Good Essays

It was time to take Micah to Nashville and get direction for our son. A few nights before we left I was up all night. I spent time seeking God about our situation. My heart was broken and my despair was without words, but God was there, and as always He directed me. He reminded me about the time when Miranda had the chicken pox. She was just over a year old and Micah had just turned three. Micah was determined he would not get them. I was positive he would.

I wanted to run away, but there was nowhere to run. I had to go through to get to the other side and going through was painful. We went to our appointment with the genetic doctor.

We came out to get in the van when Miranda looked down by her door. She picked up something and said, “Mom, I just found $100.00.” I told her to let me see. To my amazement she had just found a one hundred dollar bill. There were no other cars around or people. Miranda declared God had given it to her.
