Miracles

This week I had an incredible experience that I thought was worth sharing and that I felt like was a miracle.  Saturday night around 12 am (10 am Saturday Morning in Mada) I woke up.  It felt like I was jolted out of sleep and I sat up wondering what was going on.  I felt some strange feeling, like something was wrong, but the house was completely silent.  I sat in bed looking around wondering what the feeling was that I was experiencing, when all the sudden I knew I had to get out of bed and pray for my boy in Mada.  I woke up Enoch and told him we needed to pray for David and so we did.  I felt better but I couldn't help but wonder what was going on.  Knowing that the Lord would take care of David, I decided that everything was resolved and that he would be ok.  Fast forward to this morning when I got to chat with David about my experience (and if you read his email) he mentions that they were lost in Madagascar at 10 am (midnight our time) and that it was a miracle that they were able to find their way.  David also said that there was a group of people who looked pretty unsavory as they found themselves completely lost.  I was so happy that I was jolted awake to pray for him so he could be protected.  Other miracles have been taking place in our home and in other areas that are too personal to share here, but I feel like a flood of blessings is pouring down on us right now.  Sometimes I am so blown away by the blessing that I find myself in a little bit of shock, like it couldn't be real, like you're still trying to wrap you're head around it.  I do believe in miracles. So many have happened in the last year, it would be hard to count.  I'm grateful for this experience that has taught me more fully about the power of prayer and that even though we can't communicate through phone, we are still very much in touch! Praise be to God for His tender mercies and gifts that bring me so much joy and happiness!

  2. You are such a light Holley, your faith is so inspiring. I believe in miracles also. I love that you are keeping a blog about David's mission, someday his children and even grandchildren will enjoy reading about his experiences and the things you are sharing as well.
