We have been praying for "the pregnancy test girl" around here since March when Jeka and I found it in a field on our daily walk together. I saw it, turned upside down, in the middle of the grass and had to turn it over to see the result. POSITIVE. I knew it would be. We left it there in the field, because we didn't want to touch it. Someone had 'used' it, after all, and we didn't have any hand-sanitizer or plastic bags with us...so being the germ-a-phobes we both are, we left the litter right there in the field, where it remained until this very week. This is the first week we haven't seen the test. The field would be freshly mowed with other litter torn into shreds on the grass over and over this spring, but the test remained, for us to see every morning...I believe for us to remember to pray for her and her unborn child, and the father.
That first morning, Jeka and I hypothesized why a positive pregnancy test might be laying in a random field. Did someone take it, show the result to the father who wasn't pleased and then throw it out of their car window in anger and despair? Or as Shelby suggested, was someone so excited about her positive result that she threw her hands up in joy, flinging the test out the car window? Did someone's trash simply blow over and the test blew down the street? You see, it was nowhere near a house. It was in an open field between some random small businesses. And there it remained for months...months! Every morning from March until last week Jeka and I would see the test, positive, two pink lines staring up at us begging us to pray. And, that we did, our whole family, and we still do because it feels like an assignment from God. We will never know the outcome of our prayers or the names or faces of those we pray for, but we have faith that His Will will be done in their lives and for that, we are thankful!
Still, how excited I am at the slightest chance that the pregnancy test girl will some day greet me in heaven, where all things will surely be revealed, and say, "It was me who your family prayed for, and this is my story..."
If you stopped by to read this post, say a prayer for her, would you?
