Well, our students are back and the semester has begun. The Lord works in mysterious ways we all know that....I have two very important prayer request. Within about a week of each other 2 of our students have been diagnosed with leukemia. Marcus George who I believe is a sophomore and Candice Farrell who is a freshman. We prayed for Marcus in Chapel on Tuesday and then today we prayed for Candice. They both will of course not be able to be in school this semester and will both be enduring Chemo. As we were about to pray today it occurred to me that maybe God's whole purpose in their lives was to have them here at SWU so that they would know that he would be holding them like lambs in his arms during this storm...and so that they would know that there was a community that would take the time to stop in the middle of the day to pray for their needs and who would continue to pray for their needs through this entire, difficult journey. Not every college would do that...not every college would even know a student was gone for whatever reason...like I said our Lord works in mysterious ways.
Please lift these students up in your prayers. Pray for their families as well as their doctors and nurses.
