Ok, I'm new to this site, so I'm not really comfortable with it yet and I usually don't start posting on a new site until I've been browsing it for a few days. But I have a prayer request so I'll just post it.
My Pastor's Kidney failed. Now, I'm no doctor and I haven't been able to talk to him since it happened, so I don't really know the technical details. All I know is that they put a transplant (I think that's what it's called) in him. And I know, deep down inside that he does not have much longer to live. Everytime I talk or think about it, makes me want to cry because not only is he going to be the first person to die in my life that I'm really close to, but if he dies, I don't know who or where I will ask questions about God and my life not knowing if I'll get the right answer.
He is the only person I have ever really trusted when it comes to God. I don't even ask my parents questions because I know they don't always have the right answer. But he does. And I have never really said this outloud or to anyone, but I love him very much. And I know God has kept him alive a lot longer than he would have if God wasn't in his life. Because God had a purpose for him. I only met him in 1998, and I tell you, I did not know God in 1997. And yet, because of him, God is #1 in my life now only 6 years later. And I know if it weren't for him I wouldn't know God as much as I do now.
So, all I ask is a simple prayer for him. I know God has his angels preparing to meet him in Heaven. I only wish I could go with him, but I know I can't.
