I am at a loss for words to describe church today. My friend Dona, in all her weakness, found strength in The Lord to make it to church this morning. To sing. You may remember me posting last October about my friend Dona (Chris Dumford). She had just found out she had stage 4 Pancreatic cancer. We were all more than devastated. Shock was an understatement. Grief. Sorrow. Intense emotions and confusion had shaken our souls. We prayed and prayed. Through it all, Dona still sang and played the keyboard. Through it all Dona still smiled as she fought her battle with cancer. Taking care of her two grandchildren and her parents wasnt a question. She has always been faithful. Today I witnessed something I never witnessed before. I saw a woman, weak yet strong. A hush fell on the audience as she slipped the heavy microphone up to her mouth. And she sang... I was shaking. Crying. Yet I could feel a heavenly presence strolling through the aisles. Tears fell on every cheek. She was singing... Tears still sting my eyes when I watch this video. When my strength is all gone...I look to You I dont know how people make it trough heartache in this life without Jesus Christ. I am so thankful that I have Him to run to when I am broken. When I am desperate. When I need a miracle. When my strength is all gone. When I am ready to give up- I will remember Dona singing I look to You. People would question why didnt God just heal Dona. But see, His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. His ways higher than our ways. He sees the whole story as we just see the page. Its the faith in Him and hope in eternal life that gets is Christians through the darkest times. Our goodbye to Dona isnt really goodbye. For some glad morning when this life is over, Ill fly away...and we will be together forever. If I didnt have that hope, why, what would be the purpose in living and loving at all? Thank you Dona. For showing me what it means to be faithful. I will never forget it. And I will always love you.
