A Conversation With My Forever Friend


July 27, 2019

A message from my Friend:

Hello, my sweet friend! How are you? I am thinking about you a lot this week. I went in for a routine scan of my heart. It made me think of you - of all the tests, waiting, treatments… and your strong and beautiful spirit in all of it. You are an inspiration to me during this time! I love you! And I will keep you posted on the results.

Me:

Awww please do. I’ll consistently be praying over you. I’m pleading that God lets you see the joy in every moment of your experience. It can be beautiful. I love you.

My Friend:

I love you too. That is my prayer. Yes, I want this to all go away but if it is something I must endure, I pray I will see light and joy in the process. I have peace. A few weeks before the test results, I woke up in the middle of the night unable to catch my breath after a nightmare. I heard a voice say, “You are about to go through something difficult, but it will not lead to death.” I thought it was part of my dream or something but as I prayed for the Spirit to calm my heart, He reminded me of this. I am convinced He was preparing me for it. Perhaps waiting for the test results is the difficult thing, but even if it’s more, I have complete faith that it will lead to life, not death.

Me:

For me, it led to a completely new and beautiful life. Every experience through this process, maybe a small temporary journey, but it's a lesson. Embrace it. It’s a new reality for you. You won’t find what you’re not looking for. BE LOOKING as if you know something is there for you. IT IS!  And it’s all due to love! You’re HIS precious treasure, even if it pains you. Evaluate and process. You’re about to learn so much about yourself!

My Friend:

I am going to screenshot that response and come back to it often. I love you!
