Repurposing

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.  Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.                    - Isaiah 43:18-19  Whew!  It's been a journey!  While I am glad to be this far into it, I am saddened that not everything that the Lord has done was documented.  HOWEVER, I will share as He brings it to my remembrance.    I will be using this to post my studies that I share twice a month in church and also to share my personal studies as they arise and the Lord leads me to share them.   The grief and healing journey I have been on since my son passed from suicide is more of an in-person ministry right now as it is a raw and sensitive situation.  I am very protective over my son and his sisters and have an obligation to protect their privacy.

A Sacred Pause in a Broken Place

God laid something beautiful on my heart today. 

     He brought to remembrance of when Levi was in the ICU, there was this man....a man of African descent... who must've worked as a housekeeping aide. 

    EVERY time he walked in....I was deep in prayer over my baby. He always slowed down in his duties and seemed to linger to hear me pray. I remember making eye contact with him one day. His countenance was soft and he had such a warmth about his smile.  

    He said, "I'm glad to see you and your family praying over your son. Not a lot of families do that kind of praying here. God bless you for that. America needs more mothers like you." 

     I could be mistaken.... but I truly feel that he was sent to me specifically from God. Angel? Maybe? I will never know. 

    But I know this, God sees us in our deepest valleys. He doesn’t just watch from afar; He steps into the room. Sometimes, He sends people...ordinary in appearance, yet extraordinary in impact...to remind us that Heaven is near, even in hospital rooms. 

Whether it was an angel or simply a man obeying the draw of God, his words carried life and comfort to my weary soul. 

 God knows when our hearts are trembling and our faith is stretched. In those moments, He often sends messengers (seen or unseen) to breathe encouragement into us. 

 Hebrews 13:2 says, “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”  I believe that could have been one of those moments. 

 That encounter left a mark on my spirit. It was a divine whisper through a stranger’s voice, saying, 

“Keep going. I’m here. I’m with you. And I’m listening to every word you pray.” 

 So if you’re in a storm right now......look for the ones God sends. They may wear scrubs, a badge, or a smile.....but their presence will echo His peace.
