A few weeks ago I went to a homeschool meeting and they have a free table of books etc... As I was about to leave by chance I walked up to the table to see what they had and noticed a book by our pastor's father, Kenneth Hagin Sr. It was titled Bible Prayer Study Guide. I got it thinking it might be something the girls could use in their studies. I ended up picking it up myself and started reading through it and it got my attention. It opened my eyes to some things in my own life which I will explain in a few minutes.
The last few days have been really hectic. With my Mom being in ICU I have been literally taking care of my Mom and my brother has been taking care of my Dad. What has been hard is I have been having to make all the decisions on my Mom. The doctors recommended my Mom go to an acute care center just to get her wound on the mend before she goes home. They do not want to keep her long term in ICU to get this wound on the mend. They recommended Meadowbrook Specialty Hospital. I went there to check it out today. I did not come away with any kind of comfortable feeling. She would be down the hall from the nurses station in a room by herself. With her being on a vent this is a concern of her choking and not being watched properly. This happened when she was in the Specialty Hospital in St. Francis and if my Dad had not been there she would have choked. I addressed this concern to the liaison and she could not address my concerns about this and had no answer for me. It left me feeling distressed and not knowing what to do. I asked God to give me guidance and show me what to do. I went to the hospital after that and stayed with Mom for a while. Not long after being there I ran into the social worker at the hospital in the hall and talked with her. I told her I would like to look into the two other places available before making a decision. (Hillcrest and St. John's) I was feeling like that this was most likely going to be that same situation there too. It was becoming overwhelming how it was stressing me out. Feeling pressure from the hospital etc...
Tonight after dropping the girls off a Regals (with our church) I went back up to the hospital. I found out that the doctors and plastic surgeon will be in at 8:00 am today (Tuesday) to look at my Moms wound. I have asked God for healing and know God heard my prayer. I believe when they look at the wound they will be confounded at the healing.
What I realized after reading some of this book is this...
When we pray we have to leave all our cares with the Lord. When we worry we are picking up the problem again and then God can not do anything because we are tying to fix it oursleves. As I read this I realized this is what I was doing. Forgive me Lord... this is all in your hands now I will not take it back. Now we will see things happen because he has it in his hands.
I am excited and praise God for complete healing and the results on the way!
