Who doesn't love a good miracle? I thought I'd start the week out right by declaring it Miracle Monday and sharing an amazing story of God's healing in my church this week.
Now, I have to admit, I am a natural skeptic when it comes to miracle stories. Oftentimes, I feel more like the story is an urban legend than fact, and maybe that's because the stories are coming second, third or fourth hand (or more).
I hope you won't feel that way about the miraculous case of the disappearing brain tumor. I watched this unfold this week over our church prayer chain and Pastor Jeff shared about it at church this morning.
On Tuesday morning this message went out over eBlast:
Please pray for a member of our Bridgewater Campus, Darlene. Doctors found an operable brain tumor. Doctors are optimistic since they caught it early. Please pray for healing and peace for Darlene and her family.
On Tuesday evening, an update was sent:
***UPDATE*** Darlene does not have a tumor!! She has an aneurysm. She is going to Overlook Hospital for emergency surgery. Pray for wisdom for the doctors, a speedy recovery, and peace for the family (they have 2 kids).
There was no follow up on Darlene's condition for a few days, but no doubt the Powerhouse Prayer Warriors were at work. (Powerhouse has an amazing prayer team. There is a whole group of people who pray through the service for the church, and other people standing on the side of the sanctuary to give prayer after the service for anyone who wants or needs its.)
After being told she has a tumor, which was then "downgraded" to aneurysm, on Saturday this message goes out:
****UPDATE ON DARLENE****
Darlene had exploratory surgery this week to find out what they should do, and when they were looking at it they found that it is healing & clotting "by itself"!!!! We know it's not by itself, it it by the hand of God! The doctors have only seen this once before. Please continue to pray for Darlene's healing, as she is to take it easy for a couple of months before she gets back to normal activity.
Wow! Praise God! How awesome is that? I mean seriously, how awesome and amazing is that? It is unbelievable. Unless, of course, you believe in God and have seen what only He can do. All those miracles recorded in the Bible and handed down through the ages weren't just a one-time deal. God is still in the business of making miracles.
If you've heard any great miracles lately, I'd love to hear them! You can post in the comments or send me an email or Facebook message.
