We weren't able to schedule our ultrasound for Tai until Thursday, August 7th. These past few days have been going by extremely slow. I'm so paranoid now when it comes to her. I panic when I noticed that she isn't as active or I google certain symptoms to make sure things are okay, which at times back fires. I've been praying more lately asking Heavenly Father for comfort & ease my stress. With many prayers said, I know in my heart that everything is just fine with our Tai.
Yesterday I had a very neat & touching experience. Anelia & I ran to Target to get some things for Sage's surprise for our two year anniversary, which is tomorrow. After doing so, I turned on the car, loaded Anelia in & then began loading my items. While loading my bags into the car I noticed an elderly lady walking out of the store. She had a severe hunched back, to the point where her shoulders were at about a 45 degree angle from her hips. She was carrying a large open bag of popcorn & a small cup of hot coffee. With each step she took her popcorn and coffee would spill, some of the coffee had even spilled on her. When I noticed her, she was walking near two other females who I thought were with her & waited to see if they were going to help her. They both continued right passed her. As soon as I realized they weren't going to help I rushed to her side and offered to hold her things until she got to her car. She tilted her head up & I'll never forget how relieved her face looked, she responded by saying "Yes please, thank you!" After she sat comfortably in the drivers seat she asked "Can I share something with you?" I then noticed tears streaming from her eyes and said "of course..." She said "Less than 5 minutes ago I saw a little girl in there. God told me to do something nice for her so I gave her $5. Then as I was walking out here I was thinking how much I needed help & then, just like that, God sent you! See how fast God works?" I was so pleased to hear that this sweet elderly lady believed God had sent me to help her. Although I didn't do much, I'm thankful that I was there to assist her in her time of need. Growing up we were always taught to help those in need, especially our elders. I don't feel that I did anything special, I just did what I knew was right to do.
With my mind being stressed over the wellbeing of my unborn child I'm thankful that our Heavenly Father brought that little elderly lady across my path. She brightened my day & eased my mind to know that He is thinking of me & knows my struggle. I may have helped that elderly lady but she helped me also. I needed something to make me happier and think positively & she did just that. I know that our Father in Heaven is mindful of each & every struggle we go through & that he places people in our lives to help lift us when we need it the most.
Happy Sunday, xo!
