Doctors said my 6 year old brother would never walk or talk again after suffering multiple strokes and a brain hemmorage. Last year, 17 years later, he graduated college and is now a professional photographer. His speech is fine too.
About 8 years ago, in a blizzard, I got off the expressway ramp going 5 miles an hour. My car fishtailed 3 times and I ended up on the right shoulder of the road facing traffic. In my rear view mirror I saw a semi, who apparently had tried to avoid hitting me, crash into the median, flipped over, and the trailer broke in half. Somehow, the man driving and his wife got out of the truck unschathed. My car was never hit.
I don't know if these could be considered miracles by Biblical standards. My mom's only gone to church a handful of times since I've been born, but she thinks they are.
There's several times I should have died myself, other than the incident above, and yet somehow, I'm still here. Truthfully, I don't even care much for myself and there's times that I wish that one of those instances had been my last, and I find myself wondering "why me"? Surely it can't be because I'm special. Is it complete chance and mere coincidence that I'm still here, or is there some greater power that finds it amusing to put me in these situations and nearly end it all only to pull me from the fire at the very last minute, over and over again?
And these are just the experiences of some nobody suburbanite from middle America. I'm sure things which qualify as miracles happen every day. As to whether it's merely chance and everything is random or there is a higher power which is in charge, I couldn't say. I'm to busy contemplating that myself and the more questions I ask the more I end up having. Good for you for at least thinking about it though. Too many people either blindly believe because they were told to or don't believe at all becasue they were told not to believe.
