GOD SHINING BRIGHT

BY STACY BOOK

     I would like to share with you, what I believe to be a miracle, my mom and dad experienced when I was about 5 or 6 years old.  I got real sick one day.  I'm not sure what was wrong.  It may have been a virus.  I wouldn't eat anything.  Anything I ate, any medicine I took, I could not keep it down.  I wasn't even responding too well.  My fever started going up.  After it reached between 104 and 105 degrees, my mom, dad, and grandmother took me to the emergency room.  Before they took me, they prayed together and asked God to please be with me.  After I got up there, I started doing a little better. They admitted me into a room. 

     That night, as my mom and dad were in the room with me, they knelt down at the end of my bed. The room was dark, the curtains were shut. There was no light at all. They continued to pray together. As they were praying, a bright light shone down on my bed. It was an awesome sight for my mom and dad. God was showing them that I was going to be alright.

     Lamentations 2:19 says,  Arise, cry out in the night,

                                           as the watches of the night begin;

                                           pour out your heart like water

                                           in the presence of the Lord.

                                           Lift  up your hands to him

                                           for the lives of your children 

     After I woke up, the fever was down and I was feeling a whole lot better.  Psalm 57:10 says, For great is your love, reaching to the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
