Return of the Eagles

I hope you believed me when I said I was just waiting for the time when I could share the answers to prayer, the GREAT things God was ALSO doing right in the midst of this season of TRIALS! If you recall, what was said was that some things were just too personal, that we didn’t have permission, but once we did, we would certainly share.

Most of those things are still on “hold” but I do have one “Hand-of-God” story for you:

Sometime back, a friend of my daughter asked prayer for her father for a personal situation he faced. God heard that prayer and moved in that situation.

Not long after, the same friend of my daughter received word that her father was diagnosed with an incurable cancer. (Just reminding you that this is not some story I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend, but a real person in our lives.)

They started him on chemo to help give him a bit of time, but was told it was not really likely going to do much good, that he likely had only 6 months to live.

I was asked to seek God for him.

Fast forward to his doctor appointment this week. Lo and behold, scans showed that “the chemo was working” (doctors’ words), that he “might go into remission” and have “5-10 years to live!”

Hahahahaha!

I have great appreciation for my own doctors, and I will give a shout out for these, but I will make sure right here that everyone knows it is GOD who did this great work!!!

Anyone who has dealt with this horrible disease knows that it does not make a U-turn like that as a normal course of action when it gets to the latter stages.

And while we are talking about miracles, sometimes we think we are only useful to God when He uses us to perform great acts. But just like the picture above portrays, at times the greatest act is simply that we are able to stay aloft in the storm.
