God Cares When His Children Travel!

On March 28-29th, 2014, My sister and I traveled to Edmonton to shop at Ikea for our church nursery.

It was a lot of fun!  It started out with my hatch throwing faulty signals which could have killed my battery if it was not fixed since the interior lights were remaining on.  I said that we should stop at the garage before proceeding to leave town.  My sister suggested that we pray about it and so we did and the hatch was fixed on the way to the garage and there was no need to stop... haven't had a problem with the hatch since!  Thank you God!!

We dropped of my neices and my nephew at our parents home and then headed onto the road.  I felt like we should just talk to God and so we did.  One of the things that I talked to God about was I wanted him to extend our gas mileage beyond what my vehicle had ever got before.  And guess what... He granted that request!  It was amazing.  And on the way home our gas mileage was better than going there even with a car load from Ikea!  My sister made the comment on the way back that we probably were getting incredible gas mileage because of the majority of the drive being highway driving.  Shortly after this comment another route appeared on google maps which appeared to be shorter.... so we took it... guess what?  It was all gravel roads, not even secondary highway!  So God got all the glory!!

I love when God prompts me to ask for things like that because I know that he will do it and I just get to sit back and enjoy the gift :-)

The Faith of a Child!

This account is amazing!  My neice, Cassidy(4 years old), fell in our home (we have concrete floors) and hurt her arm.  She was crying and holding it so she sat on her mom's lap.  My aunt was also here.  After a while it was clear that it was a bit more serious than just a bump.  She wasn't moving the arm and didn't want anyone to touch it either.  My sister asked if I would pray for it.  I gently layed my hands on her arm and began to pray.  Part way through Cassidy rather forcefully with her other hand shoved my hands away.

I offered chocolate but they melted in Cassidy's hand so they were put into the fridge.  It has to be pretty serious for Cassidy to not eat chocolate!  I then put on a movie for Cassidy to watch.  During the movie I was listening pretty closely to see what the Holy Spirit would reveal to me about the situation.  I felt a nudge a couple of times to go and talk with Cassidy about God's love and about Jesus loving her and wanting to heal her arm.  Which I did each time.  After the movie was over Cassidy went to get up and bumped her arm and began to cry again.  Kendra asked me what I thought we should do... I felt like we should give Cassidy a choice.  So Kendra asked Cassidy "would you like to go to the doctor to be healed or would you like Jesus to heal you?"  Cassidy said "I want Jesus to heal me".  Within a couple of minutes (if that) she was bouncing on that arm deliberately... showing off what Jesus had done!  It was amazing to watch how giddy she was about it even into the following days!

Praise God!  He is good all the time!
