Hi John,<\/span><\/p>\n I just got home from having a colonoscopy a short while ago.\u00a0 I had the sweetest experience just before they began the procedure, and I wanted to share.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve been super busy with work and life lately, so I\u2019ve hardly had much time to think about this upcoming colonoscopy.\u00a0 Today, after I got settled in my room and was waiting to be wheeled back for the procedure, it hit me what was getting ready to happen, and I started to feel uneasy and a little afraid.\u00a0 By the time they wheeled me into the procedure room, I felt really nervous. There were at least six people in that little room, including doctors, nurses and two anesthesiologists. While they were all busy doing their part to prep me for the procedure,\u00a0 I started talking to Jesus.\u00a0 I told him I felt afraid, and he very gently spoke this to my heart:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cListen to me.\u00a0 You are going to be just fine. To them (the medical team), you are just another patient; the next procedure, but I am in charge of every person in this room and I love you and I\u2019m going to take care of you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n His voice was a calm that cut right through the scurry of activity going on in that room. He felt so close, and tears started falling down my cheeks.\u00a0 There was a sweet lady standing behind me and she started rubbing my forehead and patting my arm.\u00a0 I reached up and patted her hand and thanked her for taking care of me. When I did that, she bent down and whispered in my ear, \u201cWe are going to take good care of you\u201d.\u00a0 It felt like Jesus whispering in my ear. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever felt so comforted and so loved.\u00a0 The next thing I remember is waking up in the recovery room.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s so, so sweet to feel Jesus loving us, and to be reassured that he is taking such complete care of us.\u00a0 I know he\u2019s on the job 24\/7, but I\u2019m thankful I got to especially feel that today. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n His love is overwhelming, and it\u2019s real. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Thank you precious Jesus, for loving us.<\/span><\/p>\n Lee Ann\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n p.s. Everything looked good on my colonoscopy.\u00a0 I don\u2019t take that for granted either.\u00a0 Thankful!<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi John, I just got home from having a colonoscopy a short while ago.\u00a0 I had the sweetest experience just before they began the procedure, and I wanted to share.
