This morning, we got to do Facetime with an aunt, uncle, cousin, her husband, and her baby boy! SO SO cool to see family that you haven't talked with for almost 6 years. And to meet your cousin's husband... and their MOST ADORABLE BABY that looks just like your younger sister when she was a baby. Really wish we thought to use video-chat earlier, since we knew we both had iPads. *rolls eyes at self*
Anywho... on to how God answered prayer. Like I said, my cousin had a baby about 6 months ago. Everything was splendid until her mammary glands got infected and TZJ (his initials) could not feed on his mother's milk. Just so you know, a couple years ago, a scandal was surfaced where baby formula was found to have been poisoned by manufacturers to add mass and increase "protein" levels. Several baby's deaths were traced back to this formula and my cousin was really hesitant to feed her baby that.
So, my Mom and I searched the grocery stores for good, organic baby formula, and shipped about 10 boxes ($100 in shipping costs) hurriedly to Beijing.
And of course, we prayed all the while, that my cousin would be healed and that TZJ would eat the new milk (some babies can be picky at an early age).
Not sure of the specific time periods, but this morning, after talking with my cousin, we found out that after TZJ finished about 2 boxes, my cousin was healed and she could breastfeed again. And NOT only that, she has SO much milk, they have 2 freezerfuls and are giving some extras to neighbors! Is God not good and gracious? He did MORE than we asked for! Hallelujah!
I feel really really happy!
So - anything in anyone else's life that shows God does more than we expect and it's amazing and great?
