Disappointment - to hope?

I went to group last night and told all the ladies of how disappointed I feel lately. The leader, MC, summed it up by saying, "you are so overwhelmed, you can't see that light at the end of the tunnel. You just need something to cling onto."

She was so right. I cried when I told them of my fears of Boo and her life. Again, MC understood because she has 3 kids of her own. She said, "it's so much easier when it is just you. But when it is your kids, it tears you apart."

My assignment for the week was to let everyone know if Boo passed or failed the evil test. She said if Boo passed, everyone could Hallejua. If she failed, I'd need their support. We didn't have long to wait. This morning, the test results were posted. And, she passed! I cried my eyes out for about 1/2 hour. I knew I was stressed/scared, but had no idea just how much. I let everyone know.

I got back the sweetest note from my new friend, N. She wrote, "I just knew it. When you were talking last night, I just sensed that you were going to get your miracle. I’m SO happy for you and Boo!!!! Congratulations! God does surprise us when we least expect it!!! This gives everyone that hope that we seemed to be lacking last night! This has made my day that you got your miracle."

Not only did the miracle help bring back my hope but another "God thing" happened. A friend of mine told me she was glad to hear of the news. When I visited her page, there, with today’s date, she had exactly the spot I opened to in the bible yesterday during our group meeting. I had just opened it up and commented that I opened to my favorite book and chapter(Ecclesiastes 3). It didn't seem that odd to me when it happened (even though it wasn't my bible), Ecclesiastes is in the middle of the bible. But, when M was my first friend's page to visit and I saw the reference, it was as if the big G said, "I was telling you last night, I was there. And, now I'm telling you again, I am here. Be patient. There is a time for everything."
