My Friend...

I watch her. This woman whom God has molded into a "shining light of His glory". I see her pacing back and forth! I watch her giddy with excitement. She has waited for so long for this moment...in only seconds her man will walk off that plane and back into her arms. She keeps looking at me, through the lenses, grinning from ear to ear! She is nervous...but the love that she holds inside comes bursting through that anxious heart of hers as their eyes lock! HE IS HOME! They embrace. Hands quickly interlock...holding tightly as if to never let go! The butterflies inside her stomach steal her breath. Yet, I watch peace settle and fear vanish! In this moment, all is right within her world.

Tomorrow will dawn early and fear will rear it's ugly head once more. Another biopsy. Another challenge. More questions. More waiting. But this time is different. This time they are a united force! They can, together, squash that fear with faith and trust in a God Whose timing is perfect, Whose Love is greater, and Whose Sovereignty gives anchor to life that they walk. The steady, unwavering joy that is bubbling up and over is nothing short of a miracle, a life surrendered completely to a Lord Whom she has entrusted everything too. She is confident...she is ready to face the day! Ready to laugh at fear and live her life to the fullest!

God's glory is radiating from this life. His goodness is seeping through every pore of her being! And I am encouraged. I love you April and count it an honor to stand with you in prayer and watch God work His wonders through your life.
