ISLAND MIRACLE

GUAM– COURT DAY

Dale awoke early the next morning with her stomach in knots. She had slept well, just not for long. Up at five, she had already showered and donned her neatly creased, blue dress uniform. Now she stood in front of the full-length mirror examining every detail of her perfectly tailored class “A” blues. Satisfied, she finished brushing her newly trimmed hair and drew in a deep breath. Everything was in place; now for the most important part of her morning: her prayer.

“Thank You for the assurance that Your grace is sufficient. I am only Your vessel; please, Father, guide my heart and my mind today. May Your will be done. Please let Steven feel Your love today. He’s just a boy, just a scared innocent boy. And let Your love overcome all evil. Thank You for Your grace and wisdom. Thank You for the assurance that You will never leave nor forsake Your children. In Jesus’ most precious and holy name I pray, Amen.”

Glancing at the clock, she decided she had just enough time to call home. She missed her parents and just needed to hear their voice. She dialed the numbers quickly and waited for the delayed ring.

“Hi Dad, how’s it going?”

“Like a lazy cat on a sunny day after dinner. We’re all just fat and happy around here. How’s my girl?”

“I’m good. Just on the way to court. It’s that case I told you about with the young boy.”

“Oh that’s right. That is today. The time change always throws me off. Sweetheart, just do your best and know that your mom and I will be praying for you. And we are praying for the boy and his family too. The Lord will provide. Your mom would tell you that too, but she just left to get her hair fixed.”

“Oh yes, mom and her hair.” She laughed at the brief relief, and then continued. “Thanks Dad. I love you both.”

“We love you too. Be good.”

“You know I will. Talk to you soon.”

The conversation was quick, but it provided her the encouragement she needed. Her dad never failed her, and she knew her heavenly Father never would either.

She drove quickly to the courthouse and retrieved her briefcase from the front seat of her Guam Bomb. She went into the courtroom and laid all of her materials out on the prosecutor’s table. Her heart raced, but she gathered herself quickly.

“Ready?” Captain Ruby Cox joined her at the counsel table.

Captain Cox was younger than Dale, just learning the ropes. Ruby was good for her experience level, and would handle all the procedural pieces of the trial. She had been helpful when assisting in all of the interviews, but they still had nothing.

“Ruby, we have to be ready. I’m still praying for a miracle.”

“Me too, Dale. Me too. I saw Steven’s aunt in the hall. She’s not doing well. She’s a nervous wreck; looks like she hasn’t slept in a month. I can’t imagine what it has been like for her.
