Logan’s Miracle Room

---

Welcome to Logan’s Miracle Room.

• This is the room in which God’s miracle of a little baby boy named Logan was performed.
• This is the room where thousands of people joined in prayer daily to our Heavenly Father asking Him to let us keep this precious little baby.
• This room has seen many tears in the bad times when we were begging God to let him survive, and it’s seen much laughter in those good times when he was making progress.
• This is the room where people from all over the world came to know Logan and became familiar with his struggle to live.
• In this room we saw a tiny micro-preemie baby weighing only 1 lb 9oz, with less than a 20% chance of survival become a healthy, blue-eyed testament to God’s love.

We were all a part of this miracle through our prayers for his healing, and we thank God for the blessing received from being chosen to be a part of Logan’s life.

 

We ask that you come forth with your sick little ones and loved ones.
Tell us about the sickness, and your grief and your sorrow and your dread for tomorrow.

We understand.

We’ve been there, too.
Join with us and experience the power of prayer.

With God, all things are possible.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the story of your miracle re-birth, TC. God surely loves you and knows that your inspirational story will stir the hearts of all who hear it. May love and joy abound in your life this Christmas season and all the seasons of your life.

"My husband is an alcoholic "

With that sentence, Tiki, I know you have been there.
Most spouses would rather say, "My husband used to be an alcoholic..."
You learned through Al-Anon that once you're a pickle, you'll never be a cucumber again.
God did perform a miracle with you and yours - not on your timetable, but on His. He works in mysterious, wonderful ways!

Thank you, friends, for being here for my birthday celebration.
In remembering God's miracles, I have to tell you one more:
The lady who first knocked on my door in Singapore (and the one whom I had called, "bitch", just a few minutes earlier on the telephone) was the largest woman I had ever seen.
Mattie stood six feet, eight inches tall and weighed probably 250 pounds. She was an alcoholic.
Her husband was about five feet six inches tall and might have weighed 120 pounds before he dried off. He was a regular member of Al-Anon.
Mattie had a voice that sounded like a semi being driven across a gravel bed.

About six years before I met Mattie she had tied her husband to a chair in their home in Liverpool during a drunken rage and burned the house down around him.
Her husband escaped, but they sentenced Mattie to ten years in prison for attempted murder.

Mattie found God in prison, and she got sober - physically, mentally and spiritually.
She formed the first AA group in that prison, and shared her story with countless people.
She was released after only five years served because of her work with the inmates who were alcoholics.
Her husband waited for her those five years.
I heard Mattie speak a number of times at Speaker's Meetings, and the transformation which came over her when she began to share was awesome.
That very deep, gravelly voice became soft as cotton, and her eyes shined with the love of God.
She had the ability to let her voice roll over the audience like a warm blanket, and everyone knew that everything she said was straight from the heart.
We never left one of her talks with dry eyes.

The last time I saw Mattie and her husband, they were wrapped in each other's arms like always.
She held him to her enormous breasts like a child, and it was plain to anyone that they shared a love that few achieve.

God can and does work miracles in people's lives.
Let go and let God.

BTTT!!!!!

[PoisedWoman]

Bless you for sharing your wonderful Alanon story, tiki. I'm crying tears of joy for you.

Today is the anniversary of my father's death at age 53. Though he went to AA, he never succeeded in getting off the booze. It killed him. It eventually killed my mother. Others in my family as well. A real generational curse. Thank God the curse of alcoholism missed me, I just never liked the stuff much. I went to a therapist specializing in "adult children of alcoholics" and she called our family a "classic Eugene O'Neill tragedy." (Was that supposed to help me?)

Somehow the effects of alcoholism in the family continue to this day. I was not the greatest mother, very rebellious really, after "escaping" my alcoholic parents, I was just too full of my own needs to concentrate enough attention on my children. My daughter turned out fine and loves me to pieces, but my son struggled with alcoholism (apparently cured a couple of years ago but who knows) and some major emotional obstacles to becoming the terrific man God intends him to be. He occasionally just disconnects from me and his sister and the rest of his relatives. When he's riding high, he comes back, but when things turn down for him, like his loss of money in the dotbomb debacle, he crawls into some dark emotional hole and holds those who love him at bay. Now, for instance. Please join me in praying for Bill.

