Doctors have always been a part of Caroline's life. Some we have liked, some we have loved, and others have been much less than desirable.
We attend church with Caroline's primary pediatrician. He has been in her life since birth. He has stepped out and prayed for her healing and given her special attention and treatment...kind of hard not to b/c Caroline captures your heart).
We went to see him yesterday as part of a pre-op visit. He had to do an over-all check on her because Caroline will have a dental procedure on Friday that requires anesthesia.
Caroline used to hate going to the doctor. I think she had just had enough. She was tired of looking at those people.
As we pulled in the parking lot yesterday...she was grinning from ear to ear. We checked in and got called back and she immediately began looking at the door...just waiting on the doctors arrival. When he came in the room, it was the welcome anyone would want. She outwardly told him in every way she is capable of that she loved him.
It was the sweetest thing.
She checked out great. She is physically in good shape for the anesthesia and the procedure.
As we were preparing to leave, our sweet pediatrician knelt down and prayed over Caroline. It was a wonderful moment. I felt so blessed and knew that God had placed him in her life for a special reason.
Later last night...Shep was home with the girls. I had gone to choir practice...and after bath time and other stuff Ava asked Shep the sweetest thing.
Ava- Is God everywhere daddy?
Shep- Yes, sweetie. God can be present anywhere.
Ava- Is God here right now?
Shep- Yes, but where God really likes to live is in our heart.
Ava- Will God heal Caroline once He lives in my heart?
Shep- Not necessarily, but He would like to live in your heart. Do you want to ask him to live in your heart?
Ava- Yes
Shep- Do you want me to pray with you?
Ava- No
(She runs into her room and Shep can hear her praying.....oh how I know God heard that sweet thing. This conversation is not ver batim b/c I wasn't there...it is paraphrased...but you get the point. Also, we get that Ava doesn't really get the whole sin thing yet...but what a great start to knowing her Savior!)
This is the 4th time Ava has spontaneously mentioned Caroline's healing in the last 2 weeks....what sweet faith!!!!!
