Do You Believe In Miracles?

I wasn't planning to post tonight. But that was before I stopped by my friend Kelly's blog and watched the amazing video that she put together to celebrate her daughter Kate's third birthday. It is a reminder of all that Kate has survived during her three short years.

Kate's story is nothing less than a miracle. She was born 14 weeks early and weighed less than two pounds. I followed her progress from afar as she would take the proverbial "two steps forward and one step" back during the 86 days that she spent in the hospital finishing the development and growth that should have occurred in the womb. She was feisty and defied the odds.

Tomorrow, she will turn three. And someday she's going to give Ina a run for her money as Kate will no doubt be hosting her own cooking show on the Food Network. She's got a passion for cooking, and I hope to taste her creations soon!

If you have a chance, click on the video link above. You'll be reminded that God has definitely not retired from the business of working miracles.

K - You are welcome. God has done amazing things with that little girl, and I look forward to watching her grow up and tell others her story.
