Are you for real?

"Is that a video? That has to be fake... no way is that real! Are you serious?" a young lady proclaimed from the sonogram table.

This girl came into our EMC Brooklyn office with her sister and mother. The sister came rushing into the sonogram room to see before her eyes a 20 week-old baby! Ironically, the sister also asked if the ultrasound was a fake... they couldn't fathom that she was THAT far along... she wasn't even beginning to show!

At this moment, Linda the Brooklyn Center director, knew that this woman was going to need some convincing. She proceeded to ask God to work a miracle to show this woman that what she was seeing on the monitor was in fact her child within her womb.

"Do you want to hold your baby's hand? We're going to ask God to allow you to hold the baby's hand, " Linda said after this mother agreed to allow us to pray. Linda dropped to her knees and asked God for a miracle to allow this mother to connect with her baby in a real, and concrete way. As the mother placed her hand on her tummy, the sonogram monitor showed the baby reaching up towards the direction of its mother!

This sonogram photo captured that moment... one that allowed a young lady to face the reality of the child with in her... and it made all the difference.
