miracles

The “smallest baby ever born” in a suburban Chicago hospital has finally gone home after spending the first six months of her life in the medical facility, and her story is a miracle for sure. 

Children are one of the Lord’s biggest blessings. Becoming a parent and welcoming a child into your life will forever change you and how you view the world. Things that seemed like a big deal will be much less critical when you are entrusted with taking care of a little one.

However, every pregnancy is different and has its own complications and precautions. A team of dedicated doctors and nurses will guide and support that mother and father-to-be throughout the process. But there are limits to what those medical professionals can do, and sometimes, the Lord will have to come in and perform a miracle or two.

Nyla Howard was born at just 22 weeks. A YouTube clip describes her as a “micro-preemie.” Her lungs were underdeveloped, her skin was still translucent and she weighed as much as a can of soup. 

The child was delivered so early because her mother had been diagnosed with preeclampsia. 

The clip adds that little Nyla was only given a 10 percent chance of surviving. But that precious little child beat those odds, and she is now at home with her parents, having left the hospital after six months. She left the medical facility weighing in at 10 pounds. 

One of the doctors on the child’s team said she came out crying, calling her a fighter right from the start. 

Nyla’s mother is thankful for her little miracle baby.

“I just don’t have the words in all honesty,” Nyla’s mother said. “We’re just super grateful that she’s here, she’s healthy and she’s doing amazing.”

Psalm 139:14 “I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.”

In the heart of Grand Rapids lies a tale woven with threads of love for Jennifer Flewellen. This woman wakes from a 5-year coma thanks to a miracle and her mother’s love. Filled with resilience and an unwavering belief in miracles this story transcends the ordinary, a narrative of a mother's devotion and a daughter's tenacity, illuminated by the beacon of hope and perseverance.

The heart of a trying ordeal lies the unwavering resolve of a mother, Peggy Means. This woman refused to surrender her faith, even when faced with the darkest of shadows. Jennifer Flewellen's life took a sharp turn at 35, her world upended by a devastating car accident that left her in a medically induced coma after a collision with a pole, moments after dropping her three boys off at school.

Placed on life support, doctors painted a grim picture, advising Peggy to consider the unimaginable. But Peggy, fueled by a mother's love that knows no bounds, stood resolute, defying the whispers of doubt that permeated the hospital halls. "We have no room for negativity," she declared, a beacon of hope in a sea of uncertainty despite the fact that less than 3 percent of people ever wake up from comas like Jennifer’s. 

As days stretched into weeks and weeks into years, Peggy's devotion remained unwavering. Juggling the demands of her own life, she tirelessly advocated for Jennifer's care, battling insurance woes, navigating bureaucratic red tape, and pouring every ounce of her being into her daughter's well-being.

A Mother Refuses To Give Up

Despite Jennifer's unresponsive state, Peggy refused to let her slip away into oblivion. “I remember one respiratory nurse, she told me, ‘Well, you know, she’ll only get worse,’ and I told her, ‘Don’t you ever say that to me again, and never say it around my daughter,'” Peggy said. “I’d say, ‘It’s very easy to be negative, but we have no room for negativity.'”

With tender care and boundless love, she created moments of solace for her daughter—spa days, conversations recounting the progress of her sons, and the simple act of being present, day after day, unwavering in her resolve.

Then, a glimmer of hope pierced the darkness. Five years after the accident, amidst a sunny moment outside the hospital, Jennifer laughed. “I started to wheel her up to the building,” Peggy said, being scared at first, “and then I thought, she’s laughing, so I stopped and got my phone out.

It was a momentous breakthrough, confirming what Peggy had fervently believed all along—her daughter was still there, fighting to emerge from the depths of her coma.

With each passing day, Peggy's determination only grew stronger. Organizing therapies, advocating for surgeries, and pushing boundaries, she became the driving force behind Jennifer's remarkable recovery. 

Today, as Jennifer embraces a new chapter in her life, surrounded by the love of family and the unwavering support of her mother, their story serves as a testament to the power of faith, love, and resilience. Through the darkest of nights, Peggy's unwavering belief in miracles never faltered—a beacon of hope guiding her daughter back to the light. In that moment, hope blossomed anew, a testament to the indomitable power of a mother's love.

In Jennifer's laughter, in her every step toward healing, we find irrefutable proof of the potency of prayer and the resilience of the human soul. Hers is a story of triumph over adversity, a testament to the enduring bond between mother and child, and a reminder that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, hope prevails. Praise God!

