Prayer works! He's real.

Amazing story. A lady I just met has a difficult life. Her husband was deployed to Iraq last Fall and she has been caring for her daughter, Sydney, who struggles with major health issues (since she was 20 weeks in the womb). I share with you this story through a letter from the husband (to remain anonymous):

Earlier I went on an old friends Myspace page and could easily see he found God. He had a country song by George Straight playing. It was talking about how he "Saw God today!". Later as I went to my office in Iraq, I sort of noticed the sun was shinning, sky was clear, no BOOMS! Just a few Apaches over head. I wasn't really looking forward to what ever today was going to bring my way, but it would be another day down soon enough. I got to my desk to see if I had any bad guys to look into. Nope! Fumbled around with some college, and checked all my emails. Then the phone rings. It's my wife. Like normal everything stops. Then, well, I saw God today.

My little Peanut, Sydney, as you know was born with some kidney issues. One has been dead for some time, and she needs surgery to remove it, take out other things, and then repair her bladder. This was to take about three surgeries each about a month apart. I said I saw God today. I also said, "WAS to take three surgeries!".

My wife took Sydney in for some test and ultrasounds a few days ago. The doctor called her today to fill her in on what he found. He saw God too. Sydneys "Dead" kidney is working at 90%, producing urine, and his words, "cant explain it, she couldn't look better". She'll still have to have her bladder repaired, but that can wait, and is no where as serious as the kidney issue.

I know alot of people have been praying for her. Most I don't even know. I wish I did though. I prayed each night that God would take care of my peanut. That he would see that she would be fine. I knew all along she would be OK, that she would have to have the procedures, and then off to her normal life. But, for her to have to go through it? It hurt. I trusted in him, and again he has not let me down. My wife has been at home with her. Since I deployed she has had to stay in the hospital a number of times. My wife is the strongest individual I have ever known!

So, after I hung up I made my way to the chapel. I walked in the same sun, under the same clear sky, and still saw the same Apaches over head. Thing were obviously a bit different this time. My sunglasses were on, but my cheeks weren't dry, and I didn't care! I had to be alone for a moment. Had to do things my way. I had to get it out. Now, I had to get it out to you! Prayer works! He's real.
