Prayers Answered.

Okay ... I did get a little political on here, didn't I?  I promised myself I wouldn't use this blog for anything controversial.  I was just excited about the outcome of the election but I know, even still, our country continues to need prayers and hope. 

It seems lately my prayers have been answered one by one and exactly how I wanted them to be answered.  I am in awe of this! 

To share one example, last Saturday I received a phone call that my niece is in the hospital in a coma with her organs shutting down.  She was dying and everyone gathered to the hospital to say goodbye.  I am in another state and it made things really tough.  I prayed.  I prayed a lot.  I asked others to pray.  Even my five year old daughter prayed, "please God don't let my cousin die."  Hearing my little girl say those words were absolutely heartbreaking.  My daughter is such a sweet, sensitive, caring kid.  I couldn't believe that my beautiful 35 year old niece, who has been battling with multiple sclerosis, was going to die.  Her and I were so close as kids but when I moved to Pennsylvania things changed.  I was no longer close to my family members but I did think of them often and love them all so much.  This was a hard thing to go through.  My niece has two children.  What were those two kids going to do without their mother?  It was devastating. 

Today I received some amazing news.  My niece's organs have started to work again and she woke up.  She is being moved to a regular room.  She's going to live.  Did you hear that?  She's going to live!  I cannot believe it.  Actually, yes, I can believe that.  I can believe that because I believe in God and I know He had a hand in this.  Anything is possible with God.  Anything.  He is saving my niece.  I'm so, so happy. 

God is good!
