It’s awesome to see how God uses all kinds of situations to help others and just bring Glory to Him.
a little info. – Before i left for the race i was living with my grandparents (Nana and Papa Herman). It was such a blessing..
and before i left my Papa Herman started getting sick and he was actually in the hospital when we launched for the Race. But the last time i saw him he was doing so good and i just knew he’d be okay.
he was for about 2 months and i just found out that he is in the hospital again and it’s not looking good.
i can’t even think about him without crying and i’m so sad for my Nana because she’s feeling helpless right now.
Part of me wishes that i could be home right now so i could help somehow.. but i know all i can do is what i’m doing here- praying.
…………
two nights ago my team went out to the beach area to have worship. and if we saw anyone that we felt God wanting us to go talk to/ pray for then we would do it.
this is also the same day that i talked to my dad and he told me about everything that was going on at home.. great timing, right?
So we were about to start worship and Andrew had noticed two girls sitting right behind us on the grass, and one girl was crying and her friend was hugging her.
Andrew told me he just really felt that I should go talk to her because he had a feeling it might have something to do with her family at home.
Let me just say, stuff like this makes me so nervous because i feel like i’m gonna look like a crazy person who is just blabbering. ha
but i prayed about it for a while and i finally walked up and sat next to them.
i found out that they are two 20 yr olds just traveling around Australia for 7 months. and i got to share what i was doing this year.. and it turns out that they are christians!
whew! that part made me really happy.
I ended up asking her if there was anything i could pray for her and she started crying and telling me that her best friend at home is going through a really hard time. and she shared the story with me..
then i was able to tell her about my Papa Herman and we cried together
and then i got to pray with these two girls.
I know that God had His hand on this.. and it’s so cool every single time that i get to be apart of it.
i have no idea what will happen with that girls best friend.. just like i have no idea what will happen to my Papa Herman.
all i can do is pray and trust.. and let God be my comforter.
