I met a princess at the pool this evening. No, she wasn’t Kate Middleton, although I have a great amount of admiration for Kate.
She was more than that.She was a princess of the most high God.
I was done with my laps at the pool and I paused to look around. It was a cool evening in Texas and the pool was almost devoid of swimmers. There was one lady which I started to talking with, you know, just small talk. We started talking about the neighborhood where we lived, then we started talking about her moving to Texas from Hawaii.
I got excited when she mentioned Hawaii. I have a couple of merchants that I advertise for that are Hawaiian. She said she had gotten some awesome peanut butter from Northshore which had Macademian nuts and coconut. I seriously wanted to drool when she mentioned that product.
We continued to talk about different things and I told her about my blog and that if I could I would launch an ad page for Hawaiian companies so that she could buy things from Hawaii. She really missed Hawaii. I miss it too and I haven’t even been there. (Hoping to go some day)
I mentioned that my blog was Christian and she asked what church I went to. I told her Gateway. She said she went there too.
Then I got really excited. I mean I knew God was involved in this and you know me, whenever God is involved it just becomes total, all out fun.
She said she was feeling led to be involved in the healing ministry. I feel led to just start attending on a more regular basis.
Soon we got out of the pool and she was showing me a wrap that she had. When she put the wrap around her I noticed how petite she was.
She said she was on chemotherapy. She had had breast cancer and it has metastasized. The cancer has spread to her liver, her lungs and her spinal column.
We continued to share our stories with each other. I told her I would share her story with my audience for my blog but I told her I would do more than that.
I told her how I had asked my blog audience to pray for my brother when he fractured his 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae. My brother is doing well right now. He is walking and he is farming again. That is a total miracle because the EMT’s said he would never walk again when they first flew him out to the hospital.
So I know you guys are prayer warriors. So I want to ask a favor of you.
I want to ask you to go to war against the cancer that has spread in my new friend, Miriam’s body. I want you to pray without ceasing, constant and ferocious, until you get that sweet peace that one can only get when you know that God has heard your prayers.
Please pray for Miriam, she is more than just a friend of mine. She is a princess because she is a cherished daughter of the most high King and if you are a Christian you are her sister or her brother.
Pray as if she is your favorite sister, cause I know she is one of mine.
