As God Would Have It

Those words keep reoccurring in my heart and mind today. As God would have it,

  • I made it through church Sunday before having to go to the hospital
  • key people noticed something was wrong and took action
  • Dr Ron was at church; being with him got me special treatment at the hospital!
  • Dr Ron saved me from another ambulance ride, the answer to a long standing prayer of mine
  • some of the people I love most were able to be by my side (thanks Rev Lee)
  • I was showered with love, concern and most importantly, prayers from everywhere
  • it was only my blood pressure
  • medication is addressing the issue
  • after a restless night in MICU, I convinced them to let me go home yesterday (Monday)
  • Kent was off work yesterday and he and Jim drove me to Pensacola and then faced holiday traffic in getting back to Mobile. Sorry guys!

As God would have it, I had everything I needed and more. That's why my favorite hymn is Great is Thy Faithfulness - God always provides for my every need! My heart is grateful for the many prayers, calls, texts, emails and expressions of concern for me and Ryan. I will be at church tonight and on Sunday. I have one more "as God would have it" for you. Sara Sills is preaching this week.

Sara has finished her time of internship at MCC Baton Rouge and we are celebrating her reentry into the life and ministry of Cornerstone MCC. Some of you have watched Sara answer and prepare for her call to ordained ministry for years now. Some of you are new and may not even know her. Either way, let's fill God's house this week as we welcome and bless both Sara and Kay as they take this next step on their journey.

We have many reasons to rejoice. We also have many among us who need prayer. The theme of the service tonight is prayer. Join us during our live broadcast at 6:30pm or take 30 minutes to watch it later in our video archives. Again, I thank everyone for their prayers. My heart is full of love and appreciation.

Rev Sandy, Pastor
