Praise God! Today my friend who was in the hospital came home!!!! I thank the Lord so much that he is now home and better! Thank you so much to those of you who prayed for him even though you didn't know him! It truly is by God's grace alone that he is still alive! I was down a bit today after hearing that I missed a lecture on the Dead Sea Scrolls on Monday (when I had skipped class to go visit him), but after getting the text message and finding out that he was able to come home, I was estatic! It made my week! As many of you know, this friend is like a brother to me, and his wife like a sister, so I just praise and thank God so much for carrying them through this, and also to all of you who prayed for them.

 

It's amazing what events can stem from one incident . . . but I'm not permitted to go into that yet.

 

Also, to any of you I have been instructed to keep a (literal) prayer list to go through each night. So if you have anything, anything at all you would like prayer for just email/call/text/carrier pigeon me and let me know what it is (can be roughly, don't have to go into details unless you want to), and I will add it to my prayer list for that night. Yes, I do pray for whatever you guys ask me to, but that is a mental list I would keep. Now, it's to be a literal prayer list/general, made of paper and ink.

 

It's amazing when I think about it, but any prayer I've prayed with an honest heart, I've always seen the answer to. It may take a while, but it is always answered, even if it's not in the way I thought it would be.

 

Anyhoo, God Bless! Love you all!
