1
00:00:01,399 --> 00:00:04,839
Speaker 1: So after that episode aired, we received an email from

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,759
somebody unexpected, a first responder who arrived at this scene

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,320
that night, and this email just took my breath away.

4
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: My full title is former Deputy Chief with Damer and

5
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:24,679
Valley Fire Rescue.

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,879
Speaker 3: This is The Miracle Files. I'm Emily Jones.

7
00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 4: And I'm Holly Worthington.

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: We're two sisters who love a captivating true story, but

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,119
we're also seeking more light in our lives.

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,799
Speaker 3: So we're on a mission to find and share unforgettable,

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,520
uplifting stories of God's miracles. We hope you'll join us

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,159
on this journey.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Miracle Files. Today we're going to

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,159
do something a little different. So one of the greatest

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,479
blessings of doing this podcast is that we get so

16
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:00,560
many miracle stories sent to us from all over the

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,079
world every single day.

18
00:01:02,679 --> 00:01:04,879
Speaker 3: And I love it when I get a notification on

19
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:07,239
my phone a new miracle has come in, Like, I know,

20
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,079
I'm going to open this email and find this really

21
00:01:09,079 --> 00:01:09,760
cool story.

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 4: Yeah. But one of the hardest.

23
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 3: Things about this job is so hard we can't tell

24
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:19,079
every story. I know.

25
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: We are only two people. We wish we had clones.

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,239
I know somebody work on that for.

27
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:24,799
Speaker 4: It more time.

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: We need more time, yes, but these stories have meant

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,920
so much to us and we don't want to just

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,480
keep them all to ourselves. No, And so we thought

31
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:36,239
it would be fun to just read some of the

32
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:39,439
emails that we've gotten, some of the amazing miracle stories,

33
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:41,840
maybe the shorter ones that we could share with you today,

34
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,000
just to share as many miracles as possible.

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,159
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, so let's jump in.

36
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: Our first story comes from Alf Yeah like the Alien

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,040
back in the day, If you guys remember that show,

38
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:58,200
Alf sly Hoff who shared with us a story, a

39
00:01:58,239 --> 00:02:01,680
miraculous story about his three month old son, Gabe. So

40
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:05,000
here's an excerpt from that email. I was sitting in

41
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,400
my office at home doing paperwork when I paused to

42
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,879
watch my sports show. The time was eleven thirty PM.

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,479
I heard my wife shortly after moving around upstairs and

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,680
then running down the stairs and opening the door to

45
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:19,800
my office. She had Gabe in her arms and he

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,560
was blue. His lips were blue, something that is still

47
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:27,080
ingrained in my head to this day. I grabbed him

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,919
and did CPR on his little three month old body.

49
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:32,960
He started to breathe and was rushed to the hospital.

50
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,360
But here's the miracle. My wife got up from a

51
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:40,680
dead sleep at exactly eleven thirty and went to his

52
00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:43,719
crib and touched his cheek, which felt cold.

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,039
Speaker 4: And it started with what the hospital.

54
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: Attendants called a miraculous event, coincidental, mother's intuition, insanely lucky,

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,039
or a bunch of other stuff. But I would not

56
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,759
have used miraculous to describe it until I checked my voicemail.

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,280
My boss at the time, a great Christian man, had

58
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:06,360
left me a voicemail at six that morning. Alf This

59
00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:08,960
may sound weird, but I just wanted to check on Gabe.

60
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,080
I've never had a feeling like this before, but I

61
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:15,080
was urged to pray for him at eleven thirty last

62
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,159
night and just want to make sure everything is okay.

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,360
The voicemail is what made it a miracle.

64
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 4: To me.

65
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:26,319
Speaker 1: It proved the power of prayer, coincidence or any other thing.

66
00:03:26,479 --> 00:03:29,360
Cannot explain it other than God.

67
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,879
Speaker 3: Wow, what a gift to know that this was a miracle.

68
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,520
Like obviously his wife waking up was a miracle, yeah,

69
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,240
but then to have this extra cherry on top, to

70
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,800
have his boss reiterate so nos yeah.

71
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:47,759
Speaker 1: And to know that it happened in exactly eleven thirty Yeah,

72
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:51,280
that his boss had that feeling and his wife woke up.