Anyway, tiki, this is a wonderful, perfect day to hear your glorious success story along with TC's. God performs miracles, some in a flash out of the blue, others over time that may seem interminable. I thank you both for your faithfulness and inspiration. And I continue to pray for all afflicted by addiction.

bump to the top

There is more to my miracle. My eldest son grew up to be an alcoholic. I had my Al-anon but it's different when it's your child, I think it hurts more because you tend to blame yourself even though you know better.

Along with the heredity, he was probably more affected than his younger brother by the dysfunction in the home. God's contiunuing miracle was that he married a wonderful woman who treats me just like I was her mother and she was willing to listen and learn and between them, they seem to have risen above the addiction. My son has been sober for 8 years and I am so proud of both of them.

I will continue to pray for your son and hope for a very wonderful Christmas for you and all your family.

[Maigrey]

Right back at you, Handsome Stranger!
I hope you have the love you deserve on your birthday!

(((((BIG HUGS)))))

[Brad’s Gramma]

I'm overwhelmed with your honesty, all three of you.

May God RICHLY bless your lives and those of your family(s). Thanks so much for sharing with us...for those actively on the thread, and those lurking. We may NEVER KNOW the impact of these testimonies.

God bless all of you! And MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

[HenryLeeII]

God bless you and your little miracle! I will definitely hug my daughter and son a little tighter tonight!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Millions know the love of God and are witness to His power.

Merry Christmas TexasCowboy.

[blackie]

Amen!

[blackie]

It works for me tiki ~ 28+ years of sobriety. :)

[blackie]

Thanks TC ~ Mattie's story brings tears of joy to my eyes ~ a powerful example of letting go and letting God!

Keep Coming Back ~ It Works!

[Dubya]

Praise the Lord and a very Merry Christmas to you COBI.

[Dubya]

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

[TexasCowboy]

Congratulations to you, blackie!

Remember when we couldn't even imagine twenty-eight hours much less days or weeks or....(gasp!) YEARS??!

Isn't it strange that we remember those little one line zingers the rest of our lives - the ones we learned when our brains couldn't understand anything with more than a few words??!

"Let go and let God"

"One day at a time"

"KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid!"

"First things first"

I'm sure you can think of a lot more.

Have a blessed Merry Christmas, old FRiend.

[MissAmericanPie]

Thank you TC for the wonderful testimony. Here's wishing you and your's a very blessed celebration of the birth of the One, who chose those that would be His own, from before the foundation of the Earth. Those to whom He gave the ability to love Him deeply and without hesitation.

Those who are forgiven much, love much and are greatful on a very deep level. So Merry Christmas from you sister in Christ Jesus, may God bless you as He leads you.

"she called our family a "classic Eugene O'Neill tragedy." '

Isn't it strange that so-called analysts don't have a clue about the misery of alcoholism?
Only people who have been there understand.
It is a family disease, and everyone in the family is infected, whether they drink or not.

What you won't find in scholarly articles about alcoholism is that the drinking of alcohol is not the problem - it's only a symptom of the problem, in much the same way that an elevated temperature is a symptom of the flu.
The problem is much deeper than getting drunk.
It's a mental and spiritual disease that manifests itself when the inhibitions are weakened with alcohol, but the problems are there, drunk or sober.
We concentrate on leaving that first drink alone because only in that way can we face and conquer the problems which cause the addiction.
After we get "dried out" we MUST work on the problems, or we will never have comfortable sobriety, and, more than likely, we WILL drink again.

Very few people have the spiritual awakening which took place in my soul on that alter twenty-one years ago, and I feel very blessed for having experienced it.
For most people it's a gradual acceptance of God's will, and the persistent use of the tools He provides for us to conquer this disease.
For most people, getting sober is the easy part.
Living sober requires constant and lifelong adherence to the principals involved in living according to God's will.

No one among us ever achieves spiritual perfection.
We simply claim progress on a day by day basis.

Thank you for trusting US to tell your inspirational story. God Bless you, dear friend.

Merry Christmas!!!

Hi, MAP!

I love this time of year, and I can say that even though I'll be working straight through Christmas Day.
I love it because so many people remember and talk about the Birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

I see it more this year than I can ever remember!
People coming by my rig mention it, and we discuss it.
That's happened very seldom in the past.
God's people are waking up!
There's a spirituality in the air that amazes me and fills me with wonder at His power.
In the oil field it's never been a common thing for someone to say, "Merry Christmas, brother. May God bless you", but it's common today.
I praise God for this blessing, and I look forward to seeing so many more manifestations of His love and grace.

God bless you, Sister in Christ.
May you have a blessed Merry Christmas.
