Hello all!
This week has been quite exciting, with the inspiring mission president seminar, fun Halloween celebrations, beautiful fall colors and frantic preparations for our outbound assignments! There are many embarrassing stories I could tell, great people I could talk about or spiritual experiences I could share.... But after much thought I've decided to tell you this:
This week, a dear friend and fellow sister missionary went to the hospital and I accompanied her in the ambulance because her companion had responsibilities at a site. I don't really want to go into the details, but it was serious enough that the doctors decided to life flight her in a helicopter to Iowa city. As the helicopter was taking off, all I wanted in that moment was someone to be with her. It didn't have to be me, I just wanted someone, anyone who cares about her to be there by her side during this.
I distinctly remember these 4 words coming into my mind. I know they came from Him who is all powerful and all loving:
"She's in my hands."
In this moment, watching the helicopter rise in the air, I realized with a sense of peace that there could be no one who loves her more by her side. She's in the hands of the one Being in the universe who cares the most about her. She is in His hands. (That phrase was also repeated in a priesthood blessing I received that night.)
I've been pondering those words all week, and realized that it applies to all of us, no matter what situation we are in. God is our loving Heavenly Father and He is watching over us. Whatever happens this week, please remember who's hands you are in. You are in His hands.
"Know ye not that ye are in the hands of God?" (Mormon 5:23)
"They may forget, yet will I not forget thee, O house of Israel. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands." (1 Nephi 21:15-16)
We can trust Him. I know that there are no better hands we could be in. He hears and answers our prayers.
Speaking of prayers, please pray for sister Done. She is getting better but still needs our faith, love and support!
Until next week!
Sincerely,
Sister Bush
