GOD IS GOOD-- MIRACLES HAPPEN!

I AM BLOWN AWAY BY HIS FAITHFULNESS AND GOODNESS! And to be quite honest with you, I've been wanting to see Him work in a situation that is close to me so I can bear more witness to His Kingdom with my personal experience.

Last night at LG, all of us were given some disturbing news. A dear friend's niece had fallen into a jacuzzi for numerous minutes and was motionless. She was taken to the hospital and given a very bleak diagnosis-- basically guaranteed brain damage of some kind and no guarantees of coming out of her coma (from what I understood). On top of that there may have been water in her brain and lungs.

Well as a group we prayed for this little girl (Hailey)-- passionately and pleading with the Lord. Mid-way through LG we received a call from the little girl's aunt and it turns out that when they took out the breathing apparatus she gasp for breaths on her own. Apparently this was a good thing because it meant that her brain was working! Still we all acknowledge that the Lord was above all this and could perform insane miracles. We prayed again at the end of life group and passionately called out to God to rescue and save. See the email conversation between Tracey and Megan Beeney (aka Meegs) below:

Beens, I just needed to update you.
I just got a call from Christy Norland, from life group.
Hailey, the one that we prayed for last night, IS TALKING THIS MORNING!!!!
after being found under the water, presumed dead from drowning, with only small brain activity.....
THEY MAY EVEN RELEASE HER TONIGHT TO GO HOME!!!!!

GOD, YOU ARE SO GOOD.
WE PRAISE YOU, AND THANK YOU, FOR THE ANSWERING OF THIS PRAYER.

The medical doctors will blame it on the fact that she had a seizure from the heat of the Jacuzzi, and the fact that she was only under the water a few minutes, and because CPR was performed on her....
BUT WE KNOW THE REAL REASON - PRAYER.
God may have used all of those things, but she was saved by God's Holy sovereignty!!!
they only had her sedated a little bit last night, then she was breathing on her own.
and this morning, she started talking
WITH NO BRAIN DAMAGE AT ALL!!!

Thank you, Lord, for saving that little girl, we praise you, and thank you for the innumerable blessings we are surrounded by each day.
and thank you, Lord, for using this to remind me how awesome and amazing you are.

trace, thought you might like an update.
ash and sue, just thought that you should know that I got a HUGE reminder today that God is so good... sometimes we don't understand it, and sometimes we do.....
last night, I got it!

Thank you,
