The Miracles
Miracle 1

I prayed every day and night. I was very scared and no longer felt that the healing was going to take place without supreme intervention. So I called on God often. I kept asking for the same thing.

"Dear Heavenly Father please listen to my prayers. Please Lord; heal me for I am sick. I don't want to lose my leg. Please Lord, I beg for you to take this infection away. You are the only one I can turn to. The doctors have tried. But they can't help me. "

Amazing how the power of God can change any scene from gloom to light. My friend Rachel came over and asked me if I would like to go to the beach. I was still unable to walk and feared my mom would say no.

"Rachel, my mom is not home." I explained.

"My dad will call her now." she picked up the phone and handed it to me.

"Dial her work phone and my dad will ask her." she smiled.

I phoned my mother at work and asked her if I could go to the beach.

She said, "Hell no your leg wound has not healed, you can't walk, you can't get sand in your wound."

"Please mom! I want to go! I never go anywhere. I just sit here everyday and do nothing. Please?" begging and crying.

"NO, damn it!" she refused.

Rachel's dad said, "Hand me the phone"

"Pam, I can carry Victoria all the way to the sand. She will be in good hands. She needs to get out of the house. She is very pale and skinny."

Mumbled yelling sounds came from her end of the phone. Rachel's dad hung up the phone.

"Sorry kiddo, mom said no, and she is pissed at me. Come on Rachel let's go." grabbing her hand as they left the room.

I was very upset and yelled out please don't leave!" I called out for them to stop. They both came back to the room. I stood up and began to walk over to them and the both of them looked at me strange.

“Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked them.

Rachel spoke, "Dad look" pointing at me.

Rachel's dad yelled out, "Oh my God!"

"What is it!?" I demanded.

"Be careful Victoria, you're standing on your own without the crutches." said while he slowly walked over to me.

"Huh" I looked down.

In shock I fell over and Rachel's Dad caught me.

“I can't believe what I just saw!" shaking his head.

"I can't believe it either" said Rachel.

"Try to do it again.” he asked.

"I stood up and took a step then another" shaking heavily.

"It's a miracle!" Rachel grabbed the phone and said, "Call your mother back!"

I dialed the phone number and asked for my mother.

"What is it Victoria? Don't even think of asking me to go to the beach!" she warned.

"Mom you’re not going to believe this, but I just walked." I said with excitement.

"That's not going to work Victoria, you have to stay home. Stop this behavior now!"

I turned to Rachel and her father, "She doesn't believe me!" laughing and handed the phone to Rachel's Dad.

"Yep it's true, we were leaving and she stood up and took her first steps. She didn't even know she was standing until we told her." he explained with a big smile.

"I wish I had a camera when it happened" looking at me as he described everything over and over.

Rachel and her dad decided to not go to the beach. Instead, they stayed with me all day until my mother came home from work.

When my mom came home we all went out for dinner to celebrate.
