Ryan, the Angel

                                                                                                                       

Ryan,

    Reed and I can't thank you enough for the help you gave us and Tracy yesterday by the side of the road. Reed has been a Christian over 50 years and I have for 44 and we have never had an experience where God intervened so directly in our circumstances. Thank you for listening to the Holy Spirit. Tracy was raised in a Christian home, church and school, but his faith has wavered for the past 15 years. Tracy had literally just said, "I will never believe in God. I can't see Him, and He can't see me." That's when your car pulled up. Tracy was a little loopy from the lorazepam he had for withdrawal, but felt as if God or an angel had showed up to help him. Later he said, "I will never doubt there is a God because of what He did for me today."

     That doesn't mean the rest of the trip was easy, especially the last hour, but the last thing Tracy wanted before we walked with him into Rimrock was for us to pray for him. I knew he would want to leave and we got a message from the nurse there saying he wants to just detox and come home. Please pray that he stays the full 29 days. I hope Tracy will call you. We were all incredibly moved by this miraculous encounter. You acted as God's messenger, so I will always think of you as Ryan, the Angel.

Mr. and Mrs. Lamb,

I am humbled by the kind words and naturally give credit where it is due—God.  There are too many times that I cannot even count that I would have continued on with attempting to make an important meeting, but in this case my heart overwhelmed my head to turn around and assist as needed.  I am so very grateful that your son was able to connect his immediate challenges with seeing God from my visit.  That is the beginning of an incredible life change.  I will continue to pray for your family and please feel free to reach out for additional support or anything else that is warranted.  I would be honored to send him a copy of Purpose Driven Life by Pastor Rick Warren if you think he would take the time to read it, which is ultimately what prompted me to turn my life around after my deployment to Iraq in 2004.  Blessings.
