So, the flu hit my house pretty hard. First Cam wakes up with a vicious fever, and chills and a severe headache. We spent some time in the hospital to try to get the fever down, after 5 days of him being miserable, he goes back to school. Than the next wk, the other twin starts with the fever, coughing, sneezing. But he was still full of energy and not as miserable as his brother. Than the following wk, Cam starts running a high fever again, which was caused by an infection from not recovering from the flu the first time. So after dr visits, and medicine and missing so much work. It cost us almost 500 bucks. Which really hurt the check book. So we are trying to play catch up again. And I guess I had all that on my mind lastnight when I went to bed. Which is where my dream came from..
It was almost midnight on Christmas Eve, and I realized I had not been able to buy Christmas for the kids. SO I run to the car, and drive all over town to find a store open. Well I end up at Target. I run inside and get a buggy, and I am running and crying because all the shelves are empty. I cry out to God, "please Lord, my family needs to have something to open tomorrow"! Than I see this shelf, and it has 3 oranges, 3 candy canes, has a baby stroller for Jazzy, a Texas Tech pullover for Aaron and Long Horns pullover for Cameron, and even had a MP3 player that I remember Trav asking for. So, I am in tears and shoving all this stuff in my buggy. I head to the check out line, and while the cashier is scanning all my stuff. I get my wallet out, and open it slowly and realize I only have 50 bucks and one quarter. I start to panic again, wondering what I would have to put back. Than she tells me my total $50.24.! I than begin to laugh, and cry and get the heck out of the store. I woke up hearing my self giggling. And just laid in bed. I think, that it was God's way of telling me, that he will provide for me and my family. I just have to trust in him, and quit worrying..So there you go people. Not sure why I felt the need to share it with you. But I did, and hopefully it ministers to you the way it did me.
Wow! That is a powerful word you just shared. It literally brought tears to my eyes. Not only did God show you he would take care of you, but he even left you with extra. Thanks for letting us into your personal life and thoughts.

Very cute picture of you and your daughter. It stinks that your boys were so sick. I know many families who were affected by it in Wise County. And thank for sharing your dream, I dont know how many times, I went grocery shopping, and God always made sure I had enough money. His mercy and grace is good!
ReplyDeleteOh Amanda! This word was for me! Thank you for being so obedient with the revelations that God gives you. Now, I am looking forward to Christmas, and you have no idea how long it has been since I have been able to say that.!
