And another cheery surprise greeted my inbox this morning. My latest book, Poppy, is featured on a wonderful literary blog. Here is the link for those of you who would like to share and help the new book go viral: https://awomanswisdom.wordpress.com/2015/01/16/new-release-poppy-the-dirty-ditch-digging-dingo-by-vicky-kaseorg/
Meanwhile, in another drama, one of the new expectant mamas I work with to try to help her in her very difficult circumstances needed a car-seat to bring her baby home after her c-section Monday. I found someone with a car-seat to donate, but due to a series of unfortunate events, the car-seat ended up an hour from me, and the donors had left for vacation when they realized it. Two people offered to buy one, but when I priced them, I almost fainted. Car-seats are way more pricey than they were 17 years ago when I had my last baby. I decided it would be better to save those generous people's money for other urgent ministry needs and work with the car-seat donor to see if we could find a solution. After some time, we worked out that the donor would get the seat to me after the weekend, and I would still have time to get it to the mama. It complicated things a bit, since the mama doesn't live nearby and I was going to see her this morning to drop off food. I would have to make the long trip twice in a span of 3 days, but if it saved the ministry money for future needs, it was worth it. This morning, I settled down to coffee and received a text on my phone.
"The carseat is there."
I looked out on my porch. There was the car-seat. How the donor managed to make that happen, I don't know. But it was like a gift from Heaven. Like the sunshine.
Sometimes, it feels like the rain and cold and dreariness will never end. But it does. This is God's promise, and He shows us with every break in the rain.
