I had gone into Oklahoma City for surgery and had to stay in a hotel for five days, since they were placing a plaque in my eye, and it had to stay put. OU medical had booked me with Hampton Suites close to the medical facility, but when I got there, I realized it was top dollar for a small single room. At first, I was like….I can get a nicer hotel on Hotwire for less, so I’ll just book that instead. I was already frazzled from having to get ready for an intense surgery, and on top of that, hopscotching hotels. Suddenly, I decided to put it before God, remembering that he took care of stuff like this for me. My dear friend Gladys was accompanying and taking care of me the first two days, and she had a friend in the hotel business. She was simply connecting with him since they were both in OKC. When he heard what was going on, he stated “Hampton Suites…that’s my hotel!”
So out of all the hotels, ALL the hotels in OKC, he happened to work at the one connected to OU Medical, where I had already had a reservation. He changed the reservation to a two room suite (with the staff bringing us snacks every day during the Covid shutdown) for $45/night. This was just a healthy reminder of God’s presence in the middle of what could have been an extremely stressful situation. God is SO good
