“I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.”
Psalms 34:4-7 NIV
I went to Winston-Salem for my yearly checkup with Dr Jan Moreb, my oncologist since 2011. He used to be in Gainesville at Shand’s Medical center, but moved to Winston-Salem approximately 4 years ago. He is well known throughout the United States for his expertise in Multiple-Myeloma, the kind of cancer I have. Mine is of the bone- not of the blood. As I was waiting to have blood work done before seeing Dr Moreb, a lady of color kept looking at me. She finally said I love your curly hair; she continued her conversation by saying, “my hair used to be that curly. She was bald now because of the chemo therapy. She rubbed her head and said “I think it will come back curly”, I agreed with her. She smiled. As I sat, I looked around the room. People in wheel chairs, oxygen tanks, crippled from a disease that seems to take your life away by sickness and treatments. I have cancer, which is in remission I am very grateful for, but sadness sneaks into my spirit when I see others wiped out with this disease. Silently I prayed for the ones with me in the waiting room. I pray that fear will be replaced with hope and that Jesus will cover them with His great love, and a miracle of healing will take place in their lives. Our lives are in His hands, and I do not understand the “whys” in this life. I only know I am not the healer, but only a conduit of prayer. So I sat, and prayed for angels of the Lord to encamp around them, and His love to fill their saddened and weakened bodies.
