Hey Interwebs!! I hope you've had a good week. I did.
At my church, I sing in the praise band with mostly the mothers of my peers. And our Worship Leader, Dennis. Oh, and my doctor. But anyway, one of the mothers, Ms. B, she's been sick for a while now. First she had breast cancer, then as soon as she found out she was cancer-free, she had some other health-related problem, and now she's on this medicine that makes her feel sick a lot. Well, even despite her illness, she always finds ways to encourage me. This morning, I made a mistake with our music, and yet after we finished singing, she whispered to me, "Great job Becca." It was little, really no big deal, but that she, in all her suffering and difficulty and pain, would look beyond all that to see an insecure teenager humiliated by an insignificant mistake and want to alleviate my discomfort?? It's such a gratifying experience, and I'm so thankful. So very thankful. It's Christ-like love like that that I strive for, and yet fall short of, every day.
I hope everyone has a good week!!
Love, Becca
