I have to tell you all what happened to me the other day. I can't help but keep thinking about it and wondering...what does it mean? Is it a sign? Is God trying to tell me something? Am I supposed to do something? What???
I was on the Down Syndrome Association of Houston facebook page scanning for updates etc. and I see a post from a man who had just gotten a tattoo of a butterfly that had his son's name and some things about DS intermingled in the wings and things. I thought it was pretty and a good idea. Something I have often thought about doing myself, but anyway, the tattoo also contained a bible verse "Jeremiah 1:5". The man explained that the reference to the verse was something his mom had sent to him when they received the dx. I thought that I should look it up and just see what it said, because my bible verse memorization skills are not all that great anymore..... maybe later..... no time right now, I have a million other things to be doing. Surprisingly, I never got around to looking it up.
A few days later, 3 of the older children and I as well as AAsher were going to Wal-Mart for school supplies. We had to park at the back of the parking lot as usual, but that's ok, AAsher likes the ride. I unload the stroller and we proceed towards the store. All of the older kids were walking ahead of us. We get about halfway to the store and I hear this very loud, clanking sound directly behind me. Sort of sounded like metal or money/change of some kind hitting the ground and spinning around until finally it stopped. I turned to see... no one walking behind us or anyone for that matter, but what I did see shining in the sunlight was this round coin, like a mardi gras dubloon (sp). I hadn't seen that when I walked past earlier....... I would have had to have stepped right on that as would have all the kids........ someone would have definitely picked that up, especially my inquisitive 8 year old......... where did it come from? From the sound of it, it FELL from somewhere........... so, I go and pick it up.............. It reads "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart. Jeremiah 1:5" WHAT????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? I'm not sure what or where or why, but I have been carrying this silver coin around with me ever since...... A sign?
