Below is an awesome and amazing testimony of God's greatness in our lives! Wendy & Tony Word (Wendy Word + forgiven) wanted me to share this story with you!

---------------------------------

Over the July 4th holiday, our oldest son, Stetson, was hurt while playing in a pool with a bunch of people. They were throwing each other up real high and letting them come down in the pool, but he landed awkwardly on his back. For the next couple weeks he kept having pains in his chest until one day we could hear a gurgling sound on the heart side of his chest. We called his pediatrician, and they told us to take him to the emergency room immediately. We took him to Children's Hospital here in Birmingham and found out he had a hole in his lung which was also partially collapsed. That hole was letting air escape and was building up pressure around his lung. The risk was if that air pocket continued to grow until it started putting pressure on his heart.

The next morning, after being admitted into the hospital, the surgeon came in and let us know that he wanted to put in a tube to get the air out and then do an additional procedure to attach the lung to the lining on the wall around it to hold it up. It was quite a shock and hard to absorb, and we didn't know what to do so we put him off one day to see if it would get better and we turned our eyes to God. Wendy and I fasted the rest of that day and asked the Lord for a miracle. God promised that if we pray, believing, then we shall receive....and we did.

The following morning the doctor came in and said that the pocket of air was not getting any larger so there was a chance it might heal on its own over the next few weeks. He was not very optimistic, though, and he again pushed for surgery. We decided to believe God for a miracle, and we told him we were going to wait on that surgery. He scheduled another appoitment to check progress five days later and we went home.

Now is when God moved in a mighty way. The day came for the follow-up, and they did the same tests again to check on it and they couldn't find an air pocket at all. In addition, the lung had bounced back up and was fully expanded like normal. The doctor didn't know what to say because it should not have healed up that quickly so Wendy, being the minister that she is, helped him out. She called it a miracle and let him know that God had done His thing.

If you need a miracle in your life, no matter how big, remember that God is still God and He is the Healer.

Doing His Work,

Tony and Wendy Word
