Yedidii

As I sit here and reflect on today I am so amazed and stand in awe at the marvelous things the Lord has done in my life and in the life of others. 9 months ago I was sitting in my home when my neighbor was in so much pain she needed to go to the hospital. Upon her return home the doctors gave her a report of her visit. Not understanding what was going on she gave me the report. It was written in English so I was able to read it. I read the words “Tubal Pregnancy”. As I read this my heart sank.  I knew how they longed to have a child. My heart was broken. I drew a diagram to try and explain what was going on. And my friend looked up and told me I will wait. I explained to her that it could be very dangerous. She was more than willing to take the risk.

The next day I walked over to pray for her and see how she was doing. She told me that God told her “He will put the baby in her womb”. I have to admit that my faith was not in the right place. All I could think was I saw the sonogram and read the doctor’s orders. I know God can change these things and circumstances. But at that moment all I could see was black and white.

The following week she returned to the Doctor for him to tell her that the egg was in the womb. It was such a testimony to me, and to those around her. When she told me I could hardly believe it. My heart was so heavy because I knew I lacked faith.

Today April 5^th we welcomed little Yedidii (Jedediah) Beloved of God into the world. When I was holding him today I couldn’t help but to think of Matthew 17:20 “Faith the size of a mustard seed”. It’s an amazing testimony of faith. Not of mine but a dear friends. God hears our cries and knows our desires. He is also very capable to remove those mountains in our lives. We just need faith to do it.
