I just watched this wonderful video on Yahoo, and I had to share!
First off, if you haven't heard of Kelly Gerken of Sufficient Grace Ministries, check it out right now. (Click here to read my post about it.)
So, here's the story. Laura Ballard and her husband Todd, got pregnant with twins. They were overjoyed! Then, at 14 weeks, they discovered that the twins had twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (as did Kelly's babies, Faith and Grace, who are now living with God).
Anyway, Laura refused to just accept that. She searched high and low until she finally discovered a surgery that could save 1 of her twins. She looked at it like this: If they didn't do the surgery there was no chance of survival. If they DID do the surgery, 1 or, God willing, BOTH of the twins might survive. AS you might have guessed, the prayed hard and went through with the surgery.
Oh how glad they were that God had led them to do the surgery. Both babies lived! Kensley and Berkley Ballard totally defied all odds and and turned 6 months old yesterday. All I can say is... GOD IS AMAZING!!!
No doctors thought both babies would survive. No specialists did either. The Ballard's were hoping and praying, but they didn't know. You know who DID KNOW? God, of course! He has big plans for these babies. He drastically changed the lives of a wonderful family, for the better. How does He do this? Why does He do this? BECAUSE HE IS GOD!!!
I'm just really feeling His love right now. Miracles don't have to involve me for me to be encouraged by them. Basically, I get excited anytime I hear that God is working in another family. We serve a big God. Thank you, Father!
God Bless,
Sydney
