Rebekah's Bedside - An Answer to Prayer

WOW, God is good and meet's our needs no matter how trivial they might be. Let me tell you how.

Yesterday afternoon I was looking at Rebekah's Blog wondering how I could add some music to it. I didn't know what I would add, or even if I had anything worth adding. Most of all, I didn't know how to even go about doing it.

Last night I spent the night at Rebekah's Bedside. This is not something that I have gotten to do since the very first night we spent in the hospital back in April. It was absolutely heart-wrenching and difficult. She was up multiple times throughout the night hitting herself and trying to cry (she can't cry with her throat) and trying to scream (she can't scream either) "mommy." All that came out was the most faint whisper that you could barely hear from 5 feet away.

What kept me going, however, was a song that was written and recorded just for Rebekah at her birth 3 1/2 years ago. It is, as only God could have done, fortuitously entitled "Rebekah's Bedside" and is recorded by its artist, Uncle Mark Schwander. It was in my head all night.

Then, when I got back to the trailer this morning I saw that one of our regular visitors, Steve Sporre, had been on Rebekah's Blog and I decided to visit his blog: Jubalingen.Blogspot.com Just yesterday he posted an audio file which showed me how I could post Rebekah's Bedside for all of you to hear. Thank you God for giving me Steve!

Here it is. (If you only have dial-up please decide whether you want to do this or not - it is almost 5 megs in size and may take a while.)

Wow!.....Such a message of encouragement in song for all of you! Thanks to Mark for using his God-given gifts to create it.
We continue to pray for Rebekah.

Love, Jodi

Who'd have thought that a song written 3 1/2 years ago for a totally different circumstance would be just what you needed at this time in your lives? Must've been in God's plan from the beginning. Thanks for sharing it.
