Miracles #2

My last post was about the first miracle I ever witnessed... but now I think I actually want to go backwards to the first miracle that happened with my involvement... so here goes... this ones a bit gross :)

Right, so when my brother Jamie was born about 1 1/2 years after me, he was a fine and healthy baby - but after a while we noticed something wasn't quite right... he didn't poo. Not like, he did a little bit but not enough... but like never... and I'm talking weeks not just days. Poor little thing kept trying and trying but nothing ever... well, you get the picture.
Anyway, as hilarious as it sounds, this was a major issue and it really could have killed him. So naturally my lovely mum and dad got the church praying for healing as he was taken in to the hospital after a worried phone call from my mum.
So there they were, my mum, my grandad and granny, and Jamie at the hospital. (Unfortunately it just so happened that I decided to have a fever that day so dad had to stay home with me.)
Anyway, after a quick check up they decided they needed to get a good look... so they brought out the pointy sticks... :) hahaha... this bit always makes me laugh.
They weren't expecting anything to happen 'cos they were convinced it was this terrible disorder that meant that he just couldn't poo, but they were checking to see if he just didn't have enough room :).
And, as the church are all praying back home, by the grace of God, when the doctor tried to stick these lovely sanitary things up his bum... HE POOED ALL OVER THEM!!!!! I'm serious!!! Weeks and weeks of poo stored up until that moment when it covered the faces of all the doctors in the room... apparently, it was explosive :D.
Anyway, after more testing, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH HIM! So they sent him home... not a problem since :).

Now I know that is a HILARIOUS story (and I don't doubt this will get around, but tbh I tell everyone anyway) but there was real danger there. He really could have died. But only by God's grace, he was healed and whatever was wrong with him, was no where to be seen - the doctors couldn't explain it.

God's healing power is real, and it's available to us TODAY if we want it.
