Just Wanted to Check on You...

Getting woken up in the middle of the night is a frequent occurance here and usually it is because of all of the noises that go on in the neighborhood at all hours of the night and morning. But this time, I was woken up by a phone call at 1:30am. It was one of the boys who comes on Friday nights to Teen Ministry. He sounded a little frantic, so I asked if he was ok. He said, “Yes, I was just calling to check on you because my Mom saw smoke coming from near your apartment and I she wanted me to see if you were ok.” I had no idea what was happening, so I stayed on the phone with him and looked outside. A car was on fire and the fire department was here. The next morning I woke up and the car was a mess. Somehow things like this don’t seem unusual because crazy things like this happen all the time here. A few days after the call, I saw this same boy and he said that before he called me that night, he had ran over to my apartment but I didn’t answer the door. So, he called just to make sure I was ok. I was so touched by that. The ground was covered in snow that night, but he jumped out of bed and ran two buildings over in the middle of the night, just to make sure I was ok. After talking to him, I was overwhelmed by God’s GOODNESS. He has set people up for me like him and his Mom who are always checking on me and making me feel so LOVED. Thank you JESUS!
