Yesterday, I wept for our friends and their baby in distress. The fear was big and the tears came often because the most likely outcome was grim at best, and the very worst outcome was certainly possible. I burned 3 grilled cheese sandwiches in a row because I couldn't concentrate on anything but this dear baby and his mother. I prayed and pleaded and imagined each word joining a chorus of prayer from dozens, if not hundreds of others who knew of and loved this family.
Today. Today the Lord replied. He moved a mountain for the mother. And He healed. The grim and worst for the baby are no longer, and he is growing stronger. All who prayed and pleaded changed the chorus to "Hallelujah!" In the resurrection the Lord conquered death. Today I feel like I saw the Lord conquer death for a little boy just starting his life on Earth.

Hallelujah!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautifully worded, Jen. The tears started flowing once more from reading it. I will agree with Erin in a giant, "Hallelujah!!" God is so good.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I totally understand the whole concentration thing...my students either think I'm a total flake, freak, or just losing my mind completely.
Beautifully said, Jen! Thank you for sharing! - Colleen :)
