Lost and Found

This week has been one big roller coaster.  We started out this week excited about the new team that was coming and planning on doing a medical.  Lots of hours go into a week like this and we were very thankful we had a few nurses that had done it before.  We saw over 1200 patients this week and many people made confessions of faith.  However, during the week John and I both lost things that were precious to us.  John misplaced his wallet at the beginning of the week and Sydney misplaced her bag of favorite clothes.  We did lots of praying and asking around for help to find the stuff but without success.  Finally, today we had both things found along with an amazingly cool day from a very refreshing down pour of rain all night last night. 
One of the team members almost was drowned at the ocean today and the story is just amazing.  God truly does use us in mysterious ways.  The gentlemen that pulled her out of the ocean and got her breathing again didn't know Jesus Christ as his saviour and when she told him she wanted to see him in heaven with her someday because of what he had done to save her life he said he also wanted to be there and accepted Christ as his saviour.  There have been many things and people lost this week and God has redeemed them all.  I know without a shadow of a doubt that God is watching over us and taking care of us down here.  He has sent a very special lady this week to help us with Kyle.  Sometimes when parents are at the end of their ropes God will send a redeemer and that is what He has done this week.  I can not thank Him enough for what He has done for our family this week.  Not only for helping us find the stuff we had lost but to bring redemption and grace back into our family.  I will never forget this week and what Molly has done for us.  May God richly bless her life for what she has done.  To God be the Glory
