Chapter 14
It was Friday, I was having my date with Cameron. Cameron was bringing pizza, and we were just going to talk and get to know each other. We were going to have our date at my house, so dad took John to the park. I went to the kitchen and made popcorn for a snack after pizza, then sat on the couch and waited for Cameron to get here. I heard someone ring the doorbell. I went to the door and looked through the peep hole to make sure it was Cameron. It was Sara. Why would Sara be here? I opened the door.
"Hey, Sara, why are you- Sara? What's wrong?" her face was wet from crying. She looked like a mess.
"My dad, he started having a seizure. He stopped, but he passed out. Mom is at work, our phone isn't working, and I didn't know who else to come to. Jeremiah is at home alone, I know I shouldn't have left him there, but I had to get help. I need to use your phone." for once, it was her crying, and not me.
"Sara, of course you can use my phone. You know where it is." I replied. Sara ran through my house to get to the phone. I followed after her. She picked up the phone and dialed a number. A few minutes after, she hung up and dialed a different number.
Mom, an ambulance is going to come get dad. He had a seizure and he passed out.
Jeremiah is at home, with dad. I'm going to get him.
Yes, I love you, too, mom. Please hurry.
Bye.
When she hung up she hugged me and started crying again.
"Jennette, I know tonight you were having your date with Cameron tonight, but I- I didn't know what to do. I'm so scared." Sara pulled away from me.
"Sara, everything is going to be okay. God has everything in control, you just have to Trust Him. You can stay in my room until we can go to the hospital and see your dad. Go get Jeremiah, and bring him over here." I replied
"Thank you, Jennette." Sara said and wiped the tears out of her eyes, then left. A few minutes after she left, Cameron rang the doorbell. I opened the door.
"Hey, Cameron! Come in!" I opened the door wider so he could get in.
"Hello, Jennette!" Cameron walked in.
"I made popcorn for a snack after the pizza. I mean, we aren't going to eat the whole pizza, so why not get a snack?" I laughed. I lead Cameron to the couch and we sat down.
"Since you are a Christian now, I thought we could pray together before we eat." Cameron suggested.
"That'd be wonderful." I replied.
"I can pray first, then you can add anything you want to. Is that okay with you?" he suggested.
"Yep!" I responded. We both bowed our heads and closed our eyes, and Cameron started:
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for this food You have given us.
We ask that You give food to the hungry, and
shelter to the homeless. We pray that You Bless
our friends and family, and we ask that You
help us through the trials this life holds for us.
Then he stopped and I continued:
Thank You for sending Cameron to me so I
would find You. Thank You for all of Your
Blessings, and thank You for giving me
everything I have today. I ask that You help
Sara's father, and heal his body. Don't let anything
happen to him. Shelter him from satan's harmful
ways. In the Name of Jesus we pray all of this,
Amen.
"Amen." Cameron said. I opened the pizza box and put two slices on my plate and on Cameron's.
"Here you go. I gave you two slices, I'm not sure how much you want." I handed him his plate.
"Thank you, this is enough. What happened to Sara's father?" he asked.
"He had a seizure and he passed out. Sara had to come over and call the ambulance and her mom because her phone quit working. She's supposed to be back. She's going to stay in my room while her mom's at work and her dad is at the hospital." I replied.
"I see." Cameron nodded.
"I'm not okay right now. I'm worried about Sara and her family. What if her dad dies or something? Sara always acts tough, but I know she stresses, too." I said.
"Jennette, you have to put it in God's Hands. I know, it's easier said than done, but that's the only option you have right now. There's nothing you can do about Sara's dad, so you shouldn't think of any "ideas" to help." Cameron replied. Just then Sara knocked on the door.
"It's Sara. I'll be right back." I said and went to open the door.
"Sara, come in. We have pizza, you can have some." I told her and we went to the living room.
"Hey, Cameron." Sara said when she saw Cameron.
"Sara, do you want to sit down for a second with your brother? If it's okay with you, I want to pray for you and Jeremiah, and of course, your father." Cameron said, making room for Sara to sit down. Sara nodded then sat down beside of him. I sat down on the other side of Sara.
Father God,
We come before Your Throne this day for a healing. You said by Your Stripes we are Healed, and I believe what You wrote in Your Word. Heal Sara's father in Jesus' Name. I plead the Blood that was shed on Calvary over this family, I believe that You will move mountains just to help them. Give this family peace in their souls. Give them faith to believe that You can heal anyone.
In Jesus' Name I pray this, Amen.
"Sara, do you believe your dad will be healed?" Cameron asked when he was finished praying.
"Yes." Sara replied.
"Then keep believing and keep praying, and, if it be God's Will, your dad will be healed." Cameron smiled.
"Thank you, guys." she got up. I put three slices of pizza on a plate and handed it to her. She smiled then went upstairs with Jeremiah.
