Another one of our “way too many” admissions in the PICU found Rebecca’s lungs not doing well at all. Every morning for about five days, the doctors would get a chest X-ray which would show her lungs getting worse and worse, then they would come and tell me things like, “She is very sick,” or “It looks like she is getting worse,” or “I think things are getting really bad,” you get the idea, it was nothing hopeful. The following morning, the same thing occurred, they took the chest X-ray and the doctor on duty came as usual to tell me, “It’s not looking good at all.” But this day, something deep inside of me filled me with a peace and joy that was out of this world. These words came up and out of me before I could even realize what I was saying, I really believe it was the Holy Spirit Who put these words in my mouth. I said to the doctor, “Don’t worry, tomorrow she will be almost back to normal.” Of course, he looked at me as if I had just gone off the deep end and just kind of walked away.
The next morning, same thing, a chest X-ray was taken…but this time no one came to speak to me. Rebecca’s oncologist, who always kept tabs on her whenever she was admitted, came in to ask me what happened. I told him, “I don’t know, no one has come to speak with me yet today.” He said, “let me go see what’s going on,” and went to confer with the doctors. A while later he came back in and said, “They said she’s doing better.” I thought to myself, “Hmmm, I thought the Lord said she would be almost back to normal, but I will take better!” But something didn’t sit right with this doctor and he said, “I am going to go see the X-rays for myself,” and he left the room. Not even a minute later, he came back in, perplexed and amazed and said, “She’s not only better, she’s almost back to normal!” To which I simply smiled to myself and thought, “Yes, that’s what I thought You told me, Lord.”
Miracles. We can’t explain them. It must be God. But He still creates miracles today. Seek them in your life…
