Miracles do happen

Here is a little story from our summer adventures that I mentioned last time round. James is a great guy who is part of CityChurch. In July he had a nasty fall and broke his ankle badly. In fact he broke six bones. At one point early on doctors were concerned he may even lose his foot. I'm a bit squeamish so I didn't like to look too closely and thankfully he had it in a great big boot. The boot, he was told would be on for 9 months and would secure the two metal plates that had been grafted in to secure his foot. After nine months he would have the boot and plates removed and then have the foot broken again and re-set without the plates. This was to be followed by nine more months in plaster. Not great! The x ray picture below shows the broken foot. If you don't quite understand it be assured that the leg bone is supposed to sit on the ankle not be completely detached as it is in this shot.

To further complicate matters James fell again and made it worse in August. Early September arrived and we upped our prayer. We have been building a culture of faith for the miraculous as we pursue the presence of God and have seen some great healings but this was a big one. However God is good and in early September James visited the doctors again and new x-rays showed that the bones were healed! The doctors removed the boot and told James he could walk on the foot! Praise God! Here is a picture I took of his ankles just last week.

Be encouraged that God does heal. Lets keep believing and keep persevering. We didn't just pray once for James, but we did keep going and keep building our faith. Let's here more stories like this one and keep sharing them. To the Glory of God.
