Do You Believe in Miracles?

[BetteDavisEyes]

Yeah this is kinda random but I started thinking out of the blue about this after hearing a story on my local news. Do you personally believe in miracles? Have you ever witnessed or heard of a legitimate one? I'm not talking about things like passing Algebra (though that was pretty darn miraculous for me) but about serious things that happen in life? I myself have 2 stories.

1. My sister is 39 & has a 21 year old son & a 15 year old. Though she wanted more children, her health is not good so she remained content with her two boys. During late 2003, she finds that she is expecting again. She's completely taken off guard b/c doctors said she was unable to get pregnant. Unfortunately, she suffered a heart attack at three months and bounced in and out of the hospital through the remainder of her pregnancy. The doctors told her that the baby would be born Down Syndrome. When the baby was born, she had a girl and my niece is now 4 months and is completely healthy. I believe that she is a little miracle. Of course, every baby is a miracle in my eyes but my niece is something special.

2. When my significant other was 13, he was diagnosed with cancerous tumors in his neck. He had tumors the size of golf balls all around. The doctors basically said that it was not good & he was not likely to recover. There was nothing they could do. However, his family prayed and to this day still believe that God answered their prayers by curing him. On the day he was supposed to go in for surgery, the tumors were gone. The doctors were baffled but one doctor told them that medicine does not always have the answers. Sometimes you have to ask a bigger power for help & M is a great example of what faith will do.

Does anyone else have stories to share?
