregnant. On August 3rd, I lost that baby. I just couldn’t understand why? I know that we are not supposed to know everything about God’s plan, but this was just something that I had to figure out. We took a break from the fertility treatments in December of that year. My mother-in-law was very sick and we were taking care of her and my father-in-law. Ever since I married her son, she had wanted us to have her a grandchild. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that I couldn’t conceive. After the miscarrage, she realized how badly we wanted a child. My husband’s only sibling, his brother, had two children, and both of my sisters had three kids each. In February of 2003, I was standing by my mother-in-law’s hospital bed, holding her hand and know that she would soon step out of this life and into heaven. In the middle of the night, while my hubby and I were staying with her, I was praying and I was just so overcome with the desire of a child. I had wrestled with the grief of losing that baby six months before until I just couldn’t take another disappointment. My heart was heavy as I prayed, “Lord, all I ever wanted to do was give her just one little grandchild that she could hold and love.”….He replied to me…”YOU DID…SHE WILL SEE YOUR FIRST CHILD BEFORE YOU DO”……I know that sounds “way out there”, but that is how it happened. PEACE LIKE A RIVER filled that room that night. I was healed of the grieving that I was suffering from. When my husband came into the room, he stopped at the door and said…”What happened in here?” For the next few days, everyone that came in the room could feel that peace…you know, the one that passes all of our understanding…Betty went on to be with Lord…and hold our child until we get there…but, that is not the end. Two weeks later, while I was at work, the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me again…He said, “I AM ABOUT TO GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART” One month later, we found out we were expecting our second MIRACLE!!! She is five now, and her little brother is three……How precious is our Lord you may ask?…….He has given back to us…pressed down, shaken together and running over!!!

    My house is never clean…toys find their way into every room…little shoes are found hiding under couches and beds…and fingerprints are on almost every window…..does this bother me….I have to admit that sometimes, I am overwhelmed with the neverending “messes” that come with children…but, to me, they are signs of unending love from the Father…mercy that I didn’t deserve…precious little “miracle messes” that God has so richly blessed our home with……praise be unto HIS name!!!

  11. ann posted on April 6th, 2009 at 5:53 pm MY MIRACLE IS MY DAUGHTER KAYLA, SHE IS SO SPECIAL AND SHE JUST BRIGHTENS UP THE ROOM WHEN SHE WALKS IN. WHEN SHE WAS BORN IN FEB.1990. WE THOUGHT SHE WAS A HEALTHLY BABY GIRL BUT WHEN WE TOOK HER FOR HER CHECKUP WE FOUND OUT DIFFERENT. SHE HAD 2 HOLES IN HER HEART AND A VALVE THAT WAS WORKING PROPERLY THEY TOLD US SHE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY SOON. SHE HAD SURGERY ON AUGUST 2, 1991 SHE WAS 17 HALF MONTHS OLD THEY TOLD US A WEEK TOPS AT THE HOSPITAL BOY WERE THEY WRONG, WE WERE THERE 6 WEEKS. THE SURGERY WENT WELL BUT AFTER SURGERY HER HEART JUMPED TO NEAR 300 SHE ALMOST DIED I DONT SEE HOW SHE COULD LIVE WITH THAT HIGH BUT ANYHOW IT PUT HER HEART INTO SOME KIND OF JUNCTION ITS BEEN SO LONG CANT REMEMBER THE CORRECT WORDS BUT IT WAS BAD THEY SAID SHE CANT CONTINUE LIKE THAT THEY HAD TO KEEP HER IN A COMA WE COULDNT TALK TO HER TO HER OR TOUCH HER ALL WE COULD DO IS LOOK AT HER WHEN WE DID TOUCH OR TALK TO HER ALL THAT WOULD ACT UP HER HEART RATE AND BLOOD PRESSURE SO THEY KEPT HER IN COMA FOR 3 IN A HALF WEEKS. THEN THEY PUT HER IN A ROOM THAT AT THAT TIME SOMEONE HAD TO STAY UP 24 7 TO KEEP CHECK ON THE NUMBERS AND IF THEY GOT ABOVE A CERTAIN NUMBER HAD TO GET THE NURSE. WHEN SHE WAS IN THE COMA THEY TOLD US IT WAS LEFT UP TO GOD THAT THEY DONE ALL THAT THEY COULD DO FOR HER AND GLORY TO GOD WE CAME HOME IN 6 WEEKS THAT WAS THE LONGEST TIME IN MY LIFE THEY TOLD US THAT WE WOULD HAVE A LONG ROAD AHEAD AND WE HAVE. BEING IN THE COMA HAS CAUSED BRAIN DAMAGE SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH FROM KIDS MAKING FUN TO JUST EVERYTHING ELSE THAT LIFE THROWS AT US. TODAY SHE IS A 19 OLD SENIOR THAT IS BEAUTIFUL AND FULL OF LIFE, SHE WON PROM QUEEN AT HER PROM. SHE WILL NOT GET A DIPLOMA WHEN SHE GRADUATES IN MAY BUT THE LORD WILL TAKE CARE OF HER. HE LEFT HER WITH ME FOR A SPECIAL REASON AND I AM BEGINNING TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH IT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. I STILL WONDER WHY CANT SHE BE NORMAL BUT THE LORD BLESSED ME WITH A WONDERFUL AND CARING DAUGHTER, SHE LOVES EVERYBODY AND HAS A SMILE ALL THE TIME. ALTHOUGH HER MIND ONLY IS ABOUT A 11 MAYBE 12 YEAR OLD SHE HAS ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH IN HER LIFE AND I AM VERY PROUD OF HER, SO SHE IS MY MIRACLE. AND I AM VERY BLESSED TO HAVE HER. I KNOW THAT THE LORD HAS SPECIAL PLANS FOR HER.

  12. Michelle posted on April 6th, 2009 at 3:38 pm One of my miracles was my father. In 1992 on October 13th my father had an abdominal aortic anurism(which is and anurisum in the stomach) that ruptured. He was at home with my mother. That day he had been on a lake near their home on a boat by himself. The weekend before they were at a festival and a man had a heartattack and my mom called the ambulance( before 911). She remebered the phone # for the ambulance and called. They lived in the NC mountains and the hospital near them was very very small. The sherriff had to escort the ambulance to my parents house ( he was a friend of my dad’s and knew where they lived). On the way to the hospital the doctor on call diagnosed my dad’s problem over the phone with the emt. They took daddy straight in to surgery and the anurisum had ruptured in a way were the lining of the abdomine held pressure and my dad didn’t bleed to death. There were several problems resulting from this but God kept him going. For a while his left leg was paralized. The docotrs said he would always need a wheel chair. In a year and a half my dad was walking with only a cane. His kidneys quit and on New Years Day of ‘93 he called me and said he had peed. Those were precious words. Cancer finally took him home to God in January of 1998. We had Daddy for 5 1/2 years more than we were supposed to. I could tell you of many more but if we keep our eyes open we could witness miracles everyday. Your Sister, Michelle

    1. Michelle posted on April 6th, 2009 at 7:19 pm I have to add a P.S. to my earlier miracle. It is my GRANDAUGHTER! She was born a month early and there could have been so many complications but there wasn’t. The whole time we could see God’s hand protecting her and my daughter. Grace is so precious to us and it was God’s grace that brought us all thru. Her smile will light up the room. I know God has great plans for her. Like those boulders we are under sometimes seem like they will crush us God is there to carry the load. We just have to let Him! Your sister, Michelle
