Inspired

Have you ever met people that just totally impact your life? Have you ever read something some one has said that made you say, "Wow!"? Have you ever heard someone say words of encouragement that leave you speechless?

Every day at 8:20 I get the opportunity to pray for a dear friend of mine and Justin's. Most of you who read my blogs probably can guess who but for those of you who don't I get the opportunity to pray for Laura Shook.

This woman has such a beautiful outlook on life and what God has given her. Even though she was recently diagnosed with cancer she has seen a NEW mission in her life and in her words God has hand picked her. To think that when she goes to the hospital for treatment she is in continuous prayer for the other people in the room. WOW. She has a heart full of God's love and mercy. I know most of you know or have heard about a person that was sick but still looked on the positive. I don't think I have every meet anyone that did it with as much grace as Laura does.

I sat in my office today and just wept. I am healthy and yet.... have I fallen in love with God. I mean I like Laura love him as my Savior but have I fell in love. Do I strive to be in continuous prayer?

Laura doesn't even know what God has really called her too but she is willing to be a warrior for him.

She has reminded me of what a Powerful, Loving God we have.

She has inspired me.
