In my last post, I asked my readers if anyone had experienced a “Class A” miracle, meaning a miracle that broke the laws of nature. In response, Lucy Orebaugh left a comment describing two!
I have experienced 2 class A miracles. First when I was just 15 my brother was working underneath a cotton combine and the combine fell on top of him. They called my parents and told him he wasnt going to make it and they had better fly out soon to say goodbye. My friend and I attended church that night when my parents flew out to IL to see my brother. The entire congregation stopped during the service and prayed for my brother. My parents flew him home and he ended up in a hospital in Washington, DC for 5 days and walked out with a broken leg. The doctors could not explain it to my parents other then it was a miracle. Funny thing later one of the members of the congregation asked when they knew my brother was actually going to live. After checking the medical report, it showed around the same time we were praying.
The other time was when I was pregnant with my son. I became deathly ill and lost over 50 pounds in my first trimester. The doctors insisted I needed to abort the pregnancy if I had a chance to live. I prayed and had total peace it would be fine. My family even tried to get a court order to make me abort since they didnt know Jesus or have any peace on the matter. It was a very difficult time where God was the only one who knew besides me that it was going to be fine. I was in the hospital the entire pregnancy. I was the first person recorded to have intravenous steroids during a pregnancy and my son being the first fetus to receive steroids. They had determined at that point I had crohn’s disease. Dr. Fox made it clear to me that if the baby survived, at the very least he would be down syndrome. But was more likely he wouldnt survive. I told him my God gave me total peace and the baby would be fine. We had over 67 people with neonatal teams and press and 2 surgeons at the delivery of my son, Sean. Imagine their surprise when my son came out a perfect 10 on the apgar scale. And even greater still, the Lord used me to pray with Dr Fox to accept Him as his Lord and Savior! We serve a mighty God!
Thanks for sharing this, Lucy! We have an amazing God who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think. Thank you for your simple but profound faith in Him. And praise God for your testimony to your doctor.
