This is my third Lent listening to the Pray40 challenge on Hallow. I originally listened to it for free and then I purchased the app on accident last year but then this year, I bought it. And I love the challenges for both Lent and Advent.
This is my fourth time through the Bible and I am listening to the gospel of John right now. I am so amazed at what is going on with me right now! I can’t explain it but it’s something big! It’s wonderful!
Thursdays during Pray40, they share a faith story. Yesterday, there was a man named Larry Dorame. He introduced himself as, “A husband and father who has been fighting chronic disease for the better part of a decade.”
My ears perked up at that and I was very interested seeing that I have been fighting it for the better part of two decades. His chronic illness is different than mine, but chronic illness is chronic illness. It’s terrible? Awful? Tiring?
It IS and I’ve got it! I cried as Larry was telling his story because it was different but it’s the same. He spoke of, The Chosen and referenced this specific scene:
So, of course, I had to watch it and I have seen it five times and I have to report that all five times, I have balled my eyes out! I can’t tell you how many times I asked God this exact question or prayed for some medical advancement.
I kind of like this answer better and maybe that’s why I am bawling my eyes out. I totally feel that God is doing something within me and it’s so big. I’m so excited for Holy Week!!!
