If you know me you know I also have a big passion for meeting the needs of others… even if it means sacrificing whatever I have to do so in the process.
Well… that happened this Wednesday… and before I tell you the story, I want y’all to read a prayer I wrote in the midst of it.
I wrote this prayer as I was sitting in a hospital at a loss for what to do and how I had even gotten there.
“God right now I am sitting in a hospital with a boy I found from a village that has a broke arm. I felt deep within my heart and soul you wanted to do a work through me for him. God I said yes to your prompting and I said yes to your push.
God I give this to you.
God I trust you.
Sometimes I don’t understand but I know I know I know I know you do.
God I pray for this little boy and that you bring HEALING into his bones. I pray for this little boy that you will give him peace right now as we wait for the doctor and peace in his body as we wait for an answer.
God I pray for his mother as we sit here waiting. Thank you that she trusted us enough to take her and her son here to get help.
God I pray for your revival to come and your peace to fill and your healing to SHINE and your Glory to be magnified.
God I pray for my pocket book right now. I knew with saying yes to your prompting to take this boy to the hospital I was also saying yes to a hard lesson of trust. I am still not fully funded Lord. I am still praying into getting money to end this season well. I don’t know how much this is going to cost and I don’t know how I am going to manage this. I cannot control this situation right now and I cannot multiply my money. I cannot fix this situation. I know you pushed me to extend all I have left for this little boy and I know you also are extending my trust within your grasp in the process.
God I pray right now for a miracle.
God I pray right now for a miracle.
God I pray right now for a miracle.
GOD I PRAY RIGHT NOW FOR A MIRACLE.
I know you work.
I know you heal.
I know you provide.
I know. I know. I know.
God come right now and do the work only you can do.
God come right now and fill this place like only you can.
God come right now and bring overwhelming peace.
God come right now and push my faith today.
God come right now and show your face here to these people.
God come right now and provide all the means needed to make this possible today.
God I SURRENDER.
I surrender my money. I surrender my fundraising. I surrender my idea of how things were going to work out. I surrender my expectations for this doctors visit. I surrender it all to you.
I trust you. I trust that you are here right now today. I trust you are going to heal this boy. I trust that you already have plans of providing.
WHY AM I WORRYING?
WHY DO I WORRY?
You are a God that literally can break every chain and set every captive free.
You made a blind man see.
You rose back to life.
You gave us life.
You tell the mountains to move and they shake.
YOU. ONLY YOU.
God right now I pray. I pray without hesitation or fear. I pray without a hold from the enemy.
ENEMY BE GONE.
I pray with a confidence only you can provide. I pray with an assurance that you will come again. I pray I pray I pray. I pray with a knowledge of who you are and a heart that believes it’s true.
GOD THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE.
GOD THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE SITTING IN THIS HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW HELPING THIS BOY.
GOD THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR PROVIDING.
Jesus I love you. Jesus wow I’m so in awe of you. Jesus, thank you. I trust you now. “
Now that you have read that… I would like to formally and excitedly and LOUDLY proclaim that just 12 hours after this prayer was prayed I became FULLY FUNDED!!! And as this prayer was being prayed, the doctors figured out what was wrong with this boy, and we made a plan of action to fix it!!
AMEN JESUS!!!
Okay now keep reading to read the story…
My team and I went to a feeding in a new community and while we were there some kids led us to a small boy that had a broken arm. This little boy up had had a broken arm for a week up until this point.
When I walked into the house I was met with screams and terror from the little boy. He thought I was a doctor and he thought I was going to hurt him because he had been hurt before by people trying to help him in the community.
After countless minutes of me trying to calm the little boy my host asked if we were ready to leave. At this moment I turned to my host and said “I want to take him to the hospital”. Not knowing how to get him there, how to pay for his bills, or anything else… I said the boldness YES. My host looked at me surprised and said “really??… you would do that??”. And just as confidently as before I said “yes absolutely”.
At this moment we started a journey I hadn’t planned for that day. One of the girls on my team Darian and I ended up going to three hospitals, spending 10 hours going from doctor to doctor and room to room and appointment to appointment. We weren’t going to stop until this little boy was taken care of.
We found out he had a complete break in his bone.
At the end of the day this little boy could have had surgery that night but he couldn’t be admitted because his mom had to go home and take care of the 4 other kids she had at the house waiting for her all alone (aged 4-11). So instead of doing the surgery that night we planned to do the surgery this coming Monday. We aren’t going to stop fighting for this little boy.
One of the girls on my team Mal was able to reach out to some people she knows and raise $1000 for the surgery on Monday! We don’t know how much it will cost, but the Lord has already blessed this situation abundantly!
If you want to help or be involved in anyway you can buy one of my fundraising shirts “Fight for Joy Fight for Freedom”!!!!
Sometimes the Lord calls you to say yes to things you don’t fully understand and it’s scary. When I said yes to this little boy I didn’t know if my team was going to rally around this decision like they have and i also was still fundraising. I now have full support from my team and I am completely fully funded. Bless. THANK THE LORD. Wow. My heart is so full.
Thank you Lord for blessing this bold “Yes” and thank you that you always provide when you call us into the deepest waters! I thank you for the healing you are going to give this little boy and I thank you for the opportunity you are giving us to pour into him and his family! AMEN!
