A Blessing to Me!

In my last entry, I mentioned a lady who prayed for me...that God would provide an opportunity for me to work that would place my creativity in sync with His provision. I thought that was so profound, and it touched my heart!

I feel so blessed to be in Bible study with this lady. We are in the same discussion group, and I have so enjoyed getting to know her. We first met a year ago, at Baylor, in one of the pre-admission rooms. Yes: we were both getting ready for surgery related to our breast cancer. She was relativily new to Abilene, and I honestly don't know if we would have met otherwise. She was there with her husband and their newborn, who is now just over a year old!

But now, here we are! When we met a year ago, she had gorgeous long, black hair (she is Malaysian). Now, she sports a trendy-looking short "do" as her hair is growing back in. Because of our mutual journey's, we have connected at this study, and she is such a treasure...a godly woman who voices her thoughts so elequently. She is so great at explaining why she/we would be willing to go through cancer again, and some of her ideas about that prod me to go deeper.

In fact, that is one of the reasons I think I am so drawn to her...she has gone deeply through her cancer journey and come out on the other side with peace and strength. I love learning from her and hope that I am some encouragement in return. Our study ends in a couple of weeks, and I so hope we can stay in touch. It is one of the difficulties of a large church, but I have been thinking I might need to be intentional abut this. She is just so neat!

Thanks, God, for your gift of people in our lives!
