Who's Report will you choose to Believe?

I met the most beautiful woman today. She was with her mother who is a patient of mine. She has been with her mother 24-7 since she went into the hospital in January. Speaking with her, my faith was fulled. This woman expressed extreme faith in her mother's total healing. Statements such as "But God..." when the prognosis is poor from the medical team and "God is speaking to her" when she recounts times when she is communicating with her mother brought tears to MY eyes. I thought to myself, Who am I to tell this woman what the doctor's and charts say? She knows who's report she wants to believe. And that is fine by me.

Who knows what the final journey of this woman's mother will look like but God. I'm not so much concerned with the date of the final bow of my patient. I am more concerned with the faith journey of this family. This family believes God in the most radical way that I have not seen (nor practiced) in a loooonnnngggg time. In the most turmultuous of times I have personal experienced in my own life, I have to question my own faith. Who's Report will I believe? What statistics say or what the Bible says? What someone's mouth says or what my heart believes?

Who's Report will you choose to Believe?

Blessings,
Rell
