I ran into a familiar face last night while dropping off a patient at Banner Estrella. I saw her from behind and even though it's been quite a while, I knew it had to be her. I came around the Nurses station and said hello. It was great to see her. Even though we go to the same church, her daughter was in my cabin at summer camp and I used to work with her husband, it's been forever since I've seen her. She was always very sweet and kind to me. Every time we ran into each other she would smile and sometimes hug me, just like last night.
I was very excited to see her. After the hello's and quick catching up women do in the first 45 seconds, I was overcome with thoughts that I couldn't shake...
"What does she think of me now?"
"What has she been told?"
"Should I have marched my butt to the ambulance and never said anything?"
November 27, 2008 was when my life was turned upside down. It all happened in just one phone call. I was faced with an impossible future. One that I had done a good job of avoiding... until now. I had no idea what would come of me but I was certain that I wouldn't go down without a fight.
I had no idea it would almost take me out for good.As we continued our conversation I learned that she's had a rough few months. I don't know the details, but I do know this... God won't place you anywhere that He won't pull you through.
It was during this trial of life that I drew unbelievably close to my Heavenly Father. Lately I've been overwhelmed with the feeling of documenting all that he's done in my life. Keeping His amazing lesson tucked away in my heart won't help anyone face their Goliath. I believe now is the time to talk about it.