73
00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, amazing, it is amazing. Okay, So our next.

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: Email is actually a follow up to one of our episodes.

75
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: Some of you may remember.

76
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: Callie's story was episode fifty two, and if you don't

77
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,000
know her story, basically, after get together with friends, she

78
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,560
caught a ride home with someone who ended up driving

79
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,759
over one hundred miles per hour. They crashed the car

80
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:19,439
and rolled fifteen times over three hundred feet. So sad,

81
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,839
and somehow Calli and her friend Hayley survived miraculously.

82
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was so miraculous.

83
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: And so after that episode aired, we received an email

84
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:35,000
from somebody unexpected, a first responder who arrived.

85
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 4: At this scene that night.

86
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: His name is Chief Ryan Dan Brogio, and this email

87
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,600
just took my breath away.

88
00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:45,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So here's what it starts off with. Good afternoon,

89
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,600
My name is Ryan. I just got finished watching episode

90
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,639
fifty two, and I was the incident commander in the

91
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,040
first arriving unit on that incident. That was a very

92
00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:59,360
traumatic incident for my on duty firefighters that night and

93
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,800
probably when the most horrific rollovers I've seen in fifteen

94
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:03,560
years on the job.

95
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: And just to interject here, he also sent us a

96
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:09,600
quick video describing the scene that he encountered that night.

97
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:15,399
Speaker 2: My full title is former Deputy chief with Dammer and

98
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:18,319
Valley Fire Rescue. When I arrived on scene, it was

99
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:22,120
a first arriving unit and we do get a lot

100
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,199
of vehicle accidents in that general area. I at first

101
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,600
was unable to locate the vehicle due to the location.

102
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,920
It was located approximately one hundred one hundred and fifty

103
00:05:31,959 --> 00:05:36,240
yards off the roadway. It had no lights or anything

104
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,160
like that. The motor and battery were ripped out from

105
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:45,160
the engine compartment and were laying somewhere different. In my

106
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,480
fifteen years of experience, that is the worst accident I

107
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,800
have seen due to the trauma of the patients and

108
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:55,560
the violentness of the rollover itself.

109
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: Oh that's horrible.

110
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,639
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wait did he say a hundred fifty feet? He

111
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,000
said one hundred and fifty yards?

112
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:05,399
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, that makes more sense because I was like,

113
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:07,240
I think it was three hundred feet right, Okay.

114
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, never mind. Yeah, but it's crazy.

115
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,079
Speaker 3: I mean, he talks about how horrific this accident is

116
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,920
and the fact that anyone survived it was amazing. But

117
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,079
he didn't really know what happened to the people who

118
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,519
were in the car until he listened to this episode

119
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:26,000
on our podcast. And so here's what the rest of

120
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,560
his email says. I just want to express that I

121
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,839
have shared your interview with those firefighters and they are

122
00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:35,439
grateful to know the story after we sent the patients

123
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,199
to the hospital. One thing with our job is that

124
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,120
we never truly know what happens after the rescue is made.

125
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:45,759
So I appreciate it. Thank you for that that wow,

126
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,800
so cool, so cool, and that he found it.

127
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: We don't think about that sometimes, that these guys don't

128
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,879
get to hear what happened after the fact because of

129
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:56,199
all the hip us stuff, and they don't get to

130
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,160
know what happens to the people that they help after

131
00:06:59,199 --> 00:06:59,600
the fact.

132
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, and yeah, they're probably a part of so many

133
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:05,079
miracles that they're just not even aware of. Yeah.

134
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's kind of a miracle in

135
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:09,399
and of itself that they came across this episode so

136
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:12,120
that he could share this with the first responders that

137
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,079
were there that night. And I agree, who bless so

138
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:18,639
many lives with their courage and bravery. And you know,

139
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,600
sometimes we have people say things like, well, was it

140
00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:24,279
God or was it the first responders? And I always

141
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:28,519
say two things can be true, you know both exactly

142
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,160
for sure.

143
00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 4: I think they were hand in hand.

144
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: And I think those first responders are definitely angels in

145
00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:35,000
a lot of people's lives.

