I just got a call from Kesha and she just found out her dad died. He was found in his apartment today. Please pray for Kesha as I know this will be an incredibly hard time for her. I am still in Canada and don’t get in until 11pm tomorrow, so I am worried about her. Please lift her up in your prayers as she goes through this loss.

When I arrived to work on Monday morning I received a phone call from my older sister that started like this…
Me: Hey, how’s it going?
Sarah: Not good…do you have time to talk?
Right then I knew something really bad had happened. She told me that my younger sister Heather had been in a horrible car accident in the middle of the night. Heather was in serious condition, and so was her friend – Jeremy. They didn’t know if he was going to make it.
Since that call we have learned that Jeremy died, and my sister Heather has a broken neck. It is a horrible tragedy that has now turned even worse. And to make matters worse, we found out that they were both impaired at the time of the accident and Heather has now been charged with “Driving while Impaired Resulting in Death”.
I can’t say enough good things about Heather. She is such a sweet girl who is funny and has so much love for her friends. But she made a horrible choice that will now be with her for life.
I want to ask that you would all pray for Heather. She is facing a huge crossroads in her life. This can either be the beginning of a incredible testimony for her, or she could just give up. I pray for the former. I am pleading for God’s hand to be so strong during this trial.
I also want to lift up the family of her friend who died. I can’t imagine losing a son and a brother. I am asking God to be gracious to them during this time and offer a peace beyond understanding.
Please join me in this prayer battle. I know that the Enemy would love to take advantage of this situation and make it even worse (if that’s possible). I covet your prayers. Please ask for this story to be redeemed.

This is a unique season in my life. I feel like I am learning so much about truth and holiness. God is opening my heart in ways that are long overdue and stretching me far beyond my comfortable limits. But I trust that as I put my life in His hands that He will work miracles.
I see my beautiful wife and my precious daughter and I just stand in awe of the amazing gifts God has given me. I want so much to be a strong man for them. I want to be a godly man with integrity. But my flesh gets in the way so often. My prayer life has been stronger than it has been in a long time lately. But on the other side of the token, I feel the attacks on my life growing stronger every day.
I don’t really know why I am writing this post. I guess just to say that I am struggling in this battle. I need God’s help and could always use a few prayers.
