Amazed....
You know those conversations that totally catch you off guard in a good way. The ones that you walk away thinking, "I never knew that person was so amazing!" Well, I had one of those conversations today at work. I was sitting in my office that doubles as the copy room. I also share it with the woman at work that makes all of the copies-I believe that she is considered learning support. The room is a big rectangle that used to serve as a computer lab. Her desk is at one end and mine is at the other. We speak to each other every day, but it's just those shallow, friendly, safe conversations. As I sat at my desk this morning totally consumed with the work on my laptop I heard her say, "Well Trista, today is my 7 month anniversary of being cancer free." As I looked up at her one thought came to mind-I have been working in the same room as the woman for 3 months, how did I not even know she battled with cancer!? Over the next 30 minutes she shared her amazing triumphant journey with me. She has had so many surgeries that she has lost count. From tumors, to seizures, to lung cancer, to infused organs, to a hysterectomy, to more and more tumors. This woman is one of the most positive and upbeat women that I have met. Her stories of constant pain and struggles broke my heart but as I listened intently I kept thinking, "this woman is amazing!". Her life serves as a great testimony of God's healing power. She truly is a light shining on a hill for God's glory. -God is everything to her and she will tell you that. She gets her strength and positive attitude from Him.
