Testament of Faith

I know most of you have heard the sad story of the two girls whose identities were mistaken. They were both in an accident and one died while the other survived. The one that survived has been in a coma. It's been about a month since the girl who died was buried. Now, just this week, they've realized (as the girl in the coma has been recovering) that they mistook who was whom.

All this time, one family thought that their daughter was dead and has been grieving. Meanwhile, another has been fighting by "their" daughter's side and tracking her progress. The family was keeping a blog, which is hosted by the same site as mine, and wrote details about "their" daughter's progress.

It truly is an amazing story and I'd encourage you to read the blog of the young woman's progress. The family that thought their daughter was alive has such an amazing testimony, of which they write and praise God for everything.

Throughout the girl's recovery, they give Him the praise and even on the day (May 31st) where they write of discovering the truth about their own daughter (she was the one who died) they continue to praise Him.

The news has made little mention of the family's faith. However, it is the first thing that stands out on the family's page. If you think you can handle it, I encourage you to read some of the entries. I can't imagine the emotional roller coaster that both of these families have been on. Yet, He continues to receive the glory- what a testament of faith!!
