second chances...

it was about 3 weeks ago...that i received a call from my girlfriend...she let me know that her nephews daughter had just suffered an aneurysm...a young girl...only 23 years old...and that same day...my sweet friend and family member "r" responded to my email for prayer for this 23 year old...saying she was praying...and could i keep her husband in prayer who was just being taken into emergency...not knowing that he as well would suffer an aneurysm...same day...he was healed...and we praised our Father...for His wonderful goodness...and healing power...

meanwhile...the 23 year old...was declared brain dead...with absolutely no chance of survival...her parents were not believers...but overwhelmed in hearing about all the people that they did not know...praying for their daughter...

grappling with the decision to take her off life support...they couldn't do it...and kept holding out faith that something would happen...

and today...a new doctor has told them...that she will have full recovery...

to say that this is anything short of God's amazing healing power...well...it can't be done...He is alive and well...and still healing...

i am overwhelmed...and beyond gratefulness for God's gift of life...and second chances...
