There's Something About David

Have you ever heard a story that impacts you so personally that you have to write about it? :)  Wait, that's what blogging is.

Sorry we've been MIA for a little while. We got back into the work swing after our vacation, and now we're gearing up to leave again for another small week long hiatus.

Anyway, there is this man, David who goes to our church. He was hit by a car on his bike and was injured almost fatally. He sustained some pretty traumatic brain injury, to the point where the doctors had to take his brain out of his skull in order to relieve some of the pressure that was building up.  This happened no more than 8 weeks ago.

The reason why I bring it up is because I personally, along with others, have been praying for David's recovery.  I know that there have been times in the past that God choose to answer prayers differently than I expected.  I am amazed at what He continues to do in my life as I struggle to balance prayer even for myself, my family, and my issues. Can I get a few more hours in the day please?

The most amazing thing about it is that David walked into church last Sunday while I was singing on the praise team.  He WALKED in the door, smiling and coherent.  There are some people who do not believe in God or miracles, and would ascribe this healing to technology/medicine or good karma.  

I just believe that God heard us and chose to answer our prayer in the way of allowing David to fully recover from his injuries a short time after his accident.  

God still heals.  He still performs miracles in the lives of people everyday.  I am overwhelmed that God used this situation to not restore but rejuvenate my faith in Him and to physically see the manifestation of God's awesome power.

I have been praying for some things in our life at home like baby #2, health and wellness for our family and financial independence.  I believe with all my heart that God will honor our requests and make Himself known to the people in our circle as a God who cares, loves and listens when His children talk to him.  

Now, we're off to SC to work on that #2. lol
