Urgent Call To Prayer

Yesterday was a day with little rest from news.  It was a good day I was super careful about needing sleep and getting it.  I feel like I am watching life from the sidelines, I have said no to jobs at work and I have hardly been out of the house.

Yesterday, the pathology results came in--I was a little astonished as to what I was hearing.  "Diffuse B cell Lymphoma.  Ya, I knew that already.  I actually thought that it was going to be negative.  I honestly thought I was going to get this call, "I am sorry Kimberly, we can't explain this--your results are negative....you don't have cancer."

That's not what happened.  In the moments that followed I thought of the guy in the bible, who's friends and possibly family members lowered him through the roof to get healing.  I am not sure why I thought of this, but it's all I could think about. I just couldn't shake that image.

Minutes pass and my phone rang again, the Surgeon's Assistant was saying that the Doctor had put through an urgent referral to the BC Cancer Agency and for a CT.  She wanted me to be sure that I knew what the next step was.

I was still thinking of laying on a cot, being lowered into a room from the roof....

We went through the remaining of the day, into the evening, I got a call from a woman--she was just about to leave her post, she got my referral and wanted to book my appointment before she left for the day.  I told her, name the date and time I will be there.

.....she checks her schedule.....

How about tomorrow at 3?

So, off to Victoria General Hospital I will go today for my CT appointment--we are off and running.  I don't know why I have to walk this out, but obviously God wants me to walk through all of this out in obedience, in trust, faithfully knowing that He has gone this way ahead of me.

So, back to the cot through the roof.  (Matthew 2:1-8)  I have been actively thinking about how many times in Scripture, when God heals it is because a family member or a friend asks for the healing, not because of the request from the afflicted.

It makes me very thankful for family, church family, friends and friends of friends who are willing to bring me before the throne of God.  I believe I will be healed, I believe there will be days that are highlights as well as I-can't-get-out-of-bed-days, but on each and every one of those days, I will have a Saviour walking out ahead of me, a faithful husband walking with me and a host of family and friends laying me before the throne of Grace.

What more could a girl want?  I simply can't think of anything else I'd want.
