hello all,
i just got home from the hospital, where my grandma was admitted today. they believed she had an infection and that her organs were shutting down. they didnt expect her to live past today.
but - today was so amazing... there was one miracle after another. the doctor would discover something wrong with her, then a few hours later after they ran more tests, they would find that nothing was present.... they kept saying, i dont know why the doctor would think that. : ) hahaha. they were so confused by why there was no sign of it.
to make a very long day a short testimony, god showed up in that room and his GLORY came down. it was such a huge opportunity to pray for her and bring her the Lord. when i got there i just stared at her as my whole (unsaved) family was there talking and just waiting. i walked up to her bed and quietly started praying for her. my grandma started crying so hard and just kept saying - shelly, shelly - why has god forgotten me? i got to pray peace and health over, and while doing it, my mom was LITERALLY trying to pull me off of her telling me to stop. i shook her off my arm and without even opening my eyes from my prayer, waved her back and told her to leave me.... it was not nice, but it was what needed to be done. : ) where did that BOLDNESS COME FROM? but, i pressed through although everyone was freaking out because i was praying - which was so huge for me.... then, i got to just love on on her all day long. when i was getting ready to go, we got to talk for a bit, cuz she finally woke up fully. and she asked if that was my cross on the wall. and i told her it belonged to the hospital.... at that point, it opened up a conversation of how much God loved her. she began to cry. she asked me to pray for her again. i did. she said, i have done SO much bad in my life... i got to explain to her how jesus died for that. and when she said she believed in him, it all went away. (the whole time my unsaved family are sitting there with ears attentively listening!) i went on to say, he never remembers it and it was cast into a sea of forgetfulness that he doesnt ever see or think about again... i got to tell her that god doesnt remind her, it is the devil because he hates her & all of us cuz god loves her sooo much. my family started talking and grandma & i just stood there staring at each other. i heard god start to speak over her so i began to tell her i hear god saying, 'i love you. i love you. i love you.' i said that about 20 times, and everytime it was said, i could feel it penetrating her heart. she cried so hard. i got to tell her about heaven and that god told me that she would be there one day - with him forever. and that i heard it was much better than it is here. we both laughed. but the look of expectancy was so intense and so amazing.... my family was not too into it, but jesus showed up and she tasted the glory of god. i saw an angel hanging in the corner and told her that he was there all day. it comforted her so much.
today was probably one of the most amazing experiences in my life. i felt much of the similar things during my grandpa's last days, bringing god into a desperate situation. i dont know if it is the end of their life or just a desperation for god to do a miracle....
i am so filled with his presence, and it is unlike anything i have ever experienced. so much peace.
testimony - incredible! they are keeping her over night for observation and to try and figure out what is up.... i dont know what is going on with her body anymore, but i do know that her spririt is at peace, and god did a miracle in her heart today. if you would continue to pray for her health, i would be eternally greatful.
love, shelly
