My heart is heavy, tears been streaming down my face since this afternoon. Still cant believe that one my dearest and lovely friend Phyllis is gone. I will never see her again... never will I hear her voice again saying: estrella, can you come over please... I will never have the chance to say a prayer over her ever again. I will never have the chance to visit her along with angel, my rat terrier and just chat and talk about family, weather and such... But I know someday, I will meet her again in heaven and I will see her beautiful smile once again. I met Phyllis just last summer accidentally (i thought it was...now I know God truly made a way). She kept calling my phone number and I kept saying to her im sorry maam, but you called a wrong number) she was looking for a caregiver and someone gave her my name :) I found out she lived just a few blocks away from our house. I told her someday Im going to visit her. And one day last summer, I went and visited her. Before I left her home I asked if I can pray over her and she did not object. Pretty soon, it became necessary for me to pray with her. She shared with me then that after her 18 yr old daughter committed suicide ( Phyllis was in her 50s) she was angry with God. She quit going to church and disconnected herself from the Lord. She was grateful to be able to talk about God again. I cried with her and we prayed together and asked God to forgive her and to bring her back closer to Him again. She always looked forward to see me and I looked forward to prayed with her for healing ... Phyllis has been having so many ailments in her life. Her left foot was going to be amputated last December. She have heart problems, back and neck pain. She used little Hoveround chair to get around her home. Im so glad that God has made a way for me to have a friend like Phyllis. He made a way for me to visit with her twice this week for the last time. Once just this Monday, she needed someone to just massage her neck. I prayed ( i always do :) before I did the massage. And during the massage I started singing: You are my sunshine, my little sunshine... I dont know why I did it. But Phyllis smiled and started singing along with me as well. The second time was just yesterday morning after 8am. Shes asking a favor if I could come over and take her temperature. I wasnt going to because I was really tired, didnt get to sleep til after 2am that morning. But something inside me just told me to go and do it. Must have been the Holy Spirit. Im so glad I did. I went there, but her temperature registered 98. She said she have a doctors appointment that afternoon. And she was upset that her chiropractor appt. got canceled. I noticed that both of her legs were swollen and had some red bumps... it looked like theyre shingles to me. She laughed when I told her... she said: thats funny, because my husband David told me the same thing. But, she said she was going to let her doc looked at it. Before I left I told her that Jesus will never give us a burden that we cannot bear. He knows everything about us! When I woke up early this morning... the Holy Spirit placed her name to pray over her. I started praying and was crying to Jesus. I said, Lord, I dont understand why my friend Phyllis have so many afflictions in her life. Shes in so much pain every single day. Lord, will you please, release her from all of these pain... I literally said these words. I dont know why I prayed the way I did this morning and was crying really hard over it. Now, I understand. The Good Lord is getting ready to release her from all of her pain. Jesus, said :enough! She had bear her burden here on earth...now she is free from it. She will see her daughter again and I can just imagine how happy they are together and for that matter forever happily ever after. Why I am taking this time to write and share it? Not to get any credit from any of these, but to praise Jesus! Its because I am so amaze how much God love each one of us. When we messed up, strayed away from Him, and dont believe Him anymore He made sure to send someone to bring us back to Him again. HE is a God of second chances, or third or forth... HE is always there, just waiting patiently for us to come back to Him again. He doesnt want us to go to hell, He wants to save us from it! HE had already died for all of our sins, He doesnt want anyone to perish... He loves us way too much for that to happen. If God bring someone in your path... its for a reason... a special and divine assignment. Please, nurture that relationship ... bring that person closer to Jesus!
