God Works in Mysterious Ways
The other day, my mom was forwarding the latest update on Emily and accidently clicked on a wrong address. She didn't find out about it until we got a letter saying the person was no longer working there. Then yesterday we got a letter from the secretary of Shasta Bible College, addressed to Ken and Natalie, saying how she didn't know how she got their e-mail, but she believes God works things for a certain reason. She wants to post Emily's picture in their chapel so the students can pray for her every day, the teacher's will be praying for Ken, and she will be praying as a mother/grandmother! To make it even more interesting, my parents are actually friends with the president of the college, but as we don't see them often, hadn't talked to them about Emily. But God has His own plans!
A couple of you have mentioned my cousins' attitude during this time. I can not express in words how their godly attitudes have been sooooo encouraging and convicting! Listening to Natalie over the phone today, I was just blown away by her faith in God. They're saving a box of all the letters and things they receive to show Emily. The newest thing to be added is the first bill from the hospital: 90 pages, singled spaced of amounts owed! It'd be neat to see a map of people all over who are praying.
EDIT: I heard this last night and it fits under this title. Not too long ago a young man in the Army in Iraq accidently shot and killed an innocent. As punishment, he was demoted, taken from his unit, and moved to another place. He didn't understand why all this happened to him. Why would God allow something like this? Then he learned that the group he used to be with was all killed when their Humvee exploded. God must having something special in store for this guy!
