"All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired." - Martin Luther
A week ago I opened up Facebook to see all my high school friends asking for prayers for a former classmate, Karlie. I learned that Karlie went into the hospital last Monday to be induced. It was decided that she would have a c-section but before she went in, she coded. It took 14 minutes to get a heart beat and was shocked 5 times! Both she and her baby girl, Mackenzie were put on ventilators. Her mom has been writing updates here.
I am beyond words today because Karlie got to hold Mackenzie for the first time yesterday! Believe what you will but I do believe that there is a God and in the power of prayer. When I hear stories like this, how do you not believe in a greater power? I am in complete awe in what God can do and really is in control of everything.
A friend said it best, "if I ever loose my faith or doubt there is a God, I will think of Karlie and remember this amazing miracle." Sometimes it is hard to believe and trust that God is working when life gets hard, but my problems seem so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. I know if God can work wonders with the matters of life and death, He can certainly take care of my small problems.
Do you believe in miracles?
