I took Cory weekly to gymnastics. He enjoyed it and I wanted him to have a good activity. He was 4 when he started. There was a day however that I would find out later was the start of the greatest and most challenging journey of my life.
On this day, the children were sitting in their circle as they always did before class with me sitting upstairs watching from above. I noticed a child coughing with the worst cough I had ever heard. God spoke to me. He literally was screaming at me to get Cory out of there. I have NEVER felt such an urge to leave! It was unbearable. But I argued back. I couldn't just go down there and pull him in front of all these people!! So this bantering went back and forth and I was shaking with fear. I just felt strongly that I was to take him and leave. That was friday. By sunday he was getting the sniffles and by monday he couldn't walk normal. He was limping very strangely to the one side with horrible pain. It was the oddest thing. This was the start of what has turned out to be one of the scariest things I have had to deal with...and believe me, I have had my share!
Next time your inner voice speaks to you, by all means LISTEN and ACT and save yourself the angst.
