Why am I surprised that God did it again?

We told her we were headed to a meeting and she was so excited she was getting to go.... yet she had no idea the surprise she would get!

In my life I have honestly experienced some enormous God-sized miracles and blessings… Sometimes even back to back. To this day I do not know why I do not expect God to blow my mind in the blessing area. For some reason if God has just like blown my mind with an amazing gift I assume it will be some time before I receive again. God has been a God of blessings in my life for as long as I can remember. I mean like in the department “of only God can do” things. He continues to be up close, real, and personal in my “heart” department.

After being able to surprise my family back in September, having someone buy me a plane ticket… Never did I dream that the same thing would happen for my mom coming this direction. My kids have been doing great here, but have really been missing family. Without exaggeration, they pray every day for Grammie as well as others in my family to get a plane ticket. I have known and trusted that God’s timing is perfect, but I have been discouraged that each time she has tried to plan a trip it has just not worked out. I found myself praying this way, “Lord, I know You have the perfect time for my mom to be here and I feel so blessed that you gave me that trip home. I am just choosing to trust You and Your timing.” Why did I not believe that God could and would bless my mom the same way he blessed me? I operated as if I felt like I had used up the blessing box or my blessing was just so big that it sounded crazy that another one would come along so quickly?!?!

Thank you Lord for reminding me that your blessings and mercies are countless and timeless. Thank you to the family that made it possible for my mom to come and surprise my kids. Let me assure you that their love and joy tanks are over flowing. Thank you for providing her the opportunity to come and see how God wants her to be part of what He is doing here in Burkina. May your family be forever blessed for your sacrifice!!!

Isabella and Gabriella walked up to where I was standing.  When I moved and my mom was standing there, Isabella froze... Gabriella busted around her to get her Grammie.

Talk about one happy Gabriella!

Isabella's smile has gotten bigger but she still has not moved!  I think she was in SHOCK!

Gabriella is still in heaven with her BFF.

Reality for Isabella has sunk in and now she is wanting some love from her Grammie!

A lot if joy, but Isabella still has had no words!

The Favorite Son-n-Law is excited too!

The girls said that this was the best meeting ever!

Our guard Surge knew the surprise that was coming.  He stayed with the boys to be part of the surprise and to meet his white Grandma.

After about a minute Surge got up to greet my mom.  He sat down and within 10 seconds Noah noticed a very familiar face and his jaw dropped.

IT"S GRAM!!!

 

Samuel and Silas want to join in on this.

Samuel and his Grammie!

Silas and his Grammie! 

The Feild Family as well as Surge are very HAPPY and BLESSED!
