Sweet Miracle

Just look at this treasure.  Her name is Miracle and she was born with a windswept leg.  She's 3 years old and has been a patient here on the Africa Mercy these past few months. 

I did an impromptu interview in the laundry room with Justine, my friend and one of the ship's photographers.  Justine said that Miracle is such a sweet and spunky little girl.  They started calling her "little peanut" - because she's tiny and little like a peanut!  Justine said Miracle tends to suck on her fingers when she's nervous and that it was fun to watch this little peanut come out of her shell. 

Thought you might like to see a bit of Miracle's journey through these pictures.  (The progression of hair styles is one of my favorite parts!)  Many thanks to our amazing Comms team for taking so many wonderful pictures and making them available for the crew to use!  

Our faithful Father, through the work of skilled surgeons, nurses and physical therapists, has made straight what was crooked...and now there's a beautiful little girl who can run and play and climb trees with all the rest of the kiddos.  A miracle for Miracle. A miracle for all of us to get to see God's hope and healing in such a real and tangible way.  

Surely there will be more to come.
