It's Friday and a beeaautiful, crisp, cool day--my favorite kind of day. For those of you that don't know, I'm on myspace, and if you're not, you should be too. :) But they have a status update option on there where you can put "Julie _________" whatever you choose. Julie is at home, Julie is awesome, Julie can't find her keys, Julie is the hottest girl around...facts like those.
Anyway, with all that fear over that cyst, I had gotten several words and scripture that comforted me. I was on myspace one day, and I saw a girl online that goes to my church with a status that said "'Molly' is worried about her biopsy." Feeling prompted, I emailed her and shared with her my experiences and some things I had found about healing and peace. This was before I knew that knot was just a cyst. Anyway, she was really sweet and said she'd think of me too. The next day, I told her that it was, indeed, okay and how relieved I was and asked how she was. As it turned out, her biopsy came back as thyroid cancer. She is 28. She said that she was shocked and upset, but she knew that the Lord would take care of her. I, in turn, agree with her.
I didn't just forget and go on though. I lay awake that night thinking of her. It made me thankful for my life. It made me love God's faithfulness towards me and trust His towards 'Molly.' So the next time you're pissed at traffic, you hate the neighbors or that lady that cut you off in the grocery line, the kids are driving you nuts....stop and remember that someone just had their life stopped in its tracks. I'm not saying that it's not okay to have those things get on your nerves because they do. Just remember that someone would love for that to be the most of their concerns.
