Day 8

The day started off with prayer. A group of friends and I meet in my apt every Thurs morning to pray for each other, to pray for the nations, and it was wonderful.

Breakfast (running late): a cup of Energen. $0.13
Lunch: brown rice, one fried egg, wild green onion, 1 tbs of fresh salsa $0.29
Snack: another cup of Energen $0.13
Dinner: brown rice, one boiled egg, wild green onion, salsa $0.29
Snack: a handful of raisins $0.14
Approx total: $0.98

On the way to my first class, though, I got a text message from my best friend, saying to check another friend's facebook status, and it read this: "Well for those who don't know. my brother Tim's patrol was hit by an IED very early this morning. Tim lost both of his legs in the explosion. from what i have heard he is stable and the doctors are saying he should live. please keep my family in your prayers and especially my brother." 


When I was 15, my family had moved to the Middle East and I had met a bunch of missionary kids who became my closest friends. Though I was better friends with Tim's older brother, Phil, I still thought of Tim as a younger brother. Phil and Tim are now both Marines, but this awful accident has apparently happened. Please pray for this family right now!
