Beloved of All
May you find encouragement in this testimony.
Around 2014 one of my daughters was missing. On an October evening said: "I'll see you later" as she left, kissed her son 3 years old then.
Didn’t come home. Then began calling saying she’s on her way home. Minutes turned into hours then hours into days. Long story but this is the condensed version. Then nothing.
Everyone in our home was frantic. Her friends, real and virtual, stopped hearing from her. We filed police reports. As well as registered her with Polaris Project.
I left my prayer request here as well. My church friends prayed. Then I prayed incessantly. By this time my husband was near breakdown as well as her siblings. My grandson was also sad.
One day I sat by the window, said the Our Father first. Then I covered my head with a veil, and spoke to the Lord. From then on every time I prayed I covered my head.
I said the one time:
Father thank you for everything in my life. Including this lesson. Forgive me where I have failed you. What did I miss? How did this happen? We failed you.
I return your daughter to you. She was with you before she became my daughter. You allowed her to be with us as her parents. May your will be done in our life as well as hers. You know where she is. I place her in your hands.
Whatever your will is for our life we will abide by it. May your warring angels be with her, may prayer waitrons minister to her. May intercession assist her wherever she may be. May your will be done. You are omnipotent and omnipresent. Thank you in all things.
A light breeze moved the curtains in the room. As a family we kept going. Keeping the Sabbath holy. Letting go as we trust in God.
During this time we had people looking for her. Posted on Twitter. Opened an IG to find her. Went on most social platforms.
Her sister and husband arrived from another state to look for her. They promised to bring her home. They tried. Night after night, day after day.
Yet no one did.
About one year and 1/2 later I began having dreams of her. Then one day in a dream as vivid as a bright sunny day, "I saw her happy, spinning in a bright light, happy."
The next day I let my husband know what I saw. That I believe God would bring her home. I just didn’t know how.
About 2 months later, out of the blue, in the blink of an eye, she was home.
Her son was 5 by the time she was back, yet he never stopped praying the Our Father.
She’s home. Are things perfect? Yes, because this is the will of God. Have we faced other challenges? Yes, but in any case, had she been returned to us in a body bag, nothing was easy but prayer was answered.
Prayers are answered. Sometimes immediately. Sometimes never. Sometimes in a completely different way than we imagine.
The spiritual walk is not for the faint of heart, but facing life with God than without is much better.
Proof of how God works.
Four years before her missing - on my rewards card I selected a location that would receive like 2% of every purchase.
Once she was home, she mentioned a location where she was. That persons from XYZ location would take her food -
What’s the location??? It’s the place where my little 2% was going for 4 years before anything happened.
Live. Trust God. Pray. Fast. Obey His commandments. When you pray, ask, knock, seek. Then let go. Keep going.
