God has prepared me for months for this...in gentle ways He has spoke to my spirit. Years ago he gave me the verse Joshua 1:9 "Be strong and very courageous for the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go" I am SOOOO NOT a mystic type christian but that has been popping up everywhere and I felt God was telling me to get ready for something. Early in the summer I met a lady in the mall and sh
e was Not weird but she told me God was about to do something BIG in our family. But that I'd have to really trust him. I took her serious and felt it was from the Lord, although it was right after the adoption and I did say He had done something BIG!!!!!! She told me there was more to come and that it would be seen by many...I had forgotten that until right now. One of my friends was with me and I think she'll remember that I took the lady serious and didn't joke around or be sarcastic about it. ( I tend to do that as most stuff people say is a bit crazy but I felt it was from God) Some people had some disturbing dreams about my family, especially of Sam... and I felt a God given sense of premonition all summer. God prepared me for the loss of my twins that way ( I'm not saying that Selah is not going to make it) God knew this was going to happen...I don't understand it all but like the old poem "The Weaver" I will one day!
I want to write more about this but I have to go to bed as tomorrow will be a long day. Thanks for your prayers and just know that God is with you through everything!!!!!
"Our life maybe a crazy life but it's our life" I'm married to a pastor of a small rural church, who is also the prison chaplain. We have 5 kids, each with their unique story. I love gardening & we all love the outdoors. Our life is not the way we planned it to be, but we are learning to trust God in every area. Come and read about our life as we live it to the fullest!
Praying hard for your sweet girl.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the updates. It helps us in the Christian community know what prayers need to be said. I am sure writing the blog might be hard some days but also it can be very theraputic. We are all praying for Selah. Update when you can. God's blessings be with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI wrote Thursday night to you about praying for you all at vbs on Friday - and Joshua 1:9 was actually the memory verse for the day. It spoke to myheart, and last night as I was reading I wanted to leave you a comment with that verse but thought it might come across as condescending to tell you that..... so I rejoice that God didn't wait for me to tell you! You continue to be in my prayers- and will be!

Praying for you Yvonne. I can't even imagine how stressful having one child in the hospital getting ready for major surgery would be. I know the Lord will comfort you during this time. Just wanted you to know that I am praying for your family.
ReplyDeleteThere has to be some comfort in having a personal message that He knew this was coming. That it's not a surprise, and that He will use it for good for every one of you some way, some how. I thank Him for the way that He is wrapping his arms around you and waiting with you through this.
ReplyDelete~Every crisis is an opportunity to have the veil taken away and go face to face with God and He will change us,from faith to faith~ This was a portion of last night's message. Your post is beautiful and reminded me of a story years ago. A friend of mine lost her two year old son to drowning. Weeks before while in deep fellowship, God kept impressing on her heart that he was going to do something Big. Then he asked, "would you let me take one of your children?" Her answer was yes. Not the ordinary way God works, but he did this with her. Both her and her husband were seriously ill with the flu and the oldest child was watching her boy and he got out into the pond. God was so gracious, as she was also 7 month pregnant. It helped ease the loss. Great things were done through this loss and many lives were saved. God does amazing work through trials. This is not to say I believe Selah will not make it. I've experience great miracles equal to hers. He is able! Praying continually for your family, with much love, Corey
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad to hear that your son is out of the hospital and doing well. Our hearts are so heavy for you about your little girl, and we are praying for her and for your family. We can't imagine how hard it must be. Praying GOd will restore Selah to you, and that He will carry you through this.
ReplyDeletelove, the Adamsons
I'm praying for Selah's heart beat to slow and for her brain to heal.
ReplyDeleteI'm very blessed to read of that loving message to you from the Lord. I guess he doesn't care whether we're mystical or not - he's able.
