Sarah Robinson The Holy Spirit is ALIVE!
A doctor told Sarah Robinson her diagnosis was chronic and she'd manage it for the rest of her life. She told him four months. It took seven years, two miscarriages, a near-fatal drug reaction, and a lot of prayer — and this week she tells the whole story.
You know the appointment. The one where someone doesn't look up from the clipboard, hands you a word you've never heard, and tells you this is your life now. Here's your medication. Here's a diet that might take the edge off. See you in a couple of months.
Sarah Robinson had that appointment in September of 2018, the day after her birthday, in the same week she lost her first baby.
This week at the kitchen table, Sarah tells us the whole arc — and she doesn't tidy it up. Two miscarriages, the second one ectopic. An ulcerative colitis diagnosis she'd never heard of. A prescription she turned out to be allergic to, that two doctors later told her would have killed her if she'd stayed on it another two days. Fifteen days of bed rest at ten weeks pregnant, down to ninety-something pounds, watching her husband on the carpet begging God for her life. A season she calls her glass season, where she sat behind glass and watched everyone else live.
And running alongside all of it: a father who walked into a prayer closet with a bone to pick and came out changed. A four-year-old who spoke a promise over her mother's grief. A stranger at a house church who prayed over a wound she had no way of knowing about. And a vision of a room Sarah had never seen — that she walked into a week later in Mesa, Arizona.
What makes this one worth your time isn't the ending. It's that Sarah refuses both easy versions of the story. She won't tell you medicine is the enemy, and she won't tell you faith made it simple. She held both at once. She took the medication when she was pregnant and dependent and out of options, and she prayed the entire time. She calls grief holy, and says it never once cost her her faith.
There's a moment near the end where she names something most of us walk right past. We have no trouble saying I am forgiven because Jesus died. We have an enormous amount of trouble saying I am healed. Same cross, she says. Same sentence.
Sarah is also just a joy to sit with. There's a bonfire s'more confession, a running argument about weighted vests, and a story about how she cold-called our clinic and informed us we were going to be best friends. She was right.
If you've been handed a diagnosis and told to make your peace with it, this one is for you. Stay to the end — she prays over you.

Lines worth writing down
"That word's not in my Bible." — on being told chronic"There's leeches and life givers as friends. And the life giving comes from the life that's within you.""Mommy, it's okay. God has a baby for us. He promised. The rainbow." — Sophia, age four"Grief doesn't mean you've lost faith. The world is broken and bodies break and flesh hurts. But in my heart, I still had faith.""Do you believe in Jesus? Do you believe Jesus still heals? Can you see me healed in your mind right now? If you can't, we cannot work together.""I would never say I have. It was always I was diagnosed with, or I have symptoms of.""We have no problem saying because Jesus died, I am forgiven. But we have such a hard time saying because Jesus died, I am healed.""A sick body is not able to serve, is not able to be present, is not able to glorify God." — Annie
