I am a victim of familiarity. My heart has fallen into sleep but healing is the voice that awakens me. Sitting on my bed that is just a frame, I stare at the wall. Wondering about the meaning of it all. Why has this thing called life got me
going crazy? So I open up His Word and let it speak to me. The purpose and the plan that He has designed are clear to see.So He takes an ordinary day and challenges me to hunger for something new.
My leg muscles tighten as I take step after step down the hill trying not to make a disaster of the journey I’m on. I gather some flowers on my way down, remembering seeing a sweet lady sitting in front of her house, feeling like she might need some love today. I hand them to her as I pass by and tears began to stream down her face. As words come out of her mouth, they begin to break my heart. Not because of the words she is saying but because I do not understand what they mean. I know nothing else to do but pray for this woman and give her some of my time. Even though I can’t express words to her I pray that sitting next to 
her would allow her to feel Jesus in her life that day.
After my time with this lady who is suffering from diabetes, I find out her daughter, her caretaker, has a tumor that makes her look nine months pregnant. She is slowly dying. And when this daughter passes away, the sweet nine-year-
old grandson will be taking care of the woman. He’ll need give her insulin shots daily.
It breaks my heart to hear this but I know that this sweet lady Annika is deeply loved by the Lord. And now knowing her situation in life, she seemed like a woman desperate for someone to take her pain away. Even though I know I can’t do that, I know I can give Annika my love without words. TIME! And the Lord will take care of the rest.
