Miracles

Some people say that miracles only happened way back when. That they don't exist today. I've never subscribed to that theory ever. But in the case that I ever had any doubts, they have all been erased, as I was able to witness miracles last week.

For those of you who have been following my blog, you might remember Mari Rosa, the woman in the community with 5 children who was diagnosed with cancer last year. Mari has received extensive therapy including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which have both made her very sick. Her children and her husband as well as her neighbors have watched as Mari has gone through bouts of sickness, nausea, vomiting and fatigue with her treatment. They've observed as her faith, which was all but absent when she was diagnosed with cancer, has grown day by day even though she has been faced with a dire prognosis. They have joined with her in her struggles and sorrows and last Monday they were able to join her in her joy. Her doctors reported that Mari is cancer free! A miracle that we know came from God. Mari shared her good news with me and the staff of the mission and later that evening gave her testimony that night in women's church.

Mari Rosa

I am so thankful for a God who does miracles. A God who is with us in the big and the small struggles. One who will never forsake us, the only one who will never forsake us. He is a God that has done many miracles, is doing many miracles and will do many miracles until the end. And He allows us to see and be a part of these miracles so that we can remember that He is a God and loving God. So that when we pass through trials, temptation and fire we do not despair for we know that the same God who was with us before, is with us now and will never leave us.

Blessings,
