Her name is Ophania. She said it means "to appear." Please pray for her. She was my waitress on the road, today, and perhaps one of the main reasons i drew breath this morning.
Ophania is the mother of three children. Last year her firstborn, an 18-year-old son, was murdered. Her heart is obviously broken.
As she wept unstoppable tears, i simply and sacredly listened and prayed and finally spoke tender words of care, life, and hope into her pain. i left her with the words of the Psalmist, 34:18: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed."
i am not a hero. i am, however, a great and a grateful debtor; so, i basically breathe to be found showing up in the lives of others -- all others -- as a humble carrier of the Presence of Jesus.

Simply trust,
