Day 25
Dear Ed, The first time we met in the hallway of the concert venue you asked me to share my story. I remember feeling scared and wishing you would forget what you asked. But you didn’t. A few minutes before I walked on stage that night you told me I had two minutes. I remember praying and asking God to give me every word. As I grabbed the microphone and looked at the two-thousand people staring back at me I was confident the person in the back row could see my heart beating out of my chest. A few sentences into my story the crowd went silent. When I exited the stage you greeted me enthusiastically with a big hug and said “Phil, that was exactly two mintues! How did you do that?” I shrugged my shoulders and said, “Only God.” Ed, thanks for always believing in me. God sent you to stretch my faith and help me carry out my calling.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
