Last night on Facebook, my dear friend Beena David asked what your one wish would be for tomorrow. I simply answered to walk in the sunlight. In my head I knew this had a slim chance of happening. See I've really been struggling with my sleep. I have been going to bed around 11:30PM and not waking up until 5PM, usually only because my husband is determined I'll eat something for dinner.
I went to bed last night thinking about how I answered Beena's question (by the way, my dear friend said she would give up her wish to see mine come true) and what the possibilities of it happening would truly be. I prayed that God would take my hand, even for just a moment, and take me outside in the morning.
To my complete surprise I woke up at 8:20AM. I had to lay there in bed to determine if I was dreaming or if I was really awake. By about 8:45AM, I was putting my shoes on to go outside (many of you know that I walk with a quad cane and get very nervous about walking outside alone). As I stepped outside on the patio this peace just overwhelmed me. My mind was clear. God took my hand and led me about 10 feet to the garden. He wanted me to experience His creation. He showed me some beautiful flowers that had taken bloom. He wanted me to feel His presence and nothing else. Folks, there was no pain of any kind in my body. I truly believe Jesus was using this moment to remind me that He is only a prayer away.
As I write this, I am experiencing some pain, but I know God gave me that moment of relief to be free in His Healing hands.
It wasn't a sunlit day, and I didn't take a long walk, but God was with me and He didn't leave me in the dark. I thank Jesus for this precious time with Him, especially as He reminded me that I am a living testimony that He is using for His glory. I also thank Beena for asking her question. Without her I don't know that I would have had this experience. I probably would have just gone through a regular day of laying in the dark. Instead, I experienced the SON light!
