Little did I know that I would be coming back to topic and what happened Sunday was another example and way that God has shown me what He wants to do with my life and through me. Man what a day that was for me....... never have I cried that much or that hard.
This is the events of what transpired and what has happened since that time. I'm going to share some memories with all of you just to kinda give you an idea and paint the picture so to speak.. So let's rewind to the 19th of December 2006 and reply some events. The I.E.D. (improvised explosive device or roadside bomb) had just gone off, I had waken up from the concussion that I received to hear what confirmed the worst. After a lot of work by everyone who was there that day the 3 of us made it out alive. The three of us had just got on board the helicopter that was taking us a hospital, during that flight I was irate, anger, and all sorts of pissed. In the coming weeks I met with a Chaplin to talk about the events of what happened. I had a lot of questions and I still do. I was honestly upset with God, I wondered why it had happened, what purpose would it serve. It's almost 5 years after the fact and I'm still no closer to finding the answers to my questions. That's okay though because so much has changed because of what God has been doing in my life.
Let's jump now to this past Sunday and what happened there. Well right away when I woke up for some reason or another I was generally frustrated, hacked off, and annoyed. I didn't really know why honestly, but I knew that I was yet I still had responsibilities to fulfill. I went downstairs and proceeded to check the kids into Sunday School. After a while a friend came down and we talked a bit, but little did we both know that was just the beginning of what would happen. She went back up stairs and a few minutes later she came back down. What unfolded was healing, not just any old healing this was powerful, it went deep to the core of my heart. We talked about the anger I was feeling and how to process it, that's when she shared about what she had experienced when she lost her son at the tender age of 19. After having at it with God the only words she heard back was "I love you." At that moment the conversation changed, she knelt next to me and put her hand on my knee. I wept like had never wept before, she prayed as the song Forever Reign played in the background. (LOL!!!! This isn't even the best part!) The prayer was holy in every sense of the word, it was powerful, pure, and perfect that I have ever heard. After she had prayed, we hugged. The best part is what happened at the end of Sunday School when I got two cards from a boy and a girl from the Prek -K classroom. In the cards "I love you" was written................. I'm pretty sure I just got two cards from God.
What an amazing day................. this whole week has just been to good so far! I'm grateful that I get to share this with all of you who are reading my blog. What a God we serve.................. how grateful I am because so much has changed since being back at Anchor Point my home in a sense. This is my story and I'm sticking to it! May God Bless you and your families!
