A few days ago I couldn’t get a hold of my adult daughter. She was supposed to be moving to a new state and when I went to contact her, there was no answer. I called my mom and sister to see had they heard anything and nothing. We checked all of her social media sites and she was silent. This was totally out of character for her. She places her whole life on the web.
I decided to contact the police and asked them to do a welfare check on her. I explained to them I live in another country and asked them to please call my mother and update her on their findings. All day and night I waited for a call from my mom or my sister and nothing. I called them to see had they heard any news and nothing. I called the police back and they were of no help.
Finally, I called my mom back and as our conversation was ending; she said jokingly, maybe you should call your ex-husband. I replied jokingly, yeah if his wife will let him go. But that’s just what I did. I called him left a message and five minutes later he called back.
I explained the situation to him and immediately he was on it. Mind you, he’s not her biological father. He wasn’t where he could go physically check on her but he sent someone out there. A few hours later, he got back with me to say he touched basis with her and that he spoke directly to her.
I felt so relieved. Someone I never thought to call was the one that God used to put my family fears at ease. 48hrs of not knowing whether your child is alive or dead is gut wrenching and not being able to be there is even more traumatic.
This whole ordeal has taught me to never discount anyone even my ex-husband. For God had him do what the police couldn’t or didn’t do and that was locate my child. So whoever God chooses to help you, be grateful not hateful and thank God he still showed you favor.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
