True Miracle!
I had to write this down while it was fresh on my mind. Our doctor, who is a strong christian man, just called a little bit ago. After he told me what changes he was making with the girls today, he said, "let me ask you something. Who are your prayer warriors." I said, "well, I have to admit I don't even know them all." I did tell him about all our missionary friends, church family, our family's prayer chains, our friends... we had no idea really how many prayer warriors we had. He had told me before when Taylor had been sick that he knew we had some awesome prayer warriors. This is the part that brought tears to our eyes. After asking us that, he said he had never heard of a baby surviving a second bout with group b strep. I, of course, thanked him for not telling us that last week. He was going to do more research to see what he could find out about recurring strep b. We mentioned before that strep b can be fatal in infants, but hearing how fortunate she really is struck a chord on our heartstrings. Praise God Almighty!!We are overwhelmed with His mercy, grace and love. It shows us all the more that He is in complete control! We know God is already using these girls for His glory, which is what we prayed for their lives since before they were born. We know He has big plans in store for them. Taylor is doing much better, but still needs your prayers, since she's still not 100%. Another side effect of strep b can be brain damage, also. We can't know right now whether that's the case, but pray it's not. "Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." James 5:16- Thank you prayer warriors!

Aaron & Gabrielle Woods have been keeping us (members of Maywood Baptist Church here in Independence, MO) up to date via emails about your little girls.
just thought I'd drop you a line and a word of encouragement to let you know you're ALL in our prayers. Praise God for the great news this week. I know HE will work all things according to HIS purpose. Stay Strong In the LORD.
