I tell you if anyone needed to torture me for information, sleep deprivation would be the way to go! The last couple of weeks I have averaged 4-5 hours per night and so I have been even more lethargic than usual. The last 7 days have also been filled with nerves and a restless, edginess coupled with a couple of overtired, emotional meltdowns. Needless to say, I am relieved the day has finally arrived.
Yesterday a chance encounter reminded me that God is always with us through every situation. We have a cleaner come once a month. Our regular cleaner was unavailable and so we were randomly allocated someone else - this cute lady called Anne with a waft of blonde hair aged about 60ish. Just as she was about to leave, she said to me "I can see you're also trusting God". I was a little taken aback as I hadn't said anything but she had just noticed some of my Christian books on the bookshelves. Then began the most wonderful conversation. She herself is nursing her husband who almost died from malaria and just had so many encouraging words to say about staying positive and faithful through illness. It was just what I needed at that time.
So thanks to everyone's love, support and prayers. I'm off to the hospital in a couple of hours so let's see how Take 2 works!

I love those random bits of encouragement! Glad the surgery went well and hope you're recovering well at home. I'm going to be much busier next week, so will deliver more food on Saturday! xo
ReplyDeleteI would call Anne one of God's guardian angels. That's the wonderful thing about trusting God, he knows just when we need an extra lift. I am finding this more and more. Ask me about Tuesday night and what happened sometime! Wow. Love you Ames and trusting healing is happening in a BIG way. Much love, Gaynor xo xo
