Miracle 21: An Answer in the 11th Hour

This inspiring miracle is from a mother of four boys living in Georgia. I adore her.


My husband was serving in the army in upstate New York when he discovered that his unit would have to go to Bosnia for a year of duty. We were anxious and discouraged because the date he would have to leave was only 2 weeks after our second son was due to be born. My husband did everything he physically could do to find someone else to take his place. He petitioned everyone of his higher ranking officers. Most importantly, we fasted and prayed and prayed some more that Heavenly Father would intervene. We felt strongly that him leaving for a year would be detrimental to our family. As the date approached, we grew more frantic, but tried to trust in the Lord and His will for our family. The day before he was scheduled to leave, bags packed, a young soldier transferred to his unit. Not only was he willing to take my husband's place, but he was eager to get the extra pay. He didn't have a family nor any other commitments.

This event was truly a miracle in our family. It taught us several things: The Lord loves us and is aware of our situations and knows us perfectly. Second, sometimes the Lord tests us and the answer doesn't come until the 11th hour. I know God lives and loves us and is aware of our every need and the desires of our hearts.

There can be miracles when you believe in God.
