Miracles Among Us

So I posted 3 weeks ago about some devastating events that were happening. Things didn't turn out the way we thought they would.

Hope Abigail Gordon (Baby Abby) was born on September 23rd, 2010. She was born with a condition called Trisomy 18 and wasn't expected to live but a couple of hours. But, once again, we all put God in a box and God stepped out of that box in a big way. Abby lived among us for 12 days and touched people around the world. A wonderful couple, Randy and Ellen Olive, photographed her journey each and every day and shared her life with us on their blog, www.oliveourmoments.com. Additionally, Melinda Gordon, Abby's Mommy, shared her thoughts on her own blog, www.hopeabigail.blogspot.com. You should go read about this amazing little girl. It is awesome to follow an actual miracle. Every single breath she took was a miracle. Every time she opened her eyes it was a miracle. She was so strong and absolutely one of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen in my life. While my heart breaks for the Gordons and all the many family members and friends that Abby touched, I am comforted by the fact that this little girl came to earth for 12 days, and completed her mission for God. It would be interesting to know how many people actually came to Jesus because of Abby. I bet there are many. The incredible faith that the Gordon's had before, during and after Abby's life is an amazing testament to God's enduring grace and love.

Anyway, there is the update. The sadness is gone and the celebration of Abby's life has begun.

Until next time.....
