Okay, so since I didn't have time to touch on it much in the my last post (the referral post!) I thought I'd take a moment here on Easter to describe what the Wednesday thing is all about.Please know this is not just a story I just started discussing post-referral, many people were aware of the Wednesday thing for months and even shared in my excitement about it every week over the past few months. So here it goes:
Back in late January I was in bed praying. It was a Monday night. I said to God, "here's the thing Lord, if I just knew what day this referral was coming on, it would make my days go by so much easier, I wouldn't stress as much on the other days because I would know it's probably not coming. So, I guess I just really want to know what day it will come on."
Then, I swear, He told me softly, "Wednesday".
Now, at the time I was thinking, "Is my mind playing tricks on me or did he just tell me Wednesday? I really think he just told me because if I was picking a day I woulda probably said Tuesday because that's tomorrow!" The next morning I told Mark and a few others all about my conversation with God. The funny thing is, and Mark reminded me of this right away was that God didn't tell me which Wednesday. (Tricky little God we have, huh? Such a sense of humor He has!) But from then on, every Wednesday (including this past week) I would talk to Mark in the morning and express my excitement about the fact that it was Wednesday. I'd even put little things on Facebook about how I'm hopeful for a call because it's Wednesday, etc.
Wouldn't you know it... at 1:43 on Wednesday, March 31st we got the call that we now know has changed our lives forever.
I know this conversation to some might sound childish and silly. And that some will even say "Well, they had a 20% chance of getting the call on a Wednesday anyway." To those who think that way, I say think what you want. But to me, I felt him telling me that night and it came true. So, I say, Thank you Lord for fulfilling your promise to me yet again. And on this day when we celebrate you and how you fulfilled your promise, I praise you for all you have sacrificed for me.
