Our Easter Miracle

He is not here, he has risen, just as he said. Matthew 28:6

With a grateful heart I share what God did for us this Easter. On Monday morning, March 6, I took Olivia to the doctor to talk about headaches she has been having for some time. They sent us for a CT scan and the technician said she saw no problems. On Tuesday they called to tell us the scan revealed a 14 x 17 mm cyst on the left side of Olivia's brain. She would need to have an MRI and from there we would meet with a pediatric neurosurgeon at Baptist hospital. I contacted Mark in Bolivia and he was on the next plane home. Family and friends all over the world began praying with us for Olivia.

On Thursday morning we walked into the hospital for the MRI. We were met by Tonya, a precious lady we attend church with. She performed the MRI and half way through the test said, "I don't see anything, there is nothing there!" Only eternity will show whether it was never there or God removed it but no matter how you see it to us "IT WAS A MIRACLE!" We praise God for His goodness and for those who went before Him in prayer for Olivia.


Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. Psalm 28: 6-7