146
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you for what you do. Everyone absolutely Okay.

147
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: So our next story comes from a woman named Nancy

148
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:50,920
Palmer from Nova Scotia, Canada, and Nancy wrote, my husband David, myself,

149
00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:53,839
and a number of family members attended the Christmas Eve

150
00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:57,759
Mass at our church. After the mess, we both lingered behind,

151
00:07:57,839 --> 00:08:00,879
wishing some parishioners a merry Christmas, and by the time

152
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,319
we left the church, most people were already gone on

153
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,839
their way. The roads were very quiet that evening, and

154
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:10,800
it was dark and cold and snowing. We approached an

155
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:13,360
intersection and came upon a red light, so of course

156
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:16,279
we were slowing down to make a stop. Just before

157
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:19,680
we completely stopped, we felt a very loud bang from

158
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,040
our vehicle. We had absolutely no idea what it was,

159
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:25,720
but because we were almost to a stop, we were

160
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,639
at least safe. We quickly discovered that whatever had happened,

161
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,080
our car wouldn't drive. We looked at each other and thought,

162
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,840
what do we do on a late Christmas Eve businesses

163
00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:41,080
closed and stuck in an intersection. We didn't get much

164
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,480
of an opportunity to react, because a moment later, a

165
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:47,360
gentleman knocked on our window asking if we needed help.

166
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,440
Turns out he was driving a tow truck. We told

167
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,919
him what had happened, and he insisted on towing our

168
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,879
car back to our home. He had his fiance in

169
00:08:56,919 --> 00:08:59,200
his truck, so there was no room for us, but

170
00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:01,600
we gave him our address and he towed it home.

171
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:05,440
Immediately behind the tow truck was a city police vehicle.

172
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,279
The officer got out to see what was happening, and

173
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,879
he helped the tow truck driver get our vehicle ready

174
00:09:10,879 --> 00:09:13,879
to tow, and had his police lights on to make

175
00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:17,759
sure everyone was safe on the dark roads. Coincidentally, our

176
00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:20,840
vehicle died one city block away from my parents' home,

177
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,200
and they had a spare car we could use over

178
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,360
the Christmas season, as most businesses would be closed during

179
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,039
the season. We believe that the way the breakdown unfolded

180
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,840
was a little miracle. We left the church. Our car

181
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:36,360
broke down while we were driving very slow, so we

182
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,799
were safe. A tow truck was immediately behind us and

183
00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:43,399
insisted on helping us. A police car was directly behind

184
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:47,200
him and was able to offer assistance. And our vehicle

185
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,799
broke down just by my parents' house, so we were

186
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,080
able to access another car easily. The transmission died in

187
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,399
our car in that moment, but everything lined up too

188
00:09:57,519 --> 00:09:59,960
perfectly for it to not have been a miracle.

189
00:10:00,919 --> 00:10:03,759
Speaker 1: I love that, and I love both the simplicity of

190
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:06,320
this story, but I also love that they acknowledge that

191
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,120
it's a miracle.

192
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I mean not every miracle is like

193
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,080
a life or death situation. I think they just recognize

194
00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:17,960
that God helped them on this Christmas evening, and yeah.

195
00:10:17,759 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 4: They're on little Christmas miracle for sure.

196
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,279
Speaker 3: And I think that when we recognize miracles, we start

197
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,519
to notice them all around us and experience them.

198
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: So important to recognize these moments and not just write

199
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,840
them off as coincidence.

200
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 4: Yeahtely Okay.

201
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: So this next story is from a man named Gary,

202
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,799
and it's another one where he felt guided and protected

203
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,600
while he was driving too in two thousand and six,

204
00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:44,919
I was going through a tough divorce, and I went

205
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,679
through a period of days without sleeping more than an

206
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,039
hour or two. I was on a two hour drive

207
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,080
late at night, returning home on I eighty five between

208
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,720
North Carolina and Virginia.

209
00:10:55,399 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 4: Last thing I recall before falling.

210
00:10:57,039 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: Asleep was there was absolutely no cars in sight, and

211
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:02,919
I was in the right lane. When I woke up,

212
00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:05,039
my hands were in my lap and I saw the

213
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,759
wheel moving slightly left. As I jerked awake, I looked up.

