the day God sent me an angel

My sister and I were sitting in the waiting room waiting for shift change to be over. We were waiting to go tuck the babies in and we had been sitting there for a few minutes when this older man came around the corner. The waiting room was empty, and the man came and sat down right now to me. I was thinking "seriously? Out of all the seats in here you are going to sit right next to me? (insert eye roll)" 

He sat down and looked over at me and said "this may sound weird to you but God told me to come talk to you." Confused, I said oh okay because I'm awkward. He said "I was waiting on my daughter to get off work so I could take her to dinner but God told me to come up here and talk to you. He said you have twins back there, don't you?" Dumbfounded I said "yes sir, I do" He said "its a boy and a girl, right and that's your sister?" again, I said "yes sir" The man looks me straight in the face and said "yeah I'm not sure how I know these things expect that the big man talks to me and He wanted me to tell you that everything was going to be just fine with your babies." Trying not to cry because I was super emotional, I said well thank you for sharing that with me, I really needed to hear that. The old man told me to continue praying without ceasing, God hears every single prayer. I said "yes I will." Before he left and asked if he could pray over Jordan and I, we prayed together and then he left. 

I looked at Jordan and asked if that really just happened and she said "uhh yes it did." I never saw that old man again, but I will never forget his face. Weeks later I found out that his daughter was the transport nurse that we called angel (from our nicu journey post.)

When God speaks to you make sure you do what He's asking. You never know the impact it will have. Hearing a complete stranger say that God was looking over my family and then having him pray over us, it was so touching. After the old man left us, I felt peace. It was the first time in months that I had felt that. 

God sends signs, I truly believe that. God sent me an old man but he also sent me so many little messages. From the beautiful sunsets to quotes that would come up on my facebook or He would speak to me during a song. All we have to do is listen and trust. Trust in God with all your heart. He's got you.
