I had a friend in my mom's group who's husband is a doctor from here and went on a Missions trip to Guatemala to help city's who had not seen a doctor in 2 yrs. A neurological doctor that had recently accepted Christ felt God was calling him to serve in Guatemala, which was surprising to him because he was #1, not the normal family doctor that goes on these trips and #2 had not been a Christian for very long. So the doctor went making jokes to the other family doctors that "If someone has seizures line up in my line," knowing his family practice skills were a bit rusty.
They went to a town that had not seen a doctor in over 2 yrs. A little boy who had seizures was brought to the doctor when the doctor noticed calluses on the boys knees. The doctor wanted to find out if the boy was being abused so he asked for a translator to ask if the boy had been scrubbing floors. The boy said no, "I have been on my knees for 4 years praying that God would send the healer of seizures to my town. It has caused these calluses on my knees, but I knew that God would send the healer if I would just pray for it."
Before the doctor had left my home town someone sent him with 6 months supply of a new drug that does not have to be monitored or have extreme side effects to take away seizures. The doctor gave the boy the medicine and will be able to supply it to him the rest of his life.
What amazing faith this boy had that ministered to me countries away in a town I had not ever even heard of. Don't let the odds, the statistics, or any fact put a box on the power of the God who holds all in His hands. He may just be in the making of a true miracle!
