Wake up call.

A friend of mine has cancer. He was scheduled to have a major surgery before Christmas the last time I talked to him which was in November. Then I didn't hear from him for a while. Christmas and the New Year came and went. My phone messages weren't returned so I didn't know what was going on. Well yesterday I had the privilege of talking to his wife and getting the update. His surgery went well!

One reason I was so curious, other than my concern for my friend's health, of course, was that on January 14th God woke me up at 3AM and I felt very strongly that I needed to pray for them. I did not know why, but I did just that.

Well in telling me their story it was clear that the surgery had went well and did indeed happen before Christmas so I had to ask his wife what was going on on January 14th. She told me that they had been out of the hospital for several days; staying in a hotel across the street during his follow-up time and went back on the 13th for a routine follow-up visit. During this visit it was discovered that part of his blood chemistry was dangerously high and he was immediately re-admitted and steps were taken to try and get it back down. At the precise moment he was struggling for his life, God woke me up to pray for him!

That's water in my cup for sure!
