When I am weak, He is strong
2 Corinthians 4:12b
Irene has been recently praying for a good attitude, strength and courage for the acceptance of whatever is required of her each day. The uncertainty of being told that she was in remission and then to learn soon afterward that the amyloid values have actually increased have been the underlying motivation for her prayers at this time.
Today she was sitting in the dialysis chair feeling somewhat diminished emotionally and was becoming very introspective related to the journey that she’s on. She longs for the day that she doesn’t have to do dialysis three days a week. She longs for the day when the Lord will completely heal her.
After a Starbucks run on the way home and chatting with her new pals (Starbucks employees), she was really blessed by a conversation she had with a friend. This particular person has been a blessing to Irene along the journey by reaching out to her in a variety of ways and acknowledging her constant support which includes DAILY reading of the updates on the website. Today she shared with Irene that because of Irene’s faithfulness she and her family are now attending church believing that it is important for her children to have a spiritual foundation. Irene was very encouraged by these words, knowing that her faithfulness is influencing others and their relationship with God. The words spoken to Irene were a reminder that God is in control.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Proverbs 16:24
Irene emphatically acknowledges that the faithful prayers of many are sustaining her on the journey and for that she has a THANKFUL heart.
When I am weak, He is strong
