I hope everyone had a great Sunday, we sure did! I began my Sunday praying and saying to God that I am thankful for the rain and we needed it, but to please let it stop before I had to go pick Prissy up for day pass visit. I prayed that the rain would stop and hold off until I returned her back to RCP this afternoon; thank you God for hearing and answering my prayer!
I arrived at RCP around 10:30 to pick up Prissy. After gathering everything we would need and signing her out. We went down and she did an excellent drive getting into the car. I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure how she would react to being inside a moving car, since her accident happened in a car. She was a little tense at first, but I could see her start to relax as I was driving.
Once we arrived at church and I pulled into a parking space, she said to that she should not have come because she didn't want everyone to see her getting into her chair. I told her that there would be times when she would be around more people and have to get into the chair and that she was beautiful and for her not worry about others because she was there to give God praise. Our first attempt at getting her out of the car did not go as well as we practiced and we had to call for Uncle Perry to come quickly and help us lift her back into the car and we would start over. With the help of my Uncle Perry, Greg, and Scilla's son, A.D we were able to get her out successfully, but still with some kinks on the 2nd try.
Once inside the church, the worship leader announced her presence and the congregation stood and gave her an applause; which made her cry. God's presence was definitely felt in our service today and the choir dedicated a melody of songs to her and my family. As the choir sung, the Holy Spirit touched me, it touched my who shouted and praised God throughout the service; it even touched Scilla who at one point was praising God and moving so much in her chair that I though she may just get up and walk!
Today was our women's day celebration at church and the topic was "Let it be". The speaker spoke about Mary and Elizabeth in Luke 1 having God's favor and that blessed are those women who believe that what God has said to them, shall be done. My sister believes God for her healing and restoration and because she believes him for those things; they shall be done. At the end of the sermon, the speaker invited those who desired to come to the alter for prayer. My sister wheeled herself to the alter and after the guest minister prayed; she began immediately to speak to my sister and she knew nothing of what had happened, but she said when my sister was wheeled into the church she felt the spirit enter with her. She said my sister was going to be OK and she felt like God was going to do things in my sister's life that we wouldn't understand.
God really blessed on us Sunday and we felt his presence throughout the day. Before heading back to the hospital, we came by my house for a small family dinner. Prissy was so tired from all and it took a lot of convincing to get her out the car. Once in the house, she had a good time, but you could tell she was exhausted. On my way returning her to the hospital, I asked her if she wanted to go down Mauldin Rd. or Laurens Rd. to Faris. The reason I asked was I didn't want to take her Mauldin Rd. way if she didn't feel comfortable, because that is where her accident occurred. She said she wanted to go Mauldin Rd. way and see where her accident happened because she didn't really remember. Once we got to the spot of the accident and I showed her the deep and densely wooded area; all she could say was wow, I can't believe I lived through that; God had to save me."
