I Believe in Miracles!

I was asked to post about my daughter's healing, so here goes.

Her name is Precious Sabrina, when she was seven years old, her body began to twist and her leg began to draw up. I wasn't sure what was going on, I thought she had Muscular Dystrophy or Mulitiple Sclerosis. Her hips were out of line, she came to the point she couldn't run or walk to the lunch room with her first grade class. She had always been a very active child, loved to play soccer or football or whatever was going on outdoors. At this time, she couldn't play anymore and it became painful to walk very far, so she would sit on the patio in a lounge chair and watch her brother and sister play with all of her friends. It was very devastating to her and to I, not knowing what was happening or what to do.

So I began to take her to doctors and finally found a chiropracter who told me she had scolosis and he could make adjustments and she would get better. So for a year I took her four times a week to the doctor and her leg would seem to get better, but it never was completely right. Finally, I decided to take her to a hospital in a nearby town. I found a doctor there and when we got there he took xrays and did tests and confirmed it was scoliosis. Her leg had drawn up where it was around five inches shorter than the other one and she walked very crookedly, almost twisted.

The doctor explained to me he wanted to operate on her spine and they would insert a steel rod into her back which would straighten the curve, however she would probably never be able to run or wear high heels as she became older. I was a new Christian at the time, and when he left the office, Precious started to have tears running down her little face. I bent down and said Precious, why are you crying, I said we have Jesus and He is going to heal you. Then I held her and reassured her.

On the way to the hospital that morning I was listening to Christian radio and an evangelist was preaching. I remembered him saying, what do you mean you have this sickness, all sickness and disease went to the cross two thousand years ago and by His stripes you are healed. He talked about faith and believing God for a miracle.

Being a new Christian, I felt if God were God, then He could do anything or He was no different than me, and if He couldn't do anything more than I, why should I believe in Him. I know that sounds harsh, but I felt if God were God, then nothing was impossible and especially if He created our bodies and He could definately fix whatever was wrong with them.

I believed He could move mountains, raise the dead, make the blind see, the deaf hear and the lame walk. After all He is God, He is incredible, indescribable, amazing and I read in His word where He did all these things and more and His word also said..He is the same yesterday, today and forever. So I figured if He healed way back then, then He would do it now. I mean after all, the Bible is true, it is living, it is life giving.........I never questioned whether He would do it for me, after all He loved me and He didn't create this seven year old to be this way, so I was going to take Him at His word.
