Flowers from Peaches
Today we had another day of outreach at Cal, asking people for their stories and their spiritual backgrounds. Stephen and I met Peaches, a 26-year-old homeless woman from south Georgia who was diagnosed 3 years ago with terminal brain cancer. She figured, "Well, I'm going to die -- I might as well make the most out of life while I can."
And she has! She's hitchhiked over 27,000 miles from south Georgia up to NYC, across to Seattle, down to southern California, and all the way back to Florida. Even more precious though, was getting to hear her share about how her relationship with God has deepened as a result of living with cancer. I'm amazed and encouraged by her faith and her trust in his goodness, his provision, and his timing in the midst of suffering, and I hope that others will be encouraged by her story too.
