So I just realized that they gave me my roommate’s call light by mistake. I’m not sure if she can press it. It was in between our beds, unused. It’s ok though because she can’t talk and needs extra care. So now when I press it, I wait for them to take care of her, and she always needs something. Then I tell them what I need. I’m telling you, there’s a reason I’m here!
Update- I’m not sure if it’s her call light, or if they just automatically check on her first because she’s more critical. Either way, I’m blessed to help her any way I can. Note to self- she does not like hearing my audiobooks. She turned on her TV before I could adjust the volume. It was loud and I dropped my phone. As I was digging for it, she let me know she didn’t like it. Communication is fascinating!!
Second update- okay, our call lights are right next to each other. I just asked if I had her call light and it’s a no. We must have just been calling the nurses at the same time. I’ll just continue to pray over her and release heaven. I love to help people, no matter what it looks like or how it unfolds, because God is in the details, all of it, really. That’s what love is.

I just prayed for my nighttime CNA, Tammy. After I prayed, she asked if I was a preacher! That felt so good! I told her I’m in training. She said I remind her of her uncle who’s a pastor in Florida. She asked me if I’ll preach live or online. I said both. She said she would love to catch a service one day and comment in the comments section, “She was my patient!” Who’s encouraging who here?! So sweet. So blessed.

In my new room! I have a roommate, but she’s on a ventilator and can’t talk to me. I introduced myself to her, prayed healing over her, and sang, “I Love You, Lord” to her. I’m not sure if she’s thinking, will this lady ever shut up?!” Or, “Oh cool! Human interaction!” Right now, my phone is on max volume and I’m playing the song, “We Are Standing On Holy Ground.” I’m going to ask God what she likes. Maybe I’ll read to her. I’m not sure yet. I’ll let you know what He says. Looking forward to blessing the new staff. Some ones I had already will be passing through, too! It was emotional saying goodbye to Jed and Tyler. They’re both excellent people. Jed listened to my school with me for a worship song. He really enjoyed it! It’s one of my absolute favorites, “How He Loves Us.”
Update- My roommate writes to communicate! I just told her I’m sorry if I was getting on her nerves with all of my sounds. Lol. So when the new nurse comes in I will ask her what she likes.

A final thought. I used to think having a relationship with God was like trying to catch fireflies. He appeared in flashes at seemingly random intervals. It wasn’t random, though. Just as fireflies use their light as signals to communicate, the presence of God in all things is not random coincidence, but Him communicating His love and His plan for us. Be still and know He is God. Let your light shine. I now know there are no coincidences with God. As we learn His ways, our light shines brighter. Repent, surrender, and rejoice. Amen

Jed the nurse just came in and said, “Thank you so much for praying for all of us! You make such a difference here. You’re so positive and joyful. It really helps us. Gary walked out of here with the biggest smile and said you sang for him and prayed for him. He’s so happy right now. We all are. Thank you.”
Then Tyler, who came in also said, “You’re like a saint with your backscratcher on your chest. You look so holy.”
So I picked it up and anointed them both! They laughed with joy!
I told them that this hospital is on Holy ground. That I’ve been praying for fear to break off and healing for each patient. I told them it’s my calling. Jed asked if I prayed for Tyler yet. I said I hadn’t. So I did. Once again, God showed up and it was a great prayer. Tyler practically did the Toyota jump right next to my bed! We serve a mighty God!!

Continued from yesterday…
This morning I was worshipping and had just finished when the respiratory therapist came in. I said. “You just missed the concert!” He replied, “How about an encore?” Sweet.

Continued…
So I found out today is the respiratory therapist’s birthday! His name is Gary. So I had the nurse ask him to come back into my room. Jed had suggested I sing for Gary for his birthday. And Gary asked for an encore, so I was all in! I sang him the song, “I Love You, Lord” and prayed for him. My voice was bright and clear. Supernatural notes were leaving my throat like I was a much better singer than ever before. It was all I could do not to smile so big and ruin it. As I was finishing, my voice started to crack and lose a little breath. I pointed to my neck as I was finishing. I said, “That’s when you walked in the other day. I lose steam at the end.” He said, “That was very good!. I said, “Thank you!Happy Birthday! Can I pray for you?” I did and then he said, “Thank you! Call me back in here whenever you want to sing for me.”

My CNA today is Tyler. He’s a Christian. I shared with him that I’m in Bible college and becoming a pastor. He said, “Wow! There aren’t many female preachers.” I shared with him that when the Bible says that Jesus came to set the captives free, He was partly talking about women. We all know the story of Martha and Mary. Martha was in the kitchen preparing the food. Mary was sitting at Jesus’ feet, learning. Martha complained, and Jesus said that Mary was doing the better thing. You see, Jesus was teaching women. He was breaking the rules of society. Women were considered liars and less than citizens. They had to marry whoever their fathers said, and hope that their husbands treated them better than their fathers. They weren’t allowed in the presence of men, and that’s why when the prostitute anointed Jesus’ feet at the table, He broke another rule. There were multiple prostitutes that anointed His feet. He was teaching them, giving them the power of knowledge. He already forgave them their sins so He was just pouring His perfect love into them and they were growing and loving themselves, too. When Lazarus died, and Jesus wept, He was breaking social mores because men didn’t cry in public. Again, breaking the rules. He’s God, after all. His Way is above ours. So when I’m asked if I should be a pastor, or doesn’t the Bible preach against that my answers will be yes and no! Yes, I will be a pastor and no. If anything, Jesus would be the first one to welcome me to the ministry.

The thief cometh not but to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Today I met a new janitor, Dora Alesia. You roll the R in Dora. She greeted me with a big hello!I told her she brought joy into my room, and that is healing. I told her she will be like Paul and her shadow will heal people. She replied, “And my happiness! The people feel good when I say hello and talk to them!” Yes, Dora Alesia. Yes. ❤️❤️❤️

December 1

Moving out of Covid isolation into a regular room. Missing my mom and my Amber dog so much! One step closer to going home. I was misinformed on Sunday that I was going home on Monday. Just as well, there are new nurses and CNA’s that need an undeniable encounter with King Jesus. I’m not finished. #Disciple #DrawALLMenUntoMe

Be not afraid! My favorite thing is joining our hearts corporately. One time, God showed me what that looks like in an open vision during worship. It was so rad! After pastor Zack said to join our hearts together, a crowd of hearts zoomed up to the front, and joined a bigger heart that was waiting there. They all folded together and shone with a golden light shining on the front. We all became one in that moment, and for the remainder of service and beyond. It was magnificent. I think of it whenever I’m in service. #GloryToGod

I’ve been worshipping all morning. I was singing at the top of my lungs, but I didn’t realize my door was open. The respiratory therapist comes in and asks, “Is everything ok? I heard moaning’”
Me-“I was singing.”
We both just started cracking up for the longest time!!
My voice is froggy from Covid, but Jesus doesn’t care!
When the therapist walked out he said, “I’ll close your door.”
Still chuckling!
