I know that God answers prayers, but it’s good to be reminded…

        A few weeks ago a wonderful young lady began coming with a friend to our youth Hot Spot, “Resolution”. This young lady has an incredible attitude and smile that is quite contagious. Last Sunday she attended our Sunday morning service with her parents. Both parents expressed to me that they were very concerned about their daughter’s health. Apparently, she has had a rather difficult life with many tests and surgeries. Last Sunday they were concerned because she has been very fatigued and there was a good possibility she might have to have another heart surgery. She was getting tested on Wednessday to find out for sure. Our church prayed for her and her family that Sunday and committed to pray for her the rest of the week.

On Wednessday I was able to sit with them while she was being tested. It appeared to be a foregone conclusion that this little girl would have to go under the knife again. During the testing we were told that this sort of test takes about a week to get the results back. However, right before we left, the parents were told that they would be contacted the next day with the results. Of course, this concerned the parents even more. Maybe they already found something and needed to move on it quickly.

The next day came and went and no news from the doctor. Another day of worry and concern for the family. On Friday morning the call did come and with it good news. Our new friend was okay and would not need surgery. Praise God!

This is actually a double or even triple blessing. Not only is she healthy, but God has been speaking to her family through this scary time. Both parents really seem to be open to whatever it is that God has for them and want to know Him more. And (the triple blessing) the entire family is extremely pumped about Whispering Pines Community Church, going through our Boot Camp, and ministrying through our church.

God is good (so is life),
