Praises & Miracles

Two years later I became pregnant again.  This pregnancy was even harder. At eight months pregnant I gave premature birth to a stillborn baby girl.  My sweet Andrea is in Heaven.  I almost died the night she was born.  But the Lord spared me.

After her birth I suffered to first trimester miscarriages.  It was beginning to look like I would not ever have another baby.  The doctors could not find the cause for my problems, so they could do nothing to help.  So I turned to the Lord.  I went to a healing service at my church on Father's Day 1993.  As the pastor was praying for me, he told me he saw a beautiful little girl and she would be raised up to serve the Lord.  I went home elated. That night the Lord told me my daughter was to be named Grace.

A month later I was pregnant.  My pregnancy went much smoother than the previous ones.  I held on tightly to God's promise.  It seemed I was going to have a completely normal pregnancy.  However at 35 weeks they discovered that there was something wrong.  The doctor told me they would have to induce labor the next day.

]The next morning they induced labor.  Four hours later I gave birth to a 3pds 11oz baby girl, Grace.  The doctor told me that my placenta had quit working a month before she was born.  The placenta which should have been 10 inches wide was only 2 inches wide and was full of holes.  The doctor said that there was no way my baby should have survived. She not only survived but she thrived.  After 3 weeks Grace came home from intensive care.  She is now a very healthy and feisty 3 year old.  She has lived up to her name, Grace - God's blessing.
