So... I work in a cancer center. Last Friday, I knew it was going to be a long day and I was needing to leave work early to go to a conference. But sometimes you do things that don't make sense till days later. I knew on Friday that one of my "favorite" patients were in the hospital and I felt an overwhelming need to go and talk and pray with her. Again, knowing that I really did not have the time, I decided to make the time. So, myself and another co-worker took a walk across the street to see her. I am so glad we did! We had a wonderful time of prayer and got the chance to see that the patients heart had been changed! As of a couple of months ago she would always tell us that she was ready to go, but after 16 years of fighting cancer, who could blame her. My problem was every time she would talk that way, I would ask her how she felt about God healing her, but she never directly answered my question. Friday was so different! She had a deep desire in her eyes that spoke volumes to me that her faith had grown to such an exciting level! I was so excited too! We prayed for a bit and then my co-worker and myself had to get back to work, but we left with such a refreshed feeling of God's destiny not just for our friend but for ourselves and our families. His goodness is overwhelming sometimes!
Ironically, yesterday I put on a necklace that I have, and really like, that has symbols for faith, hope and love. Yesterday my necklace came apart and I lost my faith jewel somewhere. For about an hour I was questioning God on if I had personally lost some level of faith and He was trying to tell me. Then I realized how much of a distraction that necklace had become in such a short time. So my prayer went something like this, " God, if I have lost something when it comes to my faith speak it loud and clear to me, otherwise I am moving on with my morning, my life, and my relationship with You."
I never heard anything back.
Great post sis! God is good and longs to always use us. Thank you for serving and being a leader! Love ya!

ReplyDeletePraying He makes all things abundantly clear, friend...He will. :) Ever find your faith jewel?
I never did find my faith jewel. :-( But a coworker said I can call Veronica and pay $5 to get a new necklace. That will do I guess...
