I'm not trying to start a debate on if there is a God or not, but something really special happened this evening that I wanted to share.
I've been having a VERY hard time with my ex lately. He is trying VERY hard to turn my daughter against me. Since he found this new girlfriend, Maddy has become very...well, almost "tainted" by my ex. His girlfriend is helping feed this problem with her.
He called me tonight to give me my nightly update on how Maddy's day was, and said that she didn't want to talk to me. I could hear his gf in the background "prompting" her to speak to me...almost like it was some sort of set up. I was barely on the phone 2 minutes before he hung up, and said that Maddy would call me in the morning.
My bf and I had just sat down to dinner. He asked for my hand across the table, held it, and said that he wanted to try something. While we are both Christians, we've never prayed during dinner before, but we did tonight. He said a prayer thanking God for all that He has done for us, and to please watch over Madison, and to make sure that she is watched over and loved. He also asked Him to help us through this hard time, and to remind us that Maddy loves us.
After dinner, I went to the car to go grocery shopping. My phone rang. It was Madison. She said in a very chipper tone, "Hi Mommy!!" and started babbling on about her day. A moment later, I heard my ex in the background, asking Maddy what she was doing. She told him, "I'm talking to MY Mommy." He told her to stop playing with the phone, went to take it, and I said that I was still talking to her.
My ex then discovered that I was actually on the phone.
He didn't dial the phone for Maddy.
Maddy took the phone, knew which buttons to push, and called me. She's only 3.
I seriously believe that God was watching over us tonight, wanting me to know that Maddy does love and care for me. My ex was very aggrivated that she was talking to me, and promptly had his gf try to "teach" Maddy how to hang up the phone (she was saying, "Here, let Dawn show you how to hang up. Press THAT button."....all the while, Maddy was still telling her she was talking to me).
Sometimes when you think that you're at the bottom, something special like this happens. I just wanted to share.
It made both myself and my bf cry when we realized what happened.
