Hospital stories, part II

This story is really sacred and holly to me. More than one year passed, but I still stand in awe of it. At that time I was leading a small department in hospital and I learned a whole lot about not leading, but serving others. After two years I felt it is time to move on. But because of the contract conditions I had to stay and work for further 4 months. It was disappointing, because I had to work whole summer till end of September. Just later I realised, that it was, as usual, His divine timing.

At that time my nurse´s mum was fighting a very tough battle with brain tumor. Cancer spread into her whole body and she was in and out her conciousness. My nurse was about 40 years old, orthodox believer, so I told her about healing services in my church. So they came, but for the old sick lady the music was too loud, she had terrible headaches and I didn´t notice when exactly, but they left pretty early. As I saw her and greeted her something was telling me she will not be healed on this earth. So I kept rebuking my unbelief.

In the hospital I had more and more duties, that kept me really busy most of the time. One Friday afternoon, as I was about to leave to join the pre-weekend rounds at intensive care unit, my nurse, Jasenka (which means bright) came in and sank into the patients´ chair. She looked me in the eyes and asked sincerely: „Judith, I know your dad died, when you were much younger than me, but despite of it you are still happy. I am not ready to let my mum go. How did you put up with that?”

Lord, can it be? Is she asking for my testimony? Ok, shall I tell her the short, or the full version? Well, guess what the answer was.. Oh Lord, please help me to communicate some controversial issues of my stories well. And off I went. 

I opened my heart, I told her everything, taking the risk, that she might think I am crazy. But when I told her, that I saw my dad in heaven, and I saw what he was doing there, was what brought complete healing to my soul (you can read more about this in my article Heaven). Knowing her mum was a believer, I told her: „Jasenka, your mum will be doing in heaven what she was really created for, things she loves the most and cannot do here on this earth anymore.” I remember how at this point her eyes full of tears lighted up and she smiled beautifully. „I know what she will be doing: working!” And she received peace that surpasses all understanding. I encouraged her to pray with her mum, to read Bible and to talk to God openly about everything. About three days later her mum died.   

I remember Jasenka coming backt to work next day after burial, smiling! I even had to ask God if it was not too much. But she radiated peace, hope and love. Of course she was sad and missed her mum, but she knew, she is in the much better place, not suffering anymore, working with angels! And one more thing happened. It was like my spiritual authority for that place was passed on her, she started encouraging the team, bringing light, peace and joy to her co-workers! It was really God´s divine timing. I could leave the place knowing His presence is staying there. Jasenka even told me, that as orthodox she was never lead to read the Bible for herself, but she started doing it! And last time I met my dream-team, we made some pictures and she showed me excited: „Look, we look so alike!” I had to smile, yes, we are both daughters, princesses of the most high God, we are truly sisters! Thank you Lord!
