Impact

I've never really stopped to think about how much Wade has touched and impacted others. Somebody stopped me today and wanted to talk about Wade. I know people are very hesitant to bring up what all he's been through. I know for some it must be awkward as they don't know how I will react or they fear it may upset me. I will say, many people ask about him and I usually reply with, "He's doing great. He feels good. He has his days, but for the most part, he's great." I know it shocks many people, but it's true. He's a fighter.

So back to the person who stopped me. She asked me if we realized how Wade's testimony has changed so many people. I guess I've never thought much about it. I know he's so strong and he beats the odds every single day. She goes on to tell me how somebody she talked to struggled with prayer and was unsure about a few things. However, seeing Wade battle this disease and go above and beyond what all the doctors expected, proved something to this person. This person found that the power of prayer works. It's working and Wade is living proof. The doctors told us to enjoy the time we had left. They told us to get all of affairs in order and it could be days or weeks. That was seven months ago.

It blew my mind to think Wade's faith, determination, and courage has changed somebody's life in a big way. This person sees prayer in a new light. To hear that made me wonder. How many other people is he touching? God is amazing and His love is evident. How could one doubt?
