We’ve witnessed a miracle.

I don’t have eloquent words, just overwhelming gratitude and the need to shout it from the rooftops, so here it is.

Most of you know our story- the Lord rescued our marriage, then continued to demonstrate His power as our newborn baby defied all odds and lived in spite of multiple diagnoses that intended to take her life.

And now for the last nine years, we’ve watched as she’s been plagued with seizure disorders that have threatened her life and stolen her childhood. She’s grown up bouncing between hospital stays, doctor’s visits, and therapy appointments, battling the unpleasant side effects of loads of medications.

And we have prayed. And prayed. And prayed some more.

After nine years, we had our first clear EEG.

So we spent last week in the hospital as the doctors tried to prove that it was a fluke. Because with all of the brain damage and cysts and fluid in this girl’s head and nine years of constant spikes and seizure activity, a clear EEG makes no sense.

We left a week later on one less medication and a still clear EEG… even when they weaned her meds, there were very few abnormalities, and the one seizure they triggered was NOTHING compared to the seizures she’s had in the past- she never lost consciousness, never convulsed, never lost oxygen.

Nothing short of a miracle.

Now, don’t get me wrong- we’re still praying for healing. There are still struggles. There are still big diagnoses, still treatments, still work to be done.

But we can’t let that undermine the miracle of this moment. God is still working- He’s not done yet. This is just the beginning.

So to those of you who have been praying for years, who are clinging to a promise, who are waiting and waiting and waiting- don’t lose hope. Just because you haven’t seen it yet doesn’t mean you won’t. Just because it makes no sense doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Just because the wait is long doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.

He is doing something. He is working in the waiting. He is faithful to complete it.

We’re still believing. We’re still hoping. We’re ready for more.

We’ve witnessed it.
