The Siesta Miracle

I'm just overwhelmed tonight with the outpouring of love I've received from my post yesterday. Y'all are just the best. Thank you Siestas for being the body of Christ to me. Although we may be separated by miles, I couldn't feel closer to you than I do now.

What I didn't share in my last post was that my Dad had no idea I was putting this prayer request out. When he received the initial diagnosis he didn't want anyone to know. And I respected that.

However, last night when I got off the phone with him, I felt moved by the Holy Spirit to put the prayer request out. And so I did--here, with friends, with prayer groups, and of course with my own church family. The response has been nothing less than God breathed.

The difficult task today became just how to share this with my Dad, knowing full well he might be angry with me for "sharing." I did the only thing a brave Christian daughter could do--I sent an e-mail!! (ok, you can stop laughing now). Yes, I am a bit of a chicken when it comes to potential conflict.

And yes, as you might expect my Dad called this afternoon. God was definitely moving BIG TIME because he was so "up" and "positive." He said he woke up this morning and felt God just wash over Him with a warmth that he couldn't really explain. Then he checked his e-mail. He said he was just overcome by the presence of God--knowing that you were praying for him. And yes, that my Siestas is the miracle!!

So here's to this network of bloggers--those of you who posted, lurked, sent e-mails, but most of all prayed--even if just for a brief moment. I'll end this as I began by simple saying, "I'm Overwhelmed!"

Yes, God is good (all the time) especially in the blogging world.

Extremely grateful,
