First sleepover

Jaden spent the night with her Granny for the first time on Saturday. I was serving at our church's Breakthrough weekend, so was away from Friday night until Sunday afternoon. Reg took our girl to Granny's on Saturday and she stayed until Sunday afternoon. As I was serving the ladies in my row I thought of JadenGrace and was tempted to worry. Was she eating forbidden foods? Was she being Miss Sassy to her Granny? Was she wetting the bed, or pooping her undies, or acting strange in front of all the other children in church? Did she feel loved and accepted? Did she wonder where in the world all the familiar faces went? How about sleep? I forgot to remind Granny that Jaden doesn't sleep well when away from home.
But as these thoughts would come to mind, I just prayed. I simply asked God to meet that need and He graciously gave me peace and the ability to focus on the ladies who were seeking Him for all kinds of things. Many had their hearts mended. Many were able to finally understand how much God loves them. One had her son on the other side with the men and at one point he came over, hugged his Mama and asked for her forgiveness. She melted from the emotion of it all. (they had NOT come in so friendly ;o) Some were physically healed. Pain they had for years suddenly gone because Jesus is so kind like that.
I don't understand why God heals some in an instant and some have to wait a while--even until they get to heaven. I ask Him often--but He's not obliged to answer. And He usually doesn't. He just holds me, and loves me and tells me He takes great delight in me, He will never leave me or forsake me, He will be with me always, He will go before me and behind me and protect me, He will provide for every need I have. He allows me to see and have a part in the work He is doing in other peoples lives. I am humbled and overcome with joy when I think of it for more than a few minutes.
God is truly all I need.
