And just when you think it's not, it really is!

I haven't wrote a blog in a very, very long time! But here goes another one :) Here's a quick update..I switched churches about two months ago. I have went to the same church since my mom brought me home from the hosptial, grew up with the kids in the church, that church is where I was most comfortable at. But see that's the problem..I was comfortable-in my comfort zone! So God moved me to another church where "I have grew in Him more than I ever have before. I am even working on my calling in life there, next Sunday I will have my very first youth worship band practice, which I am very excited about. So since the new church that I go to doesn't have Sunday night service, I go to my old church with my mom, sister, and cousins. Tonight I went there not expecting much to happen..just expecting the same ole-same ole and I got the exact opposite. Worship started and the presence of God was in the house so strong that you could physically feel it! Well..worship went on..and on..and on :) Then  Pastor Shawn picked up the micro phone and started talking. He told us to go find an older person to pray with and the older people find a young person to pray with. I had already made up in my mind I wasn't going to do it! I was just going to stand there and wait for the moment to be over with and to go back to worship. But then I looked back and scanned the back of the church and this lady caught my eye! God told me to pray with her..for a second I hesitated because I thought that this lady is beautiful, she looks like she has a perfect life..she doesn't need prayer I didn't even know her name!! But before I could talk myself out of it, I had already started walking over there! She was smiling and I didn't say a word to her, I just wrapped my arms around her really tight and she began to cry! And we began to sing together the song that was playing. She cried..and cried. When the song was through, she hugged me and smiled at me and I went back to my seat. I thought to myself, 'Goodness, I am so glad that I did that! That's exactly what God wanted me to do and it seems that lady needed a hug!' Without knowing anything about her, thinking that she didn't need prayer, I found out way differently after church. My mom passed by her and told her she would be praying for her for her Oncology appointment tomorrow! My mom told me that she had Breast Cancer. My heart broke because my grandmother that I called "MeMe" had died of breast cancer when I was 2 years old. My heart is for breast cancer. Everytime I see that little pink flag, it stirs my emotions. God had called me to go and pray for that lady and I didn't even know what for. But what I do know is that GOD called me to go pray for her!
