Coincidence or God??

I have to admit...this really freaked me out and I still have goose bumps. Okay, Saturday, I received an email from my SIL with the following slide show:

I was really touched by it and asked Nolan and Taylor to watch it as well. Because I'm a great believer in things being "meant to be" and also the mysterious ways in which God works in our lives. Well, I have been in the process of finding and changing doctors (our family practice doctor). It has been a long and difficult decision because I do love our doctor...but over the years his practice has grown imensely and he has joined two large practices/clinics. I have dealt with it for many years because I like Dr. K...I could even put up with the large practice/multiple doctors thing except for Dr. K's nurses and the method in which they operate or not. Without going into specifics, it's just gotten to a point that I no longer trust the staff. I have lost all confidence in them and felt it was just time to move on.

So, after meeting with the new doctor (Dr. T) several weeks ago...we decided to give him a try. I've spent the last few weeks working on filling out 5 new patient packets. I finally returned them to Dr. T's office last week. Well, Wednesday morning I received a call from Dr. T's office. On the records release form, I just listed the name of the clinic and she needed to know which doctor...so I told her it was Dr. K. So Wed. night, I had the strangest dream that Dr. K called me and was very upset that we were leaving the practice (as he's been our family physician for 10+ yrs)...he also told me in the dream that his wife had left him. I remember in the dream just feeling terrible about it. I began searching for his phone number (Dr. K actually gave me his personal cell phone number a few years ago in case I needed to reach him...I have never called him, but I still have the sticky note that it was written on)...this is the same note I was looking for in the dream. Anyway, yesterday morning, I had told Nolan about the dream before he left for work. I figured I had dreamed about Dr. K because of Dr. T's office inquiring about him.

Thursday morning, I had just got done working out and was checking my email when my cell phone started ringing. I didn't recognize the number, but it was a local number. When I answered it, it was Dr. K...OMG, I think my jaw musta hit the floor. I never in a million years expected him to call...and having just had a dream that he called really freaked me out. He was super nice and said he just wanted to make sure that he hadn't done anything, etc...to make us leave. I assured him that our leaving had nothing to do with him personally or professionally, but rather it was based on the office situation (I didn't really elaborate)...anyway, I felt as though I was babbling (which I'm sure I was as I was so caught off guard). Anyway, he said that Dr. T is great and if there was ever anything we need to let him know. Of course after we hung up...I was a blubbering idiot. I called Nolan crying because I felt so bad. At the moment, I'm working on a letter to Dr. K. I want to thank him for many, many years of service and to again reassure him that it has nothing to do with him. Since he inquired, I may also explain some of the things with the office that are concerning to me.

Gosh, I feel like I'm divorcing my doctor...it's hard because I don't want to have to "start over" with someone new...but on the other hand, I've lost all my faith and confidence in Dr. K's office. I really feel stuck between a rock and a hard place...but ultimately, I have to do what I feel's best for myself and my family.
