His Hands

God sent the right people at the right time to comfort me and remind me He has a plan and nothing can take us out of His hands

January 23

Shortly after I arrived at Morning Grace, our ladies’ Bible studies, this morning, my daughter Sarah called. She is in Switzerland on a YWAM leadership and missions training. I could hear in her voice that she wasn't doing well. I asked her if she was okay and she just started to cry. She told me that she woke up this morning feeling really sick. She was achy and exhausted. The first person I saw was my friend Evelyn. I quickly asked her to pray and headed out to the hall. Over the last several years she has had a lot of health issues. Gluten and other food intolerance's. It took a long time to figure out the little bit we know, but we still don't understand all that is going on. For a long time, not feeling well just weighed heavy on her, but in the last several months she has overcome and found joy. Over Christmas break she got a cold that just did not want to let go. She was in good spirits through it all, annoyed that she didn't feel great, but not down-hearted about it. So today when she was feeling overcome and defeated, it broke my heart. When I got off the phone I stood in the back of the room listening to worship and cried. My friend Tammy walked up to me and just gave me a hug. It was exactly what I needed. A few minutes later I ran into Pastor Rachel and she asked about Sarah. I was able to share how I know God has a plan for Sarah. God had Sarah and me covered. He sent just the right people at just the right time. By the end of the day, Sarah's spirits were up, and she had spent most of the day resting.
