"Do you believe in miracles? The dictionary defines a miracle as a surprising event that is not explicable by nature or scientific laws, and is considered to be divine. Well I believe in miracles. They happen everyday all around the world. I believe that our God is an AWESOME God and that he has a purpose for everything that happens in our life." - Jennifer
This is Finley.
She was born a week ago with little to no heartbeat and very few signs of brain activity. Her parents are Noelle & Tim, and they have hope for their little girl. Since shortly after her birth she has been in a medically induced coma. Yesterday they received some heart breaking news - Finley's EEG results came in and they showed that her brain was flat. Even though the doctors have said Finley only has a one in a million chance to live, they are fighting for her, and a bunch of bloggers are too.
Being 8 months pregnant this story just grabbed my heart. A few of my good blogging friends brought it to my attention and now I want to share it with you - because with God all things are possible. This precious little girl has made it a week and who is to say that she cannot survive this?
I am asking you all to join in giving your thoughts and prayers to this family. You can see updates and learn more by click here to visit their Facebook page. Donations are also being collected on their behalf here.
This family needs a miracle. I was so touched by their post last night:"Tonight was Finley's one week birthday! She's made it this far and our little world changer is hanging on. God has not yet healed our baby girl, but we continue to press on and praise Him for such a blessing as Finley. Never before has my world been changed so drastically and so quickly.
We don't know whether The Lord will take our baby home to be with Him or heal her body, but either way, we will continue to praise Him. Our blessings are beyond number and our God is loving, our God faithful, and our God is able.
The last week has been, beyond doubt, the most painful, difficult week of our lives. And yet, the last week has been, beyond doubt, the most incredible, awesome week of our lives. One week ago, this little girl came charging into our lives and started changing our worlds before we ever even met her.
You might think a baby girl, born in a coma, completely limp and unresponsive couldn't have much impact on the world, but there's something special about her. After a week of watching people see her for the first time, and especially watching those who see her on a continual basis, it has become quite evident that Finley affects people in a supernatural way. It's like she shows them hope, despite her own dismal circumstance. She shows them joy, despite her parents' sorrow. She shows them life, despite her one in a million chance at survival.
Our little Finley is a world changer, and we would not trade the last week for anything."I will be praying for this family and spreading the word and I would love for you to join me! Gayle started a prayer link up for anyone who wants to share this story and join us in fighting for this precious little girl.Tweet #FightingForFinley
