The Power of Prayer

Or.....why we never know the real meaning of what happens.
I have been following a blog that belongs to a girl named Kelly (thanks Paula D.) Kelly recently gave birth to a baby girl named Harper. Harper was a 9 + pound baby but developed breathing problems immediately. Harper has been on oxygen and asleep since she was born (I'm not sure about this but I guess they keep her asleep in order to not put excess pressure on her lungs?).
The numbers of people who have been praying for this baby are astronomical. And, when I go to check out Kelly's blog I am always uplifted by her faith that God has a plan, is in control and things will be okay. Kelly usually posts pictures on her blog and I've never seen one of her not smiling. She has smiled throughout this long ordeal and she is continually grateful to God for giving her a chance to share her faith. Kelly has reported that several people have contacted her and told her they were led to Christ through their visits to the "Praying for Harper" blog. So to all the nay sayers out there, blogs can accomplish great things and serve a real purpose.
Yesterday, Kelly posted that Harper was on a regular ventilator and she had her eyes open. God truly is good and does answer prayer. I am going to try to post the link to the praying for Harper site. You have to see this baby. If you didn't know she had problems you wouldn't believe it, she is a robust looking little lady. Prayer works, God works....it is only us that stands in the way.
