Dear Friends, Please take a moment to pray for this precious family. Heather suffered an aneurism during her pregnancy and has been basically "asleep" now for 3 years now. She is not brain dead because she can squeeze a hand for yes or no answers and she has whispered her husband and sons names. They have been praying for a miracle. I have been keeping up with this sweet family on fb. Please also  pray for strength for her husband Sean. He is working 2 jobs to keep her health insurance and the family a float. He is a godly man and has stayed by her side through all of this. The Lord has put this on my heart this morning and I know there is a reason. I know miracles happen when we ALL pray.Let's ALL pray for Heather believing that GOD will awake from her slumber and that John and Sean can have her back with them again. Please Father God let Heather Brown wake up!!!! People magazine is doing a feature article on them too....... Please fall to prayers wherever you are...
