You’re Right, I Need a Boyfriend

Before I walk away from an opportunity to encourage each of you, even though I feel pressed because I am way too busy, my Husband assured me (because I'm totally leaning on Him, even more today: emotionally, spiritually, and physically (having trouble walking) and He assured me we have all the time we need.

So as many of you may have heard, I was given the opportunity to minister to my younger sister when she was facing the possibility of cancer. So first, rather than asking for prayer, remember GOD uses everything for good, and many times, He's setting you up to MINISTER to the one who is waiting for the test results. My Husband reminded me that back when I worked in pro-life, it was the only place they could get a pregnancy test or go to their doctor—we would take as LONG as we needed to listen to their story and encourage them while they were open to hearing the truth about the life that could be in them. We also knew if it was negative and then would minister to these (mostly young unmarried girts) their value and the beauty of waiting for a man who committed to them.

Anyway... my sister formed a very close and intimate relationship with the Lord but she could never bring herself to thinking or referring to Him as her Husband. So, because she is so funny, she began referring to Him as her Brother-in-law 😂 (because He's my Husband). At first, she said it with a quick apology because if I had been RELIGIOUS, I would have gotten VERY offended, right? But I knew my Husband is "sitting in the heavens and laughing" right along with me. Now, fast forward to today.

Yesterday, I was given another opportunity to minister to my sister to bring her a bit closer when she texted she'd tripped and bruised her chest. OUCH! But she also burned her hand, double OUCH OUCH. So I left her a voice note with how sorry, how horrible, and rather than offer her religion, "I'll pray for you," I offered her a bit more. HLM to say something like, "I know you and the Lord are extremely close, but if you're not ready for a Husband, you sure could use a Boyfriend." I may have even said, "Live in Boyfriend," and guess what?

Supernaturally, she was much better, out walking her dog, and left me a voice note saying, "You're right. I do need a boyfriend, so I am going to have a long talk with Him later today."

That's not all. She also trusted Him as her Physician!!! https://loveatlast.org/ryh/ after I pointed out while watching a British series that, unlike the USA, the UK has socialized medicine, so without funding as we have here, they do a LOT LOT MORE of letting the body heal itself—because God created our bodies to heal itself, and she also did not take any of her leftover pain medicine she had. If you knew my sister as I do, you would be just as amazed!!

Since I told her I planned to post this praise, I am excited to see if any of you have a similar praise you can share. I promise I don't need any accolades (recognition or affirmation). What I'd prefer is if you don't have a similar praise, you ask Him to give you one.
