big time thanks/miracle:
[truly undeserved]
my husband had a memory card in his camera that held an entire wedding on it, 
the getting ready stages, through the ceremony, and up until it was time to take pictures with the entire wedding party, all on that small memory card. 
He came home that evening after a long day and to his horror, could not read the files on his camera, or his computer. Some flashing message about "unable to retrieve files.." 
scary. this was a client. if all those once in a life time pictures were lost?
to even think of it made us sick. 
we prayed fervently and nathan scrambled around calling others for wisdom and insight,
trying desperately to hack into the card via the computer and camera over and over again. 
He took it to the norman camera store, really as a last resort, hoping they could help in some way.
They seemed hopeful explaining they had 3 different software systems that could possibly read the card and gather the missing files. 
we prayed some more. lots of nail biting.
We drive back to the camera store and nathan is met with disappointed and sorrowful eyes.
"so sorry. I could not get to the files. no charge."
devastation starts to kick in.
He is going to have to tell the new couple that half their pictures are gone, he is going to have to refund 3000 dollars worth of damage, and his business name will probably be maimed and this can do no good for future clientele. 
so many blows.
That evening, he decides to try and download a software system himself, just to try. He has no idea, there is a charge of 100 dollars with no real guarantee the files can be retrieved.
He comes in the house and slams the door. 
I go to him.
He throws that fist in the air and says breathlessly,
"It's retrieving the files!! I can see the missing pictures!!"
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Praise Jesus. God is Good. God is Merciful. He answered our prayer. God is Good. I can't believe it. 
Come, listen, and hear what the Lord has done for us!