Everybody Ignores And Walks Pass this Crazy Street Preacher

Check out this story about a Florida deputy’s heroic act that turned him into an honorary family member.

Deputy Sergeant Dave Musgrove is an officer in Charlotte County, Florida, where he recently rescued a baby’s life after a serious car accident that left her not breathing.

“I saw a flash. I heard a loud bang. And then I saw a cloud of smoke,” Sergeant Musgrove describes the scene that night. “I saw Kayleigh, the mother, just frantically screaming, crying for help. She’s yelling, ‘My babies, my babies.’”

He continues to share the details of the wreck. “As I approached, I saw a motorcycle on the ground. I looked in the vehicle and I encountered a 3-year-old little girl in a car seat. I thought all was well, removed the girl, and she kept yelling, ‘No, my baby.’ And I looked down and I saw underneath the motorcyclist, there was a baby’s head and a car seat.”

Right away, Sergeant Musgrove was able to pull baby Lola from the wreck and start performing CPR on her. “Shortly after I started CPR, I heard the baby gasp,” he shares.

The 6-month-old baby was then airlifted to a nearby hospital, and Deputy Sergeant Musgrove visited her often while she was recovering.

“He’s our angel, that’s for sure,” shares the baby’s grandmother. “You know, what he did for our family was life-changing.” 

“I’m now Uncle Dave according to the grandmother,” says Sergeant Musgrove. “Yes, I am in contact with the family multiple times a day. I get text messages every morning with the morning report.”

Sergeant Musgrove was definitely in the right place at the right time to help this family! And baby Lola and her family members are incredibly grateful for him and how he showed up for them in their time of need.

This is a story of genuine heroism. An 8-year-old girl’s quick actions keep her and her little sister safe during a carjacking.

In this report, we see a picture of a precious family of four. There is an 8-year-old with a 2-year-old younger sister seen in the photo. Everyone, thankfully, is safe and ok. 

However, the heartwrenching voicemail comes to the mother that the girls need her help because they lost their dad. They were simply in a car wash when someone came in and hijacked their car. You hear the father’s call to the police, explaining that someone stole his car with his two kids in the car. This is a moment that no parent ever wants to encounter. 

Adam Jorgenson was just getting out of his car to dry it, and a man came up to ask for directions. Suddenly, he heard the car take off with his children in it. The young girl says that the thief noticed that she was in the car and told her to get out, but she innocently asked, “What about my sister?” The hijacker had not noticed that there were two girls in the car. He ended up leaving the girls in the car and fled the scene a mile away. Charlie saw her dad’s phone and called her mother. The mom was so emotional in the interview and was very thankful they were okay. Everyone celebrates the girl’s bravery in the situation.

This is a moment that reminds us that evil exists and sin is, unfortunately, in the world. We always need to be prayerful and be on our guard.

Praise God that none of those children were injured during the frightening ordeal.

Princess Charming was given just six months to live. But now she is cancer-free and is thriving. 

In this YouTube video, we get to hear the story of Princess Charming and her new owner, Sath. Sath, tells us that she was scrolling on Instagram and found a post about a very sad cat that was living on the streets. She was found by some neighbors and they noticed that she had a wound on her leg. 

It turned out to be an aggressive sarcoma and the neighbors raised money to have her leg amputated. The cancer was going to come back, and she would pass away soon. She couldn’t go back on the streets. 

Sath decided to adopt Princess Charming in April of 2022. “At that very moment I knew my purpose,” she says about adopting the cat. “I just wanted her to have like an easy transition before she left Earth.”

While Sath didn’t know exactly what to do with a cat on hospice, she planned to just give her love and help her have a normal experience of being a cat. Slowly the cat became more and more comfortable with Sath as she showed her the love and care that she needed. 

When Princess Charming outlived the timeline the vet had given her, Sath took her in for x-rays and was in for a surprise. The cancer was gone. It was a real miracle.

“At that moment I had a sense of gratitude and I knew. I knew that it was the love that healed her.” She also talks about how it was confirmation that God and miracles existed. And there is so much truth to that.

What a lovely turn of events for Princess Charming and Sath. During the video, you can see how much the two of them have bonded and how great the cat’s new life is now that she has a loving home of her own.

"The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain: by you will all his grief be turned to strength." - Psalm 41:3

A Florida sheriff’s deputy and a high school track coach’s heroic and quick-thinking actions helped to save a student’s life who unexpectedly collapsed.

