Have you ever read about angels in the bible and wondered do they still exist today? Have you ever wondered if there are angels gracing us with their presence? If you have said yes to any of these questions, you are not alone! I too, have found myself asking the same questions at certain times in my life, but in recent days I have come to believe without a doubt, they do exist!
On Monday December 15th, I underwent a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction, you are probably wondering what that is exactly. Well, to put it plain and simple it is a surgery that takes the fat from your abdomen and uses it to reconstruct your breast. If you have read my previous blogs you already know I was diagnosed with stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in both breasts in March of this year. As you can imagine this was a shock to myself and my family but by the grace of God we all managed to walk through this season with peace and supernatural strength. The original plan was to have this procedure back in May until they found positive cancer cells in my right lymph node which caused the surgery to be delayed. This was so that I could receive 25 rounds of radiation to my right side. Once I completed the radiation I was given the green light to proceed with the surgery. I was told it was a procedure that would take six to eight hours to complete, so I would be under anesthesia for that long. In all honesty and transparency, I admit I was a bit nervous, but I knew God was in control and not done writing my story. He had given me God winks a few days before to reassure me He was not done but only getting started!
Surgery day came and I had a peace that could only come from God because I had no fears. I was ready, ready to get this done and begin healing so I could continue to live out my purpose for which God has positioned me here. Surprisingly, the surgery only took five hours instead of the usual six to eight so I was out of surgery by 1:00 pm. I came out of anesthesia without any side-effects and was transported to the room where I would be monitored for the next couple of days. Needless to say I was a little groggy that first day and was under the care of the most wonderful nurses anyone could have. My nurses had to come in every hour to check my surgery sights to make sure there was no unusual bruising or swelling, then it went to every two hours during the night. During one of the check ups with my night shift nurse, Tori, she informed me that she would be back with the new nurse during shift change. Around 4:45 am nurse Tori returned to administer my meds, check my surgery sights and take my vitals. As she came in I saw a man wearing a pink scrub top and blonde hair walk in behind her and say “Hi I’m Bobby, I’ll be looking after you today.” He appeared to be looking at monitors and continued to stand behind nurse Tori observing all she was doing, but I found it strange they never interacted, then he walked out behind her. Later, around 6:15 am she returned with my day nurse, Misty. I asked about Bobby the male nurse and neither of them knew who I was talking about. I told them he had come in with Tori at 4:45 am and said he would be looking after me. Tori just smiled at me and said “no, I was by myself.” I am sure they both thought the medication was giving me hallucination but I had already been off anesthesia for almost 24 hours by this time. So, I choose to believe God sent Bobby the Angel to look after me. I believe he administered healing to my body because I have had minimal pain or discomfort. I have been getting up walking, doing my breathing exercises and well, writing this blog because, 1) I feel good and 2) I had to share this testimony! I researched angels in the bible because I had to be sure of what I saw and this is what God confirmed for me through His word.
Exodus 23:20 “See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.”
Psalm 91:11-12 “(11) For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; (12) they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”
Bobby the angel was sent ahead of me and sent to take charge over me that day to ensure the healing God promised. So, if you think you have seen an angel, you probably did and they were sent to take charge over you too.
