They are hurting so desperately and need the pain to stop. It is a pain that we cannot understand. I believe that you have had an incredible life journey and God has gifted you in a special way to be present to people. God will let you know what God has in mind for you. Bless you.

I think we need to talk again.<br /><br />And Saturday, I was getting the clear feeling that maybe I was being called to a ministry of spiritual direction (which I think is simply listening) with people with cancer.
