Time It Customer Service - Just In Time




We returned home from Shreveport after learning our healthy looking, healthy acting son had been diagnosed with cancer. Before leaving Shreveport that Friday for the long trip home my husband, Lee, had the oil changed in our car.

After an emotional roller coaster weekend of knowing our God is faithful, but facing hard possibilities, Monday morning came - and with it a "Customer Service" phone call from the Time It Lube in Shreveport...."not a good time for this" I thought. Oh, but it was.

The gentleman from Time It was so kind and when he heard that our son wasn't well immediately asked if it was okay to Pray!! Wow, was it OK!!! And did he Pray and encourage and Pray some more.

I am certain our Awesome God heard his words, and subsequent prayers this "Special Agent" from the Lord has prayed. I am also convinced that God uses His children to bring about on earth what He has already decreed in Heaven.

This whole story is to remind me, and maybe you, as well, that God gave us each other as great gifts to each other straight from His heart... Our part is to listen and obey - even if it means taking a Customer Service call - that moves Heaven and blesses hearts. This "Special Agent" continues to follow up and pray and encourage by reminding us of God's Promises.

Caron,

This is such an awesome story. The "Time It" man was right on time!!!

My friends, the Keller's, whose son suffered a traumatic brain injury and survived, went by these words..."You can't go by what you see or have been told. You have to go by what you know! And we know God and He has promised to heal John!" They said most of what they saw and what the doctors were telling them was NOT good. But, they knew God and they knew His promises and that is what they clung to.

John was in the hospital in Houston for about 8 months and they said they continually met people in grocery store lines, in restaurants, at the mall, etc. where conversations would come up about why they were in Houston. They met soo many prayer warriors in that manner. It's always amazing who is willing to take on your prayer burden, complete strangers.

So, I say, Tell everyone you can. The more people you have praying, the better.

John's family has kept his miracle journey blog going. Now it is mostly dedicated to prayer requests for others. I have posted Brett's needs there. Please keep me posted so I can update on their blog.

Below is a link to John's blog, if you need some encouragement.
