Attention

Sometimes I'm not sure how to handle the attention that Break the Grey receives. For instance, I am currently a junior at Anderson University, and our school newspaper, "The Andersonian," ran an article about Break the Grey on Wednesday on its front page. Check it out here.

I don't want people to get the wrong idea: I don't do Break the Grey for the attention. Neither do any of our volunteers. We do it all for the glory of God.

That said, I've been given the opportunity to speak up about Break the Grey and childhood cancer this coming Tuesday, March 1, in chapel. This basically means that I get the chance to talk about my passion and God's heart for sick kids to roughly 1,500-2,000 college students, faculty, and staff. Yikes.

I want to do it right.

Over the past few days, I've had a great example. Susana's family recently posted the video of their little girl's celebration of life service online. They asked that it be passed along as much as possible to give as much glory to God as possible. Wow. How amazing.

I watched the video, and it was awe-inspiring. Cody, Susana's dad, spoke, and did a remarkable job of pointing to Jesus Christ, even in the death of his 4-year-old child. You can watch the video below and then go here to leave a message for their family if you wish.

Please pray that all of this attention - whether it's speaking to a bunch of college kids or speaking at a service to commemorate the life of a child - would be reflected back on the One to whom it belongs.

"Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name give glory, for the sake of Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness." - Psalm 115:1
