Heavy Heart

Today my heart is heavy. As most of you know I work in the construction field as a secretary. This isn't my dream job, but I have definitely met some interesting characters and had some experiences that I otherwise would not have had. Having said this, there is one worker in particular that for some reason has always had a soft spot in my heart. He is a little rough around the edges and most people don't care for him, but for some reason I like him. He is always friendly to me and I always feel like he looks out for me.

For a few weeks now, we have been talking about sharing our faith and discipling at Shoal Creek. Each time this subject has come up this man has popped in my head. I have prayed for opportunities to share with him and have even prayed for the right words to say, but each time I could have said something I felt like it wasn't the right time. Last week, he wasn't at work. This is highly unusual because this guy is at work, even when he isn't supposed to be. I was told he was in the hospital and they were doing some tests. The tests came back this weekend and he has lung cancer. In our field you don't work when you have cancer and I don't know when I will see this man again. I am confident that he is not a believer, but the one ray of hope I have is that this man's son also works with me. I am praying that I will get another chance to share with him and possibly even minister to him and his family during this time.

Please pray with me that Dennis will not only come to know Jesus, but that he might be healed. Also please keep me in your prayers as I seek to share and minister in this situation. Pray that God will give me wisdom and boldness in what I feel called to do.
