Jordan and I had come back to the hospital to say goodnight to the babies. it was 7:20 when we got here so we were sitting in the waiting room until 7:30 (nobody can go back during shift change). as we were sitting in the completely empty waiting room, a older man comes in, picks up the phone and asked for his daughter to come out and talk to him. once he gets off the phone he comes and sits down right next to me. in my head, I was thinking seriously? all these chairs and you’re going to sit right on top of me. he looks at me and says “this might sound weird, but God told me to talk to you… do you have babies in the NICU?” I said yes, sir I do. he responded, a boy and a girl right? by this time I’m looking pretty confused and said yes sir. he then says and this is your sister, right? again, yes sir, I can only imagine the look on my face. he then says “how do I know these things? God, talks to me and I just want you to know that He’s not going to leave you. remember to pray without ceasing. He hears you.” by this time, I’m speechless. did this actually happen? his daughter comes out of the NICU and he introduces us- she’s a nurse in the back. although, Jordan nor I have never seen her.. they told us good bye, and that they would be praying for our sweet babies.
after they left, the look on my face and Jordan’s was priceless. I thought for a second they’ve had to overheard us talking but I’ve never seen either one of them before. God sent me a message through someone else. He was letting me know that, He’s standing next to me through this storm in my life. that I needed to let go of my fears and worries and lay them at His feet. I needed to fully trust in him. cause, I’m going to be honest- it is so hard. I do believe God is in full control of our situation and our babies are in the best hands possible. however, it is so hard to leave all the emotions at His feet and not worry. the older man, also told me to keep praying. “pray without ceasing”.
if you’re going through a hard time in your life and you find yourself in the middle of a storm, remember God is standing next to you and He will not leave you. lean on Him, trust in Him, and pray- pray hard.
