It keeps coming. Last night as I had to rush off I went and helped this young woman out. She is fighting some pretty determined demons (figuratively…she’s not seeing them 😉 ) but I will say I was to the point of wanting to yell, “STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR YOURSELF!!”
🙁
Sorry…sometimes I just get angry at the whole ‘battle’ and to see the weakest fall straight forward into the enemy’s grasp. Grrrrrrr……
Now at the end of another day I’ve been asked to pray for a youth minister in Dallas who is suffering a brain aneurysm, I’m meeting again with the young man I met last week, and one of a dear friend of mine mother has just found another spot of cancer in the breast they thought was ‘clean’ so now they have to go through a whole slew of new tests. And finally I had another friend ‘fall off the wagon’ after celebrating 6 months sobriety…and the lapse was fueled by insecurity brought on by the enemies lies. 🙁
CRAZY
I went to visit with the Stanton family this afternoon at the hospital and pray over Joseph. It is never easy to go in and see a young man in such a state. There are no words that I even want to try and express the gamut of emotions that course through you, especially being a mother. There is no new news to give…they are slowly taking him off the meds that put him in the coma and so now it’s waiting to see if there is any involuntary response.
It’s a waiting game. What was so beautiful is witnessing this amazing family’s courage and strength. His dad spoke about what ‘good’ might have come from the various ‘small’ victories already. The mom, as usual, was bright with God’s light shining like a beacon of hope from her every pore…they are such an example of the love in a holy family.
For all the issues brought to my attention today I’ve been thankful to God for giving the consistent message of HOPE and to remain positive in any outcome that arises as God will bring GOOD out of everything. Even if it is not what we want, He has His plan.
Blessings
