Okay, this happened a long time ago, but that's okay. It's still awesome.
About 6 months after I was born, I was diagnosed with chronic idiopathic neutropenia, because my parents noticed I got sick a lot, and it would take me a while to recover. I was given a shot every day to keep me alive.
This disease reduces the amount of a certain type of white blood cell that fights infection in your body from about 3000 per square milliliter to less than 1500. A normal person has around three thousand. My family had been praying for me ever since they realized something was wrong. When I was eight, I had a routine blood test to see how things were. The results came back the next day - 5000 per square milliliter. I hope I don't have to remind you the normal is 3000. =D Of course it isn't 5000 all the time, but I think that it was God saying 'Yeah, that was Me.' =)
EDIT: Oh, and I have a prayer request too. The sister of someone in my youth group has a tumor right under her eye. It's cancerous. The doctors can't treat it until it's a certain size, but there's a possibility she'll go blind when it reaches that size too, so please pray for her, and her family too.
