I believe in Miracles...

A man from our church had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital last Sunday. After getting the results back from the tests that had been done, we all knew things didn't sound too hopeful for Mr. Coomer. Two of the three main arteries to his heart are blocked, 1/3 of his heart is dead-and he's not strong enough to endure the surgery. Todd and my dad went to visit him last Wednesday, he looked pretty good and seemed okay. Things kind of went downhill from there, to my understanding, and on Saturday the doctors had decided there wasn't really anymore they could do for him. That morning they quit giving him the medication that was supposedly keeping him alive, and the doctors told his family he would go quickly. They all stayed by his bedside on Saturday, Sunday.....I went to visit him last night with my mom and dad. He was talking and back to his old self!!! Things are not all better for him, but he's alive-I guess the Lord wasn't ready for him yet. We know it was a direct answer to prayer and we are so thankful the Lord saw fit to spare his life. Mr. Coomer told us last night he could see two men standing beside him, (at some point on one of those days when they thought he was about gone) and he could hear music playing. He said he knew it wasn't a dream...he really felt he was "about to go", but the Lord let him stay. We don't know what will happen in the days ahead, but we know the Lord gave him some more time.

Another "miracle".....Todd got a letter from Johnson Controls, his employer that laid him off over a year ago!!! There are some catches to the deal...so it's not all great news, but it was a shock to us...and we were still happy. It does kind of complicate things a little with Todd's school and all...it's hard to know exactly what to do...we just have to pray for wisdom. We know we don't want to jeopardize this training!

Hope all is well with everyone!
