We are never Alone…
Last night we ended up at the hospital with Chris’ mom. We got in bed at 4:57 AM this morning. We left Bernice in the ICU and came home to get some sleep and will head back there in a bit.
The Dr. (who looked more like a waiter at a TGI Friday’s) was really wonderful and explained her condition in very simple layman’s terms for us – her arota , the large vein coming out of her heart is enlarged and they will need to decide a treatment plan – hopefully not surgery – but that is not his expertise and he couldn’t tell us what the surgeons would decide. I thought it was nice he explained to her that surgeons usually have a ‘God-type’ complex and are not ‘people’ oriented and may not have a great bedside manner, but are very much experts in surgery and they are the best people to correct what is happening to her heart.
I understand what he was saying, but I wanted to tell him that’s not how, or who, God is – that is just the idea that people have decided is who God is!!!
As the night wore on and we waited for tests, waited for a room, waited for news, waited to sleep, waiting…waiting….this morning as I think about the coming days of unknown. I am reminded, and encouraged by this song, which I love! Thanks to Mandisa! We are never alone – He is with us – always – no matter what!
