eric

this is a post asking for some prayer. almost 6 weeks ago a friend of the family, eric, was badly burned when he lost consciousness while showering. he suffered second and third-degree burns over much of his body as well as damage to his lungs, throat and kidneys. he’s in bad shape, but is fighting hard and winning small battles every day!

you can read his story and find updates on his condition at his caringbridge website:

it really is an amazing story of God working and caring about the details of each of our lives.

eric’s mom and family, in the midst of their own trials, have shown great willingness to share God’s love with those around them. The stories that they have told about the people they’ve met are truly remarkable and it’s clear that God is using them in a powerful way! what an encouragement they are!

i was going to post a couple of the stories here, but decided against it… read them, though, in the journal, especially june 20, 29, 30. it’s completely worth it! God is amazing and loves his children so much!
