Two years ago my husband and I were trying to decide where to send our oldest son to school. It felt like one of the biggest life decisons we would ever have to make. There are many schools in our area and we wanted to make the best choice for him and for our family. Whichever school we chose would lead him to people in his life that would be there for a very long time. Teachers, children and families that he would forever be involved with. And we have another son that would follow in his footsteps along that same path, at the same school.
We were being pulled in every direction. I had been telling Jesus that I wanted him to make the decision. I prayed about our situation often and of course talked it over with my family and friends. But I was desperate for the RIGHT answer, for His answer. For once, I did not trust myself. The time was growing closer when we had to tell the schools our enrollment decision. I made one last ditch effort to God, I said jokingly, "can't you please give me a physical sign to show me where you want my son to go to school. You might be trying to tell me the answer but I can't decipher it. Can you PLEASE just give me the first letter of the school." I was praying this as I was walking out of my office. I steped out of the door and looked out into the sky and there was a huge and larger than life "L". The first letter of one of the schools we had been considering. It was a glorious "L". I couldn't believe it. God just changed the universe to provide me with an "L" in the sky. A miracle for me!!?? How could he? But I knew right then and there that HE COULD, and HE DID perform that miracle for me, for us, for our family. The very next day I opened up my Bible to this scripture reading, Psalm 19, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the works of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard...The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple." Praise the Lord, another confirmation! Now, my son is at the school of God's choice and my younger son will start at the same school next year. What a comfort! What a great feeling to know that we have a God that cares and loves us this much. This miracle has since increased my faith and trust in the Lord. Thank you Jesus for your miracles, your love and your saving grace.
