ok, so here is more to that great story....
On Sunday Jamie, Mason and I went back to the hospital to visit Sammie. Mason asked if we could go get a soda. So Debbie Mason and I went to the hospitality room to get a soda. On our way to the room, I saw Julie and her family...(that is the family that God sent us to sing to on Friday) Of course I was in sweats pants and a sweatshirt, hair in a ponytail. So I said hi Julie, when her eyes met mine she knew who I was. He family followed shortly behind her and we were all so happy to see one another again,knowing that Christ had put us together in a special way two days before. She had a story to tell me about how they ended up there.
On Thursday was her Grandmother's 103 birthday!!! That day her grandmother fell and broke her hip, the week prior to that they had lost their family jewelry store. The week was just bad. Friday they were felling heavy and having a hard time, they went to their Christmas special at their church that Friday night, after it was over she called her grandmother in the hospital to tell her they were on their way to come visit, she asked her husband if they could run home first, he said no let's just go ahead and get to the hospital and visit for awhile, Julie agreed that was a good idea. What she did not know til later is that as soon as she got off the phone, her grandmother began praying that Christ would show himself to them, that she knew they were struggling and that she knew seeing Christ would remind them of "how great is our God"
That was 30minutes before she ran into us in the middle of center pointe hospital singing "How Great Is Our God" at that time she did not know that her grandmother had prayed that prayer for them (AWESOME I KNOW!) How awesome is it that her grandmother was on the same floor as my father in law and again we were blessed by how close God leans in when we just ask him too!!
That's not all.....As we were leaving the hospital we were walking out the front doors and I saw a lady her new baby with a pink hat on and her husband, remember the new mom we sang for in the baby unit?? It was them!!
They were checking out of the hospital to take their new baby girl home :)
That night I thanked God for all these wonderful things he had used me for, I also prayed that if Marley was not here yet to send me another foster baby or an infant to love on til then. The next day we got a phone call from adoption and beyond, can you foster a baby girl this holiday season?...ummmm YES, she has not been born yet, her mother is a teenage girl and ready to deliver any day now, she is already dilated to a 4 and we need a home for her after she is born. So we are waiting for that phone call to get to love on this baby girl til she goes to be with her adoptive family, but thank you Lord again for answering my prayers. Beloved friends, he is listening, what is your prayer right now??
We love you.
One more thing, we had a donation of $1000.00 put into our account today for Marley Claire McCain today, if you know the words already to this song, sing it with me, it's getting closer, believe it's coming, around the corner, we are gunna make it!! AMEN
