From Pain to Purpose: Meeting Marley

From Pain to Purpose: Meeting Marley

So JESUS showed up today! I scheduled a walk in appointment at OrthoCarolina this afternoon for another cortisone shot for my right knee. Upon leaving Ortho/Randolph I noticed a young man sitting with his mom. As I walked by them and approached the door, I internally heard Jesus tell my heart to turn around. I did and my life has changed for the better. I had the honor to meet Marley, 11 years old, and Shauna his Mom. Marley suffers from Epidermolysis Bullosa, the Butterfly disease. I knelt down and asked him if he could go anywhere in the world where would he go? God gave me that question. Marley loves Transformers and said Universal. I said DONE in the name of Jesus! We will start planning Marley, his parents and 2 siblings trip to University Studios in Orlando in the upcoming days with West Blvd Ministry covering the costs. Afterwards, I prayed with Marley & Shauna, then Marley asked if he could pray for my knee. I broke down as he thanked God for bringing him an Angel today. His sweet voice covered me with the Holy Spirit. We never know what could & will happen if we listen to God’s call on our heart. It wasn’t about my knee today, it was ALL about my new friend Marley. To God alone be all the glory, now and forever!
