God works in mysterious ways? April 12, 2008

I’m pretty sure that God works in mysterious ways, but really really amazes me is the obvious ways He works. At least obvious if you take the time to open your eyes.
My family is getting ready to enter a “winter,” more particularly my twin sister. We are all pretty sad and worried, and “leaking” alot (my sister calls it liquid prayer).
But what’s amazing me is that we can really and truly see God working in this winter. We can see how God’s been preparing our hearts, and in particular Jo’s heart.
Case and Points:
- A few months ago she was either pretty ambivilent towards God (as a defence mechanism) or angry. There was definately some reconciliation that needed to take place and God has been really working on her heart to spur on that reconciliation between Him and her. If we had gotten the correct diagnosis earlier, who knows how Jo’s relationship with God would be right now.
- Jo’s short term disability did not kick in until April 1st… if we had gotten the correct diagnosis earlier, she wouldn’t be able to draw her disability.
- My mom got laid off at the end of February… and has been unable to obtain employement since then. Her unemployment just got approved however, and she’s been able to be available for Jo’s appointments and as a nursemaid.
- Our church is doing a series right now entitled Recycled: Beyond Broken. SOOOO applicable
- The last Grow we did… and the first one Jo ever went to… talked about the seasons of our lives and the possitive things that can come out of our “winters.” How cool is that?
It’s going to be a difficult next few months. But I’m looking forward to seeing God triumph in the midst of tragedy (and He can do that regardless of outcomes) and I’m looking forward to this time of growth for my family.
