A Month in the Life

Since we have been asked to speak at various
meetings, I decided to put together a scrapbook of fun
pictures, news articles, and cards, from the Swap. We even have
notes from television reporters.

I included a spiral notebook left by one
of the producers of the show. While reminiscing
through the scrapbook, I perused the pages of the
spiral notebook they left behind.

I found things detailing our show, like telephone
numbers to purchase the keg, and various other notes
pertaining to our particular show. I kept thumbing
backwards, then noticed, although our name was no longer
mentioned, Tish Meeks (the lady I swapped places with)
continued to be mentioned, along with another lady who
shall remain nameless here. Slowly, I pieced together an
amazing discovery of God's handy-work.

This was not the first time the Meeks had filmed for Wife Swap!

Tish originally was to be with another family, and they
made it to day four of the swap - when the producers
cancelled the show! The man at the other end became
violent and things were brought to a quick halt.

With this revelation, things suddenly became
clear.

One of the first questions Tony asked me when
he met me was "Is my wife safe?" If only he knew how
much we loved Tish before she ever stepped into our
home. She was prayed for repeatedly by ourselves and our
family. My father, a minister of the gospel, went
from room to room anointing every doorpost in our home
the week before Tish came.

We prayed an atmosphere of love and power of
the Holy Ghost would be felt by everyone who entered
our home.

God's Persistent Love

At the end of the swap, Tony and I were sitting in
the limo and talking about my favorite subject - God's
love. With tears in his eyes he said "Kristin, if you
only knew the whole story of how you were sent into my
life you would be amazed. One day I might sit down
with you and tell you."

The Meeks are bound to confidentiality concerning this matter,

but I found the evidence of the miracle in
the scrapbook.

I know that life has a way of shaking a person to
their very core. God forbid, but should I
wander away from the fold of God's protection, I know
of a surity that His love is so strong, he will do
what it takes to get my attention and to draw me back to his side!
