When you asked God to send you an Angel...
In honor of you our dear friend whose life was cut tragically short... We would never have met you had you not prayed a secret prayer asking God to help you, asking God to "send you an angel" (your exact words) to help you in a time of pain and loss. And I stand here today with a sense of sobriety and the feeling of awesome responsibility, because somehow on that morning last year in June, I heard the Holy Spirit of God speak to me as you walked by with a word revealing the nature of your pain and loss. And on that morning, I took the risk and stopped you, a total stranger, to ask if the word God had revealed was in fact a word of revelation from the Lord. I'll never forget the look of shock on your face when you revealed to me that not only was it a word from God, but that you had been asking God in your pain, "God, send me an angel to help me". Since "angel" is a term that simply means 'messenger' and can be a human one and/or a heavenly one,...
