Monday was a normal day like any other
Ate breakfast
Had a devotion with our ministry host
Taught English to Khmer children
Lesson planned in a local cafe
Ate lunch
Went to the hospital to make Christmas cards and interact with the patients
But that’s when the atmosphere shifted
As we decorated homemade paper in red, white and green we shared what God had been doing/teaching us since debrief
One of our teammates shared that God had been asking her to step more fully and boldly into the gifts He’s given her because she had the opportunity of seeing the Lord do miraculous things in her church back home and He desires that here
i.e. physical legs growing out
As we talked the woman who oversees us at the hospital asked if she could interject
She proceeded to tell us a story about a time the Lord miraculously grew her leg
She had hip surgery but they accidently measured it wrong resulting in her right leg being longer than her left
In her community back home they prayed and God miraculously grew her leg but they still weren’t completely even and she still deals with back pain
She had shoes specially made with extra material on left to help even things out
Her faith was incredible to watch as she explained how she trusts that God is not finished with her and one day her legs will be even in Jesus name
The conversation ended as we left card making and went to spend time with the patients
We returned to the office as our time ended
We gathered our belongings but before we left we asked if we could pray over her legs
She excitedly said ‘yes’ and began to show us the dramatic length difference
When she would stand with her right leg straight, her left foot would not touch the floor
When she would stand on her left leg, she would have to bend her right leg
We laid hands on her leg and back and began to pray in the name of Jesus Christ
Once we finished she told us that her leg was very hot and her back pain was gone
She stood up and walked around and to our amazement her legs were completely even!
She put on her specially made shoes but instead of them evening out her legs they now made her uneven
On Moday afternoon we witnessed GOD MIRACULOUSLY GROW A WOMAN’S LEG!!
Y’all God is sooooo incredible!
We are so undeserving but He invites us into what He is doing
Matthew 14:19-20
“Taking the 5 loaves and the 2 fish and looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of broken pieces that were left over.”
In feeding the 5000, the miracle happened in the hands of His disciples
Similarly, God invites us into the miracles He is doing
He doesn’t need us
He could do miracles without us
But He desires for us to be a part of it
God takes us by the hand and says, “Come daughter, come son, let me show you what I do. Let me show you. Let me teach you. I want to use you.”
Everyday is ‘take your child to work day’ for God
What a good good Father He is