214
00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:11,480
I was passing a car on the left and there

215
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,600
were a couple of other cars in front of that one.

216
00:11:14,159 --> 00:11:17,679
I then grabbed the steering wheel, composed myself, and realized

217
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,000
what had just occurred. After contemplating what happened over the

218
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,919
following days, I truly believe there was no other explanation

219
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,919
than an angel. Perhaps my guardian angel intervened and steered

220
00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:33,399
me away from a terrible accident that night. Wow, that

221
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:36,279
reminds me of when Mom. Do you remember Mom's story

222
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:39,320
when she was driving and she fell asleep, And it's

223
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:41,240
kind of funny. Her story cracks me up because she

224
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:43,919
felt like somebody slapped her in the face and woke

225
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,399
her up.

226
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 4: So I have not even heard this story. Oh you haven't. No,

227
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,600
you have to ask her about it.

228
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: She literally says someone slapped her in the face and

229
00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:53,000
woke her up. And I'm like, okay, apparently that is

230
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,039
sometimes Guardian Angel slap you in the face if they

231
00:11:56,039 --> 00:11:56,399
had to.

232
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,879
Speaker 3: But yeah, it is such a sweet story because obviously

233
00:12:00,879 --> 00:12:03,360
he's going through this very vulnerable time in his life

234
00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:05,720
and to just have that little reminder that.

235
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,919
Speaker 4: God is sticking out for you. God will still be

236
00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:08,639
a part of Yes.

237
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think that's why we experience these things. It's

238
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,960
just kind of that, as people say a godwink, you know,

239
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,759
God is saying, hey, I'm here, I got you.

240
00:12:17,919 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 4: Yeah.

241
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Okay, So we have one more story to share

242
00:12:21,879 --> 00:12:25,480
with you. This last story was submitted by Lacey Mick

243
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:29,679
Menimon Menimon, I Menemon.

244
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:31,639
Speaker 4: Sorry, we slaughtered your name. I'm sorry. I'm sure I'm

245
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,440
pronouncing it wrong. I'm so sorry, Lacey.

246
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,919
Speaker 3: But this is an excerpt from her email describing a

247
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:43,080
miracle that her five year old son, Jaden experienced. Lacey wrote,

248
00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:47,519
on February two, twenty thirteen, we were at home preparing

249
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,279
for my dad's birthday celebration. Jaden kept complaining that his

250
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,279
tummy hurt, but I initially thought he was just trying

251
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:59,519
to avoid doing his chores. Valid As the day progressed, however,

252
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,799
pain got worse to the point where he couldn't stand

253
00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:06,919
up straight and bent over double. When my husband returned,

254
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,559
we both agreed Jaden needed to be seen, so my

255
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:13,000
husband took him straight to mary Bridge Children's Hospital. The

256
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:16,240
birthday party went on as planned, but beneath the celebration,

257
00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:19,480
we were all worried and waiting to hear what was happening.

258
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:22,879
When the call finally came in, my husband delivered the

259
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:26,519
news that shattered our world. The doctors had found a

260
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,679
mass in Jaden's abdomen. Oh no, we were completely devastated

261
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,000
and shocked. Up until that phone call, we thought the

262
00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:39,799
worst case scenario was just pendicitis without hesitation. We rushed

263
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,759
to the hospital to be by his side. When we

264
00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:46,200
arrived and walked into his ear room, we witnessed something

265
00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:49,720
that can only be described as a profound intervening by God.

266
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:54,840
Jaden was bouncing off the walls, running around, chatting happily

267
00:13:54,879 --> 00:13:57,799
with his grandparents, and playing with the small toys and

268
00:13:57,919 --> 00:14:01,919
krans the nurses had given him. The excruciating pain that

269
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,919
had left him bent doubled over just an hour before

270
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,679
was completely gone, passing like temporary gas pains. If we

271
00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:12,840
had hesitated for even ten minutes at home, thinking he

272
00:14:12,919 --> 00:14:15,799
was fine, or choosing to wait and see, the pain

273
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,279
would have subsided and we would never have detected the cancer.

