Those words tumbled through my head this evening at 7 pm, mere seconds before removing Helmut for the final rash check--which would determine whether or not we would be going back to Children's tomorrow for a re-scan to get a NEW Helmut.
David brought Hawk into the kitchen (where I was mopping up "Hulk Punch" that I had spilled from a small Avengers party we had for David's birthday this afternoon) and we prayed once again for his rash.
This morning I "laid out a fleece" before the Lord. This phrase comes from the book of Judges where Gideon was seeking to determine God's will for him in regards to going to battle...
"36 Then Gideon said to God, "If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said,
37 behold, I am laying a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece alone, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said."
38 And it was so. When he rose early next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water.
39 Then Gideon said to God, "Let not your anger burn against me; let me speak just once more. Please let me test just once more with the fleece. Please let it be dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground let there be dew."
40 And God did so that night; and it was dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew."
Our "fleece" was that if Judah's rash wasn't completely cleared up by 7 pm then I would take him in tomorrow.
So we took off Helmut. And Rash was dim... But still present.
So in we go. And we trust this is God's plan for our little Hawk :)
