This morning I woke to a little dove sounding baby. I fed Cohen at 5am and headed to the gym at around 5:45. I stopped at the Lancaster Mall Starbucks because I saw my brother's truck parked outside which meant he was working this morning! That was fun to see him, although they didn't open until 6:30. Any way, after I said hi to Quinn I got myself an iced coffee, as they are easy to drink fast. I needed the caffeine boost to help me with my workout this morning. I was in the locker room washing my hands and there is an older lady next to me blow drying her hair. She looked SOOOO familiar! I kept staring at her and she probably thought I was some kind of weirdo. Then it dawned on me! Three years ago I worked at Salem Hospital as a CNA. This woman whom is probably in her mid to late 60's was a patient of mine and I remembered her dear face. She was sooooooo sick with cancer and her loving husband was by her side every moment and he just knew she was going to get better but to the medical staff, things didn't look good at all! I remember she was so weak and so ill. Well... She was the the gym healthy as a horse. I told her I remembered her from the hospital and she didn't know me, I didn't expect her too since I am sure she had a million nurses taking care of her, but I gave her a hug and told her I was so thankful to God she was healthy and better! I felt like crying. I was so encouraged and reminded of God's power and His plan for the people HE loves! Our lives, if given to Him, are in his hands and He lovingly and perfectly holds us and cares for us.
I wish everyone would take Jesus' word and believe that He died in our place to save us from our sins. Hell is a real place and it's horrible. It's horrible beyond our imagination. I know God is everything perfect and beautiful and good and He is in heaven and that is where I want to spend eternity, and that is who I want taking care of me. I'm so thankful Jesus loves me enough to die so I could have life and allow me to spend eternity in a place I could NEVER deserve to be. I don't know much but I know Jesus and I love Him with all of my heart. He shows me love every moment of my life.
On that note, I am going to enjoy this day and thank God for his miracles and his free gift of eternal life and abundant joy simply by believing Him.
In Him,
Kesh~

It is amazing how God encourages us through his timing. He wanted you to be at the Court House at the same time as "the Miracle Lady"; and by that, inspired you to write the beautiful story on your blog witnessing to others.
An emotional story at that; it brought a tear to my eyes!
Love, Mommy
