A Little Miracle

I want to share a story about a miracle that happened in my friends' life that we got to witness firsthand. James and Joni, long time friends of ours, were 20 weeks pregnant with their second daughter when they found out there were complications. The ultrasound showed a mass on the baby's side and the baby's heart was turned and enlarged. They didn't know what the mass was but decided they would do a c-section at 39 weeks in case surgery was needed immediately. We began to pray, along with other family. One night as Austin and I prayed for them we sensed the Holy Spirit doing a work on baby Cozette and prayed that Joni would even feel it inside her. Sure enough the next day Joni told me that the baby was going crazy inside of her about the same time we were praying and she couldn't even go to sleep. But from that point they began to have a peace that everything would be fine.
I was able to go to Arkansas (without the boys!!) to help as they had no idea what was ahead of them. Well, Cozette was born Aug. 27th at 7lb. 14 oz. She appeared to be completely healthy aside from the mass. She was taken to Children's hospital and as they began to run tests they soon found out that the mass was completly vascular and they would just watch it and not need to do surgery right away if ever. And... her heart was perfectly fine, not turned or enlarged at all!!! Our God is amazing and DOES answer prayer. We have to trust him and believe that he is who he says he is! Please pray that the mass continues to shrink and disappear without surgery.
