"I need to talk to you about something." She mouthed the words and thankfully I understood. "Silly or serious?" I asked. "Serious, sad for me", she mouthed. I entered serious mode. "Look at my eyebrows." I looked and noticed they were very faint, almost completely gone. "Top of my head." she mouthed. When I came into her apartment that day I had noticed that her hair had been cut and styled, and that it was very thin on top. She went on to explain that she had been told that she is losing her hair. This is a result of the change in her chemo regimen. So I sat with her, held her hand, rubbed her shoulder and let her tell me of her frustration, her fears, her embarrassment over her hair loss. I prayed I would understand all of the words and the emotions behind them. I prayed the Holy Spirit would give me discernment so that I could truly comfort and encourage her. He was and still is and always will be faithful. As I left her apartment and walked to my car that evening, I prayed for Judy. I prayed for physical healing as I have just about every day for the past 30+ years. I know that Jesus is a healer and that Judy could be healed completely, in an instant. I thanked God for giving me the strength to keep returning to her apartment. I thanked Him for teaching me that I don't need to give Judy explanations and answers to all of her questions. I thanked Him that the God of all comfort chooses to use me. I thanked Him for peace in the midst of a terrible storm that has raged for decades. I thanked Him that He will heal Judy, physically, completely, if not while she is on earth, then certainly when she enters Heaven. I thanked him that I will see her dance and run and that she will see again. I thanked Him that she will have beautiful thick hair. Yes, I am blessed. |
