Do you believe in Divine Intervention? I do!
~ Divine intervention is a term for a miracle caused by a Deity's active involvement in the human world. ~
I had Divine Intervention when I put my house up for sale in March 2010. My house sold in 5 days in a little town where one or two houses on each city block was up for sale. I sold my home to be close to my daughter never realizing for one minute that my health would begin to decline rapidly.
And when I went for my appointment at the beauty salon the end of May my beautician (Terry ) asked me how I was doing. While I was fighting back tears I told her I had cancer. She and I talked a bit about it and when I was ready to leave Terry gave me a hug. She asked me to write down my telephone number because another one of her clients was in remission from the same type of cancer that I had. Divine Intervention.
I received a call from Sally a few days after I had my first visit with the oncologist. We talked on the phone for a long time. Divine Intervention again. I met Sally for lunch at Avanti’s. She brought me a book to read titled ‘Life, on the Line’ written by Grant Achatz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Achatz Mr. Achatz suffered from the same type of cancer that Sally had and I now have. It appears to me from reading the book that he had the same type of treatment that has been prescribed for me.
Sally is a miracle in my life. Her story is my inspiration.

Then this morning I went to the Genealogical Society’s annual garage sale and I found this:
‘Reflections From the Heart of God” a devotional Bible for women illustrated by Thomas Kinkade and heart reflections by Nanette Kinkade.
And now do you believe in Divine Intervention? I do. I so needed to find something to help me get through the next few weeks.
May God Bless you all. Stay safe and be happy!! I am so grateful for your kind thoughts and prayers.

Absolutely I believe in divine intervention. Nothing happens without purpose. It is not always to our liking, but there is a reason. Keep your chin up, brighter days are ahead for you.
ReplyDeleteI do too, Beth and I am praying for you everyday. I'd like to think Divine Intervention brought you many friends through your blog and we are all here to see you though.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading a story about Mr. Achatz a year ago. It was really interesting and inspiring. I am an absolute believer in divine intervention Beth.
ReplyDeleteThe Lord knows those who are His children. No surprise that He guides you. Xxxoooxxx
ReplyDeleteBeth, I have just had a quick look on Amazon at this book. I am so pleased you are experiencing the leading and comfort of Our Heavenly Father, in this tough battle for you. I will keep you in prayer and thought. God Bless and keep you - Hugs Nita.
ReplyDeleteDIVINE....Very much so Sis... Please know you are not alone there are sooo many of us who are praying for you everyday and your recovery to be as painless and swift as possible. Miracles are happening and there is one for you too. Love to you XOXO
ReplyDeleteI too believe in Divine Intervention. So often there is no explanation for something other than Divine Intervention. Love, Hugs and Prayers always with you Beth!
ReplyDeletei believe we have angels sent to us in our lives when we need them most. bless you!
ReplyDeleteI love the artwork of Thomas Kinkade.
ReplyDeleteDivine Intervention is something we all need.
Hope your general health is good. I understand that Cancer is devastating, but we do need to take care of our general well being as well.

So sorry to hear this, but, I definitely believe in divine intervention. The Lord sometime does things that there is no other way to describe them other than that.
ReplyDeleteThomas Kinkade is one of my favorite artists of all time. I was so sadden hearing of his death. I am lucky to have one of his original paintings - a Christmas one that I put out every year and sometimes leave out for quite a while. It's so soothing.
Blessings and prayers to and for you.

ReplyDeleteYes I do believe. You are in my prayers Beth.
ReplyDeleteDivine intervention - absolutely! You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. God IS with you.
ReplyDeleteThis brought tears to my eyes, Beth. God is working in many ways for your benefit! Blessings to you! Nellie
ReplyDeleteYes, I do believe in divine intervention and most especially when a person is requesting intervention. What a timely meeting of a new friend... Many blessings to you, Beth.
ReplyDeleteDear Beth
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you are going through all of this.And yes i do believe God has every thing in His hand as he created us. We sort of know what all is awaiting you as we went through it with our DIL last year.I wish i could give you a hug, but my prayers are with you!!
Love and hugs Margaret
Oh Yes, I certainly do. This whole thing of our moving is filled with them!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes I do that is awesome for you Beth. I love this post and am so happy you have people around you who love you like we do. HUG B
ReplyDeleteI do believe in Divine Intervention. We have experienced it several times in our lives. I plan to write of one such in the next day or two on my blog. God is great, God is good. I'm on the prayer team at church and I have seen several miracles. One was a lady at age 90 with a serious infection and the only drug that helped caused her heart to have problems. The hospital sent her to hospice. We prayed very hard and often for our friend and suddenly she got well and went home. Recently two friends were in a terrible head on auto accident. The air bag didn't go off. She had a broken neck and other broken bones and they both had collapsed lungs and he couldn't walk for a knee cap injury plus they both had broken ribs. Everyone was so frightened about it as the couple were older. We prayed again almost sure it could not come out well but prayed believing God would intervene and he did. This was three months ago. The casts are off. He can walk. They are again in church every Sunday. It was a miraculous cure and at a rapid speed. We are so grateful. This is only two of many examples. Jesus said "whenever two or three are gathered in my name, there am I also. So I believe that God is with you. That many more than three are praying and really caring. He will send his Angels to watch over you and give you peace. God bless you Beth, and know how very many friends you have who are with you in thought. word, and prayer. God bless you and keep you and give you the "peace that passeth understanding". Hugs! Bertie (BGB)
ReplyDeleteYou have love all around you!
ReplyDeletelove & blessings to you,

