Prayer in School

Wow what a day. So I wrote about hearing God speaking to me on Saturday. Well it happened it again today. I went in to Mrs. Swain's room to ask her if I could borrow her TV for a TV show tonight. I was in there and she told me that I should talk to this one student. He just found out at lunch that his grandmother has cancer. Nanci said that I should talk to him since I had just lost a grandparent as well. Well we begin talking about how hard it is to think of someone you love not being there anymore. And then how things are once they are gone. I was talking to him about the three years when Papa was in and out of the hospital and he shared with me about how his grandmother has always been there for him. That is when I felt this tug in me to ask the boy if I could pray for him and his grandmother. And so I asked and he said that would be fine. So Nanci, the student and I all gathered around and I prayed for this boy and his grandmother. It was so awesome that I could sit down with this person who I have never met and share this part of my life with him that is so difficult for me to talk about. Even though it has been almost two years since I lost my granddad. And then to be able to just ask if I could pray for him. It was a great feeling. Knowing that God just used me. And the best part about it is that I was in a place where God knew I could be used. It has been a while since my walk has been strong enough for God to use me. Wow. God is GREAT!!! Understatement I know but there are no words to describe him. So if you could just be praying for this student and his grandmother as the future is going to be a little rough. That God would draw them to him and that the time they have left together would be blessed and cherished by all. Hope you are having a wonderful week.
