Some days are so overwhelming and some days are so rewarding. Yesterday was both and I am so thankful God was there every step of the way. He was with us when we received the call the ambulance came early and we weren't at the facility yet. He was with us throughout the day when we had to wait at the doctor's office, as we drove through crazy traffic, etc. He also blessed us in abundance when a very quick answer to prayer when the doctor said Ms Paula was going to have surgery but she would have to go home overnight. I asked the doctor if she could be admitted so she would not have to go through the ambulance ride back home. He told me 'it doesn't usually work that way because there is not rooms available.' I reiterated my facts and he agreed to check. I prayed and not ten minutes later she had a room. The doctoer and the nurses were amazed. They said it 'never happens' like that. I told them it was an answer to prayer and the doctor's response was, 'You must have an in with the big man upstairs.' I chuckled and said I was a pastor but wished I would have had more time to talk to him about God. He does not always answer our prayers that quickly nor is His answer always what we desire. Yesterday He did and I praised Him for it. Not only did He provide a room but it was the exact same room she was in last week. I truly believe that was conformation from Him that He has everything taken care of. We just need to trust Him. I am so thankful I rearranged my schedule to be with them yesterday to advocate for her. I am thankful Doug was there to talk with Jack. "You Will Be Found" was on my mind throughout the day yesterday and again this morning. Ms. Paula is facing an uphill battle with her injury. She has a lot of work and pain to go through to walk again. I am thankful for her determination and the smile she keeps on her face that portrays Jesus. I also am thankful for the way she shares Jesus with those caring for her.
Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
And when you're broken on the ground
You will be found
So let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again
Lift your head and look around
You will be found
