The phone rings with news of the shocking and unexpected, sending one's heart and mind into overload. Emotions flood at the realization one you love is hurting.
A brief 40 hour period of time framed with bookends of tears. On one end, tears of pain, sorrow, and disappointment. On the other, tears of profound joy.
And in-between?
God. Nothing but God! Waiting in Him. Praying desperately to Him. Leaning on Him.
The void of space and time suspended in prayer and concern.
The well-being of a friend lay delicately in balance. All the while knowing and trusting in God's goodness -- regardless of outcome.
Times like these places life in perspective. Menial annoyances fall into proper place. God realigns proclivity.
And He shows His glory! His answer an immediate "Yes!" and, again, "Yes!"
A mind still reeling, a heart still racing, yet the matter already completely settled in the heavenlies. It all happened so fast our reality tries to catch up, process what has occured. From one day to the next, what a difference a day makes. What a difference God makes in a day!
You amaze beyond all words, Sovereign, Ever-Present Lord. From start to finish, You were there and we give thanks with great rejoicing.