Life can dramatically change in an instant and without any notice. A loved one here one minute could be gone the next. Life is a precious gift from God that must be cherished, honored and protected in any and every way imaginable. We never know when we or someone close to us has breathed their last breath. 

That was almost the case for a high school student in Florida who almost took his last breaths. Footage from the deputy’s body camera shows the law enforcement official sprinting on a track to a young man who had collapsed.

Immediately after getting to the scene, the deputy gives a woman, track coach Lauren Palek, kneeling next to the student, directions on what actions to take. 

“You get the breaths,” Deputy Deena Biland says. “I’ll get the chest, OK?”

Deputy Biland and Lauren start performing the life-saving maneuver, working furiously on the young man who has stopped breathing. 

Eventually, all their work paid off as the young man regained a pulse and started breathing once again. 

As the video shows, Deputy Biland and Lauren were both able to stay calm despite the intense, life-or-death situation. In an interview following their heroic actions, both pointed to their training in allowing them to remain calm and know what to do. 

The video posted on YouTube states that even before the deputy was on the scene, Lauren had started chest compressions.

 

“I just focused on counting and relying on what I learned in the training, which I think, obviously, was very valuable,” Lauren said.

Amazingly, less than 24 hours after collapsing and having to be revived, the 17-year-old was back up on his feet.

Thank God for the quick-thinking and heroic actions of Deputy Biland and Lauren. They saved a young man’s life!

Four women who were friends in high school, back in the 1950s, have now been reunited because they all live at the same retirement home.

Life is all about relationships. No one was made to experience life all by themselves. We all require connection with other human beings. Even the most standoffish and anti-social individual wants someone who knows and understands them. 

One of the most important types of relationships we’ll ever form in life is friendships. Friends are special people who are shoulders to cry on when times get tough. They give a word of encouragement when needed, and they are there to celebrate some of life’s special moments and milestones. 

However, unfortunately, whether due to time or distance, some friendships can fade and cease to exist. But others are strong enough to withstand such hurdles, including four women who went to the same California high school in the 1950s. Despite the time that may have passed, four elderly women remain friends. They now live at the same retirement center.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the women reminisced about their high school days. 

“We had a prom every year,” Joan Harris said. “We had a girls basketball team. And we played other Catholic girls’ high schools. We had typing, and we had music and art.”

While in their advanced age, the women understand just how valuable and important friendship is now. Their time together means everything to them.

“I think friendship is very important,” Sylvia Crane said. “And having old friends is wonderful. There’s so many of us that are gone. It’s very important to me to know that I still have these three wonderful women around me.”

What a heartwarming story about friendship that has endured and withstood the test of time! 

Proverbs 18:24 “A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”

One couple, Will and Sarah Mortensen, are familiar with the power of prayer as they witnessed God give them a miracle in the form of their beautiful baby girl.

The Bible is filled with miracles as God consistently demonstrates his power and love. However, most, if they are honest, would likely say that miracles don’t happen today. But Will and Sarah know from personal experience that God still performs miracles today.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Sarah, while 10 weeks pregnant with her and Will’s third child, received the results of a prenatal screening. It revealed that their child, a girl, had tested positive for Trisomy 18. 

Trisomy 18 is a rare chromosomal disorder in which 95 percent of unborn children do not survive a full-term pregnancy. Children with Trisomy 18 who do make it to birth rarely make it past their first birthday, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Knowing these facts, Will and Sarah faced an uncertain future. How were they going to proceed? 

Sarah was scheduled to undergo a test that would have confirmed the diagnosis of Trisomy 18, which would guide them on how to move forward. 

One day, Sarah cried out to God, asking for His help, guidance and direction. She says immediately God responded, speaking to her through the voice of her unborn child.

“And then, right then, it was, like, so clear of feeling her voice say, ‘Like, Mommy, tell them to leave me alone. I’m just fine,’” Sarah said.

The couple decided to cancel the test and move ahead with the pregnancy. However, they would not know for sure if their unborn daughter had Trisomy 18 or not. 

For the next 30 weeks, Sarah, Will and their families prayed and prayed. 

On the delivery day, Sarah and Will’s third child was born. As the video mentions, the child had no sign of Trisomy 18. 

“It was such a great moment because I just knew that the Lord had told me this was going to be the outcome,” Sarah said.

Sarah, now a mother of three, saw firsthand the work of the Lord.

“God gave me a miracle,” Sarah said. “He saved my baby.”

Psalm 95:3 “For the Lord is a great God, and great King over all gods.”
