I totally did another walkby today... UGHHHH!
A client that I hadn't seen in over a year came in today. As I was talking with her she told me she had to have neck surgery next month because she had a degenerating disk resulting from a car accident. The whole time she is telling me the story... my mind is racing.
Should I ask if I can pray for her? I wonder if that will freak her out? What would she think? Over and over again! I can't ask her now in the middle of this . I'll wait until I am done... Phewwww! The moment passed! My window of opportunity passed by.
After a few moments of silence and a brief discussion about something which was obviously of very little importance in my opinion, because I can't remember it now... I brought the topic of discussion back to healing.
I began to tell her of all the miracles that we had had at our church and how good God was. She asked about the church. Still I didn't offer to pray. I thought to myself... I will ask her when we are done.
Her session ended... AND... I forgot! I know you are thinking, "How could she forget?!?!?!" But it was true I did! Totally forgot and let her leave without saying a word. I got back into my office and found her wedding ring. I thought, AHA! I have a second shot at this in the same day! I called her and she came up to get it. Even with my best laid plan, I forgot a second time! I was distracted as I had another client going out and one coming in and it was starting to rain, and I completely missed it.
I think I have come to the conclusion though that it wasn't quite the right time yet, for whatever reason. I did get the opportunity to plant seeds about God's goodness and His willingness to heal, so maybe she will be back and I will get to pray for her before her surgery :O)
