Do you still believe in miracles?

I sure do! I witnessed one in my little family recently when we were in revival.

A little background. My 3rd child, Kaydence (will be 2 in Sept) has had problems with her ears since she was little. She's had a few ear infections. But the doctors said her ears were fine and she didn't need tubes or anything. She couldn't be out in the wind without a bonnet on or we would have a rough night with her ears hurting. She also did not react to certain sounds. She could stand next to an ambulance siren and not cover her ears like her siblings did. She just pointed to the lights. We thought of taking her in to get her hearing tested but never did. She also didn't say much more than Momma or Daddy (her older siblings could talk a lot at her age). Everything else was slurred (we're guessing she couldn't hear the words). We were in revival not too long ago with Bro GW Birdsong. When they'd ask for prayer requests, I'd request prayer for my oldest daughter Jazmyne because she was just getting over strep throat. Well Kaydence would always get my attention point to her ears and then herself. I guess her ears were getting worse as the revival went on. She got to the point that she'd stick one finger in an ear and then point to the altar. She wanted prayer. At home she would put a finger in each ear and just cry.

The Saturday night before Bro GW closed the meeting, we'd had a rather slow service I thought. I can't remember the exact detail (maybe Angela can) but sometime after the preaching, the Holy Ghost began to move on my Aunt Wanda. She was shouting (dancing in the Spirit) all over the place. She began to shout and walk by our bench. She'd go past then turn around and go past again. She said she was fighting with the Devil about picking up Kaydence. The Devil told her that my husband wouldn't like it if she did. She finally obeyed the Lord and picked her up. She shouted with Kaydence up to the altar. She put her hand upon Kaydi's ear and pulled her to her chest. When she did this, Kaydence began to scream and cry. She was scared of course so I went up to hold her while they annointed her and prayed. The Lord was so strong that night. After church was over Kaydence was as happy as could be.

We came home and began to notice that Kaydence was talking. She could say about a dozen or so more words than she could before then. She was throwing a fit about something that night also. She used to scream a really high pitch scream. She started to do that and stopped. She had a shocked look on her face as she put her hands on her ears. She heard the scream and hasn't screamed like that since. She was still putting her fingers in her ears. We'd ask if they hurt and she'd shake her head no. I finally figured out that they were probably itching.

The next Tuesday night they were bothering her. So I took a flashlight and looked in them. The canals were bright red and raw. If they were that way the next day, we were going to take her to the doctor. So on Wednesday, I looked and instead of looking raw the canals were covered in new skin. Since we can't really know exactly what the Lord did, we can guess. It looked like He reconstructed her ear canals and drums.

She adds new words to her vocabulary daily. She likes for us to repeat words several times. I told my husband that it must be because she is hearing them clearly for the first time and has to process that. Now if she does stick her finger in her ear, it's because I need to clean some excess wax out of it. Sometimes they itch too.

Praise the Lord for coming by and touching my little girl!

Our oldest daughter is a miracle too. Doctors say she needs a pacemaker to live. They told us that news when she was 2. Praise God she's 5 and still doesn't have a pacemaker. She still has a heart condition. And her heart could stop at any time according to the doctors. But as we told the doctors, our heart could stop any time also. We know the Giver of Life! So pray for her and help us to be willing to accept whatever God has in store for her.
