Miracles Exist

Yes, miracles do exist. How do I know that? I just had one!

I recently had done a post titled God’s Got This. In that post, I thought that I had had pre-cancerous cells in my uterus, but what I actually had was Stage 1, Endometrial Cancer. The doctor stated that it actually was what they termed a Probable Stage 1A, which means that it had just started to grow and hadn’t spread its tentacles out. Notice that I said had. I ended up having a hysterectomy in April in which they removed my uterus. As they sliced and diced it, they found a 1mm cancerous section. When I spoke with the doctor yesterday, he said that we had taken care of it. It was gone! I had my miracle.

My miracle was that I have a God who gets me to a doctor whose radar was triggered by something that was off in my body and that she wanted to do more to figure it out. My miracle was the so many family and friends that prayed for me when it could have been so much scarier. Those prayers are what helped me to completely turn my very scary issue over to a loving God!

In the movie, Miracles from Heaven, Anna Beam was a young girl who had to live with a very rare incurable disorder that affected her ability to digest food. During this time, her mom, Christy, struggled with her faith. At the time, she doesn’t see how God is there guiding her through. However, at the end, when Anna is cured, Christy sees that they had experienced miracles the whole time that they were going through this journey. Yes, Anna was healed after a horrific accident where she fell into a hollow tree. That part was God, but what her mom also needed to see were the little things that those around us do for us when we’re really not paying attention or we are consumed by our own suffering.

Those are our miracles. So, maybe yours isn’t cancer. Maybe it’s something else that you are struggling with. Maybe it’s nothing huge. Maybe it’s a small thing that is affecting you in some way. Don’t hold on to it and keep that pain inside. Reach out to a God who loves you and values you, but also realize that you need to reach out to your family and friends as well. They can’t help you until they know what’s going on. I have found that God likes to work in the simplest of ways. Your miracle is out there. You just have to look in order to see it.

So, what did I learn from this? Our God isn’t just awesome sometimes. He’s awesome all the time! Stuff happens. There are no two ways around that. I have found that while I may be suffering my very worst fear, that is when He is carrying me in order to get me to the next phase that He has planned.

What can you gain from this? Life is still scary, but once you have God then you know that He can make it just a little less scary. It’s learning how to let go and let God do what He wants to do in your life. That is the hardest step for us to take. Yes, even with the not-so-fun things that we as humans suffer through, He has a purpose. So…. are you ready for your miracle yet? Start looking, because those miracles are all around you.
