Whatever I wanted to write about, well this trumps it. My dear friend Jeremy went from a healthy 25 year old to receiving dialysis and waiting for a liver transplant in the span of 2 weeks. Two weeks! The doctors have no idea why this is happening.
Why do I worry about chores, bills, work, etc. when life can change in a blink? A blink! Everything we go through is allowed by God, so I know He will be glorified in this. I am just sad for my friend. Jesus wept, so can I. We were supposed to be in Honduras together in 4 weeks. He was supposed to ask for an El Snickero at the pulperia. We were supposed to ride a bus together for way too many hours, enjoy the sweet smiles of the people in the village, and hug babies at the Children’s Home.
Please pray for my friend and his family. Please pray for me. I love my friend like a brother.
My memory verse for this week: Matthew 5:3-5 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
