My work week was short due to the New Year's holiday...
But it required the energy of six weeks packed into three days...
But I was witness to the hand of God in the midst of loss...a miracle.
Working with a family whose little one is dependent on technology for sustaining life, some very chaotic circumstances brought him into a hospital stay before Christmas. The circumstances catapulting the admission were confusing and hard to understand. Why? Why now?
Returning to work this past Wednesday, I learned that the apartment directly above the family's apartment caught on fire in the early morning hours. All the units are uninhabitable. On top of everything else, now this?
And yet, somehow, God knew...and this child was in the hospital...at the right place...at the right time. And God used the chaos...something God knew all about...and used it in a very redeeming way.
So what may appear as a dark, stormy time in our lives that makes no sense, if we will ask God and take the time to seek, we will see that He is in the middle of it all...holding us close to His heart.
My heart goes out to the family. . . . I know what it's like to live through the devastation of fire. Sending them my prayers.
