God has definitely been showing up this weekend and sending messages that he is still in control. So much has happened so I will divide the blog into two sections Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday
My Saturday morning began with a call from Prissy about 8 a.m. She was upset and crying and I had no idea what was wrong with her, but told her I would be there in 10 minutes. So I quickly brushed my teeth and through on the first thing I could find and rushed out the door. When I arrived at the hospital, she was still in tears and said she was just having a bad day; so she and I hugged for about 5 minutes and I told her everything would be okay and to calm down. After I helped her with her bath, I returned to home for the afternoon. I went back to the hospital about 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, when I arrived my mom, Greg, and one of her friends, Minister J. Senay Spurgeon were there. Senay said to Scilla "I had a VISION that you I came to visit you yesterday and you had on a white dress and was walking; I asked you where you were going and you said to visit this baby." My mom and Scilla laughed and Senay is looking around like what is funny and Prissy told her that she went to visit one the daughter of one of her friends who had given birth on Friday. Senay was totally surprised, so we all continued to talk and Scilla told Senay that she was going to church on Sunday and Senay said "What are you going to wear, that pretty blue jean dress?" and Scilla said "Yea" and Senay was like "Stop lying!" So I went to the closet and got the dress out to show Senay and she was ready to start shouting and praising God. But God did not stop working there; Senay picked up Scilla's bible to look at a picture and turned to a page that had a sticky note that said "RESTORATION, PSALMS 126." Senay asked Prissy, "How did you get this? This is my handwriting, it looks like one of the markers I use in my bible when I am giving a sermon." I was trying to figure it out and said "maybe she took it from your bible" and Scilla said " I didn't get that out of her bible, I don't know how I got it!" So Senay proceeded to read Psalms126:5-6 aloud to Scilla and it reads as follows: 5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Scilla looked at Senay and said "I was crying this morning" and Senay was almost speechless.
After all the above happened, Senay was saying to Scilla that because of her tears should would get joy. I believe that God sent Senay to give my sister a message on Saturday; He wanted her to know that he has heard her cry and that he is working on a miracle on her behalf. Senay knew nothing about Scilla going to visit the baby or the dress and all that was too much to be coincidental. I believe in her vision God made sure to include the part about the baby so that Scilla would know that it wasn't just Senay saying that she would walk again, but it was GOD. I feel as though God is getting ready to do something in my sister that we will never understand and Why do I believe this? I believe this because when we expect God to do great things; he does. When we stop expecting God to bless us; that is when our blessings become stalled. We must continue to walk in faith and expect to be blessed.