274
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,000
God perfectly orchestrated the timing of that pain, making sure

275
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:26,759
it flared up exactly when it did so we could

276
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:30,279
take him to the hospital and from there.

277
00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: Jaden underwent an intense battle with stage four Wilm's tumor,

278
00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:39,879
including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, and despite the severity and

279
00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:43,639
the spread of the cancer, his body responded remarkably well.

280
00:14:43,919 --> 00:14:47,960
Tumors shrank significantly, Surgeons were able to remove the effect

281
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,320
of kidney and remaining cancer, and treatment continued for eight

282
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:55,120
to nine months until he was declared cancer free.

283
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:55,639
Speaker 4: Wow.

284
00:14:55,879 --> 00:14:59,879
Speaker 1: Lacey describes his recovery as nothing short of miraculous, writing

285
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,279
today he is a happy, thriving, nineteen year old senior,

286
00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:07,399
graduating and ready to take on life, all thanks to God.

287
00:15:08,039 --> 00:15:12,200
It's a miracle beyond human understanding. This complete healing is

288
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,799
one hundred percent the work of God, who orchestrated everything

289
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,120
to spare his life.

290
00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I can mean imagine a five year old boy

291
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,600
with stage four cancer so hard, that is so tragic,

292
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,759
and yet God did everything he could to let them

293
00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:32,200
know in time so they were able to save his way.

294
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: Clearly, this little guy's story was not done being written yet.

295
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:36,919
Speaker 4: No, not at all.

296
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: But let me say, we do know that there are

297
00:15:39,159 --> 00:15:41,399
those of you out there that are hoping for a

298
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,600
miracle and we are praying for you or praying with you.

299
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,720
Contact us and let us know what you're going through too,

300

and we will, we truly will pray for you. But

301
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,159
also for those of you who are going through something

302
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,519
where you don't receive the miracle, because we've all had

303
00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:59,279
those moments too where the miracle doesn't come. I just

304
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,480
want to reader that God is still part of your

305
00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:05,679
story too, and he's still aware of you, and he

306
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,639
still loves you, and he is still good no matter what.

307
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and sometimes it's in his timing and sometimes it

308
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,960
merely is just helping you get through a really hard

309
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,360
time and giving you hold and comfort in those hard moments.

310
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 4: So absolutely agree, God is always good.

311
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,159
Speaker 1: Well, this is just a glimpse of the many miraculous

you with a little laugh, we want to read you

318
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,360
a few of the funny aka mean messages that we

319
00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:48,720
have gotten over the years.

320
00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no miracles.

321
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,919
Speaker 1: We've had to grow some really thick skin from this podcast.

322
00:16:58,279 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 3: Yeah okay, So here are some of the kind of

323
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:02,639
funny mean messages that we've gotten.

324
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 4: Hopefully this gives you laugh.

325
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:07,599
Speaker 3: The first one is this was really interesting to listen to,

326
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,559
except for the two chicks voices are horrible. I want

327
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:13,680
to stab myself in the ears to make it stop.

328
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:16,480
Imagine being married to them and having to listen to

329
00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:17,279
that all day.

330
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 4: Imagine being married to them.

331
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: It must be the worst four husbands they have to

332
00:17:22,759 --> 00:17:24,000
listen to us all the two.

333
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:28,079
Speaker 4: So sorry, honey that my voice is so awful. Okay,

334
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:28,880
here's another one.

335
00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 3: Uh, your thumbnail needs to be about the story, not

336
00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:33,720
YouTube dorks.

337
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,559
Speaker 4: That's probably true.

338
00:17:35,559 --> 00:17:38,559
Speaker 3: Logo looks like two sad pumpy dogs begging for food.

339
00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:42,039
Speaker 4: And we did change our logo after that.

340
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: Just that was our old logo. I don't know if

341
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,119
our new one's any better, but hey, we try.

342
00:17:48,759 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 3: And then the last one says it's pronounced lure. Sure,

343
00:17:54,519 --> 00:17:56,920
great story, but I mean, come on, who doesn't know

344
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,799
how to pronounce the word lure?

345
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 4: Apparently us? Since wen I'm not a fisherman. Sorry, I'll

346
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,680
say it better next time. Next time she will say lure.

347
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,079
But yeah, we do get.