i believe that every single thing that happens to us, happens for a reason. the reason often not clear at first, becomes crystal clear at another time!!
ReplyDeletelean on others when you need to beth but you are stronger then you think. i learned that so many times in the last 10 years about myself.
have a happy sunday!!
You are loved. Me
ReplyDeleteSomehow I replied to this post on a different link. Do you have two accounts perhaps? Anyway, it's an excellent post and I do believe!!
ReplyDeleteYes, ma'am, I do. I was working at the drug store in downtown and was having horrible pain that they were telling me I would have to have a hysterectomy to resolve. I was talking to the meter maid and told her how much I wanted more children (we only had one at the time), and she brought me a tape of a healing preacher. I didn't believe in that, but because I loved Betty, the meter maid, and respected her so much, I took it home and watched it. Miraculously, I never had a pain again. When I told my doctor I was healed by the tape, he stuck his finger up my rectum and asked if that hurt....of course it did, and then he told me it wasn't gone. But the pain WAS gone.
ReplyDeleteAbout 3 years later, the same doctor told me that the endometriosis had grown and if I didn't have a hysterectomy before 2 months were out, I would have to have a colostomy. I believed him. I went and gave blood so that when I had my operation, I would only get my blood if I needed it. Then I went to my second job selling tickets for the school district at the football game. One of the ladies there was talking about having the same problem, and when I told her I was going to have to have a hysterectomy, and cried because I always wanted more than one child, she told me that her doctor was treating her with a pill. I went to see her doctor, and he told me I didn't need an operation. I took some of those pills for a week....was supposed to have to take them for a long time....and what do you know? The endometriosis went away and I had two more children, never having that horrid pain again....and never having a hysterectomy Yes, I believe those two women were angels....not in a Heavenly with wings way...but I believe they were sent into my life to answer my prayers.
We are all praying for you, Beth. Not only for healing, but for peace of mind that God is in control Hugs.
Thank God for answered prayers. You have many friends praying for you daily.
ReplyDeleteThere are Angels all around us every day to help us through:)
ReplyDeleteThings happen for a reason, sometimes we don't know why then things fit into place, like for you :)
ReplyDeleteYes. I do believe in divine intervention, and in prayer. You are loved & prayed for. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Beth! The longer I live, the more I realize that divine intervention is all day everyday! Most of the time, I think I miss it! Just a simple thing, yesterday, I happened to stop at my neighbor's yard sale, and she had just the items i was going to shop for... for less than a tenth of the price!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! I absolutely to believe. Happy for you!! Enjoy your new friend and the books. :)
ReplyDeleteI have always believed in Divine Intervention, and will often ask God to guide me through life................
ReplyDeleteI do believe in Divine Intervention also! I also believe that the Lord watches over us and guides us and puts people in our lives in just the right time. I'm so sorry to read about this battle you have to face. I've gone back and read the previous posts and my heart is very sad for you. I will be praying that the Lord will touch you and give you peace as you go through this.
ReplyDeleteOh Beth I just want you to know you are my desrest friend here in Bloggerville. You have been so good and kind to me. More than I deserve. I don't know if I believe in devine intervention or not. I certainly wouldn't say it doesn't exist. Maybe I say that to hedge my bets, but if that's what it is and it helps you on your path to wellness than I believe in it. I know I said we were going to speak on the phone and we will. After I'm done catching up on some blogs I will email you. Take care my friend.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Beth, how I wish you didn't have to face this. You have such a sweet spirit about it all. I do believe in divine interventions and I'm praising God He came your way!
ReplyDeleteYou know you are in my prayers, Beth. God has you in the palm of his hand and even though I know that I wish you didn't have to go through this trial. Blessings to you- keep posting and writing about it because I do believe it is freeing to get it out of your heart and into words. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLove you dear Twin...
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful when these divine interventions show up in our lives just when we need them the most! So happy they have been happening for you! Love and prayers!
ReplyDeleteLiz
I so do! We were just talking about this in my group the other day about the trials and tribulations we have been put in and come out the other end to be a testimony to so many.
ReplyDeleteSally is your testimony and I just know you will be the one for the next person!
I so love you found that book also!!
