Rambling

These past couple of days I feel as if I have been presented with the feeling of timing and God's timing in everything. I just found out my cousin has cancer. It is in advancing stages and the outcome is looking pretty bleek. He was the first grandchild on my dad's side, probably everyone's favorite cousin (including mine), and the father of two adorable kids, lily (4) and olivia (1). He is the first one in my family to really be sick which is suprising simply because he is one hoss of a guy. I love him and so does my family. For the last couple of weeks, I have heard the word prayer. I feel like God was pointing out to me how my prayer life is lacking and ways I could improve it. He also has put some pretty great people in my life who have really shown me how the christian should pray. I was excited about this development but more for selfish reasons. Now I am realizing that God was preparing me for this moment. I will pray like hell for my cousin, and I hope everyone else will too.
