God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. It can be hard to tell how tragedy will lead to goodness, how despair will transform into hope, and how the deepest canyons of doubt can give way to great vistas of inspiration. You just never know.
But here's a good example:
Jamie Mohr who was given a 10 percent chance of survival when he was born weighing just 1lb 8oz has defied the odds — and now is a genius prodigy at age 4.
Jamie's mom was told her placenta stopped working at 20-weeks and the baby was no longer getting the nutrients to grow. Doctors warned Lorraine that the fetus would not survive if brought to term, so they decided to deliver the infant at 28 weeks — despite only a 10 percent chance of survival.
Ten percent is not nothing. And Jamie seized every single scrap of that percentage he could get:
"I was told not to expect him to survive but he went from strength to strength and I took him home 11 weeks after he was delivered."
Today the 4-year-old is labeled a "prodigy" and can do mathematics in six different languages.
A savant with numbers, he can even total up his mom's groceries to the penny.
He can "do mathematics in six different languages." And I'm over here like:
Where does that kind of genius come from? Well, from God, obviously. And this young man has had it from the very start:
Lorraine first noticed Jamie was extremely clever just before his second birthday. She began testing the little lad at home, and a few weeks later, he was able to count to 50 and then 100.
On another occasion Jamie was watching a show on YouTube when the character started counting in French, and when he switched the show-off, he started counting in French.
"I couldn't believe it. I tested it out, I got on other programs in Spanish and Japanese and he started counting in those languages too."
You know you want to watch him count in his adorable Scottish accent (don't lie):
Lorraine herself put it best:
"He's just a little miracle, especially after being told he would likely have a severe disability or learning difficulty. I'm just so proud of him."
