Miracle by definition...


Miracle: An event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God!


An act of God... is precisely what our family is experiencing. At 5:56pm our pediatrician called with news about York's CT scan. She explained that although the X-Ray appeared to show that the sutures of York's skull were indeed closing prematurely... the CT scan concluded that the sutures had NOT closed at all. I can not express the mixture of emotions that I felt at that moment. After hours of prayer, sleepless nights, endless research, and millions of tears our life was touch by the hand of God. (yet AGAIN...) To put into words the way Wes and I feel is absolutely impossible. Often times we look for answers from friends, family and even ourselves but the truth is that we first have to connect to the source of power from which prayers are answered. We can not thank all of you prayer warriors for the work you have done. After expressing to the doctor my amazement and appreciation of the news... she simply said, "I wish I could take credit... but the glory goes to God!" What an amazing moment... I was completely speechless. We forget that miracle happen each day... to be apart of one is incredible. Thanks again to all of your support emotionally and spritually! We love you all...

Evan, I know excactly how you feel! My family was blessed too last week. Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer just last week, we thought the cancer had spread because of the stage of cancer it was and how advanced it was so we were all bracing for the worst. He had a bone scan on Thursday to see if they cancer had spread and we found out the it DIDN'T spread! We are so blessed that our prayers were answered. Dad still has to undergo surgery and then radation but we are blessed that he will be around for much longer now! I am so glad to hear the news about York! It is crazy how miracles occur!
