God is just to good.

These past few months I have felt like I have been wandering through a dry and weary land. A land that has no hope. But the Lord has graciously given me a glimpse of the hope that is only found in Him during these rough times.

Money has been tight. Sickness's have been very real. Jobs have slowed down. Prices have increased. Friends are still waiting for babies to be held in their arms. And through it all I have to confess I have cried out to my God many times, "Lord where are you?".

This land has been so dry and weary.

And my prayer has been to the song of "Lord have mercy."

Have mercy on me, my family, my friend's lives, our church, our pastors, our land....have mercy Lord.

Yesterday as I made my way to that doctors office, I literally had worked myself up to the worst case scenario with Hope. I just KNEW that the doctor was going to say something like, "Ok, now we need to do this test and then this procedure." And as my little girl was crying in fear for what was ahead for her I cried out in my heart....."Lord have mercy."

After all the testing was done, I could feel God's presence saying to me, "Now go and end this chapter." I said, "WHAT?" And the wind blew fiercely over me as we walked to the car, "Go end this chapter."

Walking into the doctors office my heart was calm, peace surrounded me and I was prepared for MAYBE a diagnosis that said, "Ok, she just needs to take this medicine and we will be good to go." Right?

Wrong.

The dr walked in with a big smile upon his face and said, "I'm so happy with these pictures right now. Do you see this? And do you see this?"

Not being a medical person I just kinda went along with what he said. I was like "Ok". But still waiting for the end results.

He looked at me and smiled and said, "She's totally healed and is going to be fine."

I went "WHAT?".

This was the SAME doctor that told us we'd have to go through this for YEARS. Test and procedures would be in her future for years to come.

"What?"

I mean, I and SO MANY others had prayed for this........BUT, "WHAT?"

I was so happy. Tears filled my eyes.

My faith was doubtful but MY BIG AWESOME GOD wasn't doubtful at all.

Friends.......God STILL WORKS.

Prayer STILL WORKS.

Faith STILL WORKS.

Don't fall into the same trap I have in this dry and weary land. Press on, keep believing and hold on for your miracle to happen. Your blessing is on it's way! Keep praying, even when you feel your prayers fall on deaf ears. Keep seeking God's touch. Keep on!!!!

I leave you this morning with a video of a song that if you listen to it will truly bring you to the heart of God. The quality of the video isn't very good, but it will still bless your heart. I prayed this song over my little girl. (tears)

My "hope" is in the Lord. His love endures forever. All of my girls are very special.......but Hope holds a special place in my heart and so many other's for the "Hope" she has brought to our lives. If you have never read the story of how the Lord showed me Hope's name I will try to find the post and put a link here.
