miracles

This morning I checked my email and logged on to Facebook as I habitually do when I get into work. Only this morning, the new emails and status updates had tears streaming down my face.

First, they were sad tears. My sister Ashley and her husband had the privilege this week of visiting with a couple whose 7 month old daughter was just diagnosed with SMA and she posted about it on Case's caringbridge site. Ashley texted me a picture of sweet little Jori yesterday, and it brought tears to my eyes because it looked so much like Case. And it brought tears to my eyes because I know EXACTLY what Jori's Auntie's must be feeling like right now.

Then moments later, as the tears kept flowing they became tears of JOY. After 11 1/2 years of infertility, my sweet cousin Kristen is pregnant. Wow, what a mighty God we serve!!! Over the last few years as we have become blogging buddies of sorts, I feel like I have glimpsed the depth of her pain and was personally touched by her immovable faith.

In the last year, there were times that I was on my hands and knees beseeching the throne of God for a miracle to heal my nephew. I was reminded this morning that I believe in miracles. I believe in a God who changed water into wine. I believe in a God who performed unfathomable miracles through my nephew's life. I believe in a God who may not have healed Case, and He may not heal Jori but I believe with all my heart that He can.

And so I will continue to pray BOLDLY for miracles. Because I believe in miracles!
