The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:10 Seven years ago, and for several years after that, I found this verse to be questionable, if not, blatantly untrue. On August 22, 2019, my seven year old granddaughter, Eva, fell off the back of a golf cart and suffered a traumatic brain injury, leaving her with a life whose future looked far from abundant. In fact, it didn’t look even remotely possible.

We left early Tuesday morning and headed south. To Williamstown, Kentucky. We were two girls headed to see something spectacular. But what we saw and experienced went far beyond anything we could have ever imagined. The destination: The Ark Encounter. My friend, Sherri, and I were told we would see a lifesize replica of Noah’s Ark. But we were not prepared for the width and depth and detail of what we truly encountered. We stood at a distance from the ark and tried to take it

The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16 For the past 6 months I have been praying for Eva’s brain. And it isn’t, unlike the past, a prayer dependent on the outcome. (It took me about 6 years of battling God to get to this place.) I have simply stepped into His presence and asked God if He would continue to heal her. Either with ongoing healing, a complete healing or, wait for it…a new brain. Crazy sounding, I know. B
