    Seen – Part 2: Seeking

    Walking through that dark path that night, I felt so confused and disoriented. Something felt off, but I just didn’t know what it was. Tonight I pray. I pray asking you to save my uncle. Tears run down my face as I ask you to save him from this horrible disease. I am not sure how to approach my first prayer, so I found the one thing that points me to you, a bedtime prayer on my bedroom wall. I use this as my guide as well as asking you to save my uncle.

    Open Door

    How is it that you reach out into so many people’s lives knowing exactly what they need to pursue a life with you? My walk towards you wasn’t straight and definitely not perfect. It started out with a prayer asking for you to save my uncle from his cancer. He didn’t make it and I was pretty angry. I didn’t understand how this man I had just gotten to know could be taken away from me so quickly. I didn’t know that I had opened up a door in my heart for you. The door was a smidge open. Occasionally the door would open a bit more as I saw…
