Around March of last year, during worship at @favor.church, I was in tears after God so clearly told me that my Dad was gonna have another child, and that he was going to be given a new beginning. I felt Him say that things were gonna get crazy\u2014in a good way, ofc. Don\u2019t know how to explain it, but it was so clear, specific, and out of the blue. I told everyone around me before telling my Dad (in the presence of our Connect group because I needed witnesses) &#x1f606; For those who didn\u2019t know him before this season in his life, he was single for 15yrs and was always the most cynical person when it came to his personal life. So when I told him about God\u2019s plan for him, he didn\u2019t want to believe or accept it. Months after, he met the woman he ended up marrying, which was already a miracle on its own. Fast forward to today.. I guess this is the crazy part. &#x1f61d; Never would have imagined that my Dad and I would be raising our babies at the same time! But God\u2019s just awesome like that. Way-maker, miracle worker, promise keeper. &#x2b50;&#xfe0f;<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A post shared by <a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/coleen\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Coleen Garcia Crawford<\/a> (@coleen) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2020-10-29T00:48:50+00:00\">Oct 28, 2020 at 5:48pm PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I felt Him say that things were gonna get crazy\u2014in a good way, ofc.
