Last night, our family experienced a miracle! As you know,
Zoe has been sleeping in her crib at night now for the past 2 weeks. It's been hard for me to make the transition from having her right next to us in bed to having her stay in her own room. Before I leave her by herself, I always say a little prayer asking the Lord and His angels to watch over her through the night. I set up a camera at the foot of her crib (so the angle is I see her feet and body, but not so much her face). I wake up from time to time to check on her through my monitor next to the bed ... when I woke up at 3:41 a.m. last night, I couldn't help but to see the most beautiful image sleeping next to Zoe ... usually, Zoe's bear, "Bubba" sleeps next to her. He's the bear that sings "Jesus Loves Me" and also has the same thing written on his chest. For some reason, last night, when I looked through the monitor, Bubba looked like Jesus' face!!!! It was the most surreal thing! I couldn't figure out why Bubba's feet and Zoe's blanket somehow looked like Jesus tucked into bed sleeping soundly next to Zoe!!! The image on the monitor is black and white so I was staring and staring and staring for a long long time until I decided to wake Mike up to see if he saw the same thing. When Mike woke up, he wiped the muta from his eyes and confirmed that he, too, saw Jesus sleeping soundly next to Zoe!!! What a beautiful blessing!!! It's an image I will never ever ever forget and I immediately thanked God for calming my nerves and letting me know that Zoe will be ok and will always be protected while she sleeps in her own room. Fortunately, our monitor allows us to take still photos of the video. I took 2 or 3 shots and hope that once I am able to upload them, you too can see Jesus' face sleeping next to Zoe. I don't have the right uploader here at home but I'm hoping the one Tita Bot has will work.
Just thought I'd share our beautiful experience last night. I always knew God was with us ... and last night, He gave us such a blessing in being able to see physical proof that He's literally right next to our Zoe and keeping her safe.
Update: I uploaded the pictures and sadly, Jesus' face could not be seen. In the images I took, it just looks like Bubba's feet and Zoe's blanket. A part of me kind of knew the image probably wouldn't turn out, but I was slightly disappointed nonetheless. Regardless, the memory of it will be a picture I will hold near and dear to my heart forever =) ...
Here's a couple of pictures of Zoe and her bear, Bubba =)
