because... so, today my mother, father and brother had a meeting with the "cancer team"... oncologist, her surgeon, the enterologist and no idea who else....
I had asked for prayer for my mother and for wisdom and restraint on her part .... apparently this meeting went really well... the suggested chemo would take six months, 2 weeks on, one week off... it is one of the mildest drugs, in pill form, taken at home... side effects hopefully not too bad...
start date not until May 5, she is not strong enough yet...
not sure if my mother will go ahead and decide to do it... it is her decision.....
this was good news... but then, when talking to my mom today she told me something else....
there has been a pastor, apparently she had seen him sitting by her bed before... she said when she was still not quite there....
so this man... talked to her today... he is a pastor of an Evangelical Fellowship Free Church.... good... he told her they renovated an ancient, beautiful little Barock church a few little villages over... ( my mother thinks that we must really love God to go to church in such a "plain" church ;) ..... he also told her that his wife is a doctor who is now studying classical homeopathy.... is God a God of detail or what???????
if I had chosen the combination necessary for my mother to be interested in a man of God and a church I could not have chosen any better....
I think after the discouragement of the last few days God has given me once again a little message today,
something like: "Miriam, do not worry... see what I have been arranging for your mother???? It is not for you to save her... I am going to do that... you planted the seed faithfully, this pastor can water it now, and I am going to save her....."
Hallelujah.... Praise be to God.... He didn't have to show me this... but He did.... that's who He is... isn't He just so amazing?
