Called To Be A Healer

 We tend to think about "a calling" in terms of ministry and matters of faith. And while that might be the prime example, its certainly not the only kind. Imagine if God only filled "the called" into churches, how small the impact and outreach might be. Instead people of all walks of life and in all types of professions are called into their special gifting and make just as large, if not a bigger, impact to those that they encounter. Such is the case with this story which surprisingly does not include many details and Uplift's attempts to investigate further has yet to render better results. However, what is known is still heartwarming and deserving of coverage. 

Celebrating a miracle

A young lady named Bailey suddenly and unexplainably was paralyzed from the waist down. Paralysis from a known injury is scary enough but imagine just waking up one day and your legs will not work. As one might expect medical treatment was sought after and soon this young lady was in the care of the subject of this article, we'll call her Nurse Angel. After eleven days of treatment not only did Bailey regain feeling in her legs, she was able to stand up and walk. Knowing exactly who would want to celebrate this good news, she immediately wheeled herself down the hall and spotted her favorite nurse technician.

As the two made eye contact, Bailey gave her caregiver the best surprise by standing, walking toward her, and offering an embrace. Nurse Angel not only embraced her back, she shrieked with joy squeezing her patient ever so tightly as though she were her own daughter. "Yes! Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, I have been praying for you," exclaims the excited nurse as she holds the embrace and rocks back and forth with gratitude. Its no wonder Bailey went straight to this genuine and caring woman. To be this invested in your patients and to care at this level truly shows a calling into medical services. You might even say she was called to be a healer. We at Uplift believe this is not the only person that has benefitted greatly from Nurse Angel nor will it be the last. Touching people's lives, regardless of the outcome, is something to be admired and celebrated.

Walking The Walk

 As Christians we rightfully make bold claims. Our Father created the entire universe, all of the earth, then decided to create us, AND to make us in His image. Sure, we live in an imperfect world but He is mightier than the fallen state of affairs. To prove it He sent His son to ultimately fix what we so horribly broke. Our identity in Christ also allows a certain boldness you don't typically find in the average non-believer or other religious follower. He overcame death that we might live. He gives us a new identity that we can approach the throne of God like children rather than broken beggars riddled with sin. But what happens when our boldness is challenged and life drops an atomic bomb on us? Do we fold and run? Do we become consumed with anxiety and resentment? Do we just talk the talk or can we actually walk the walk? Those questions are hard for me to answer personally and quite honestly I am not inviting a bomb to land on my lap as a means of testing. However, that exact

Jimmy Darts, Mending Hearts

Every TikTok video starts out the same. A challenge is issued by Jimmy's audience that he reads aloud and accepts. These challenges are typically a way to test the kindness or tolerance levels of strangers. One example might be going down a neighborhood street knocking on doors asking to use their shower. While many otherwise kind people might still turn him down, given that he is a stranger, he always seems to find that loving person who bends over backwards for him regardless of the audacity of his request. As a reward, Darts usually gives a minimum of $500 all of which is donated to him by his audience. Call it a kindness prank of sorts but one click on his videos will send you down an endless binge-fest of his content as it restores faith in humanity with every new post.  Jimmy Darts, AKA Jimmy Kellogg Often times Jimmy gets to know the people in his videos on a deeper level. They are so touched by his gesture that an outflow of trust becomes the norm and soon they are telling
