I went to bed early last night as I was going to be getting up early this morning. I am going to Springfield, TN to meet the horses which will be used at the Fallen Heroes Family Camp. I am volunteering as one of their Team Leads. I will be assigned to a family who has lost their Father while serving in the military.
Around 1 am my phone buzzed a couple of times and woke me up. It was Phillip, he was thanking me for the invite to meet up with his Mom and letting me know it won't work out to get together today. Then we proceeded to talk for 3 hours. Maybe more, my last message from him came in at 4:45am. He told me during the conversation he was drinking, playing video games and forgetting.
I feel for him. He is lonely, he says he misses me, wants to see me, but it is for the wrong reasons. I asked if he wanted to talk about his situation and he said no. I believe with time when he is ready he will talk, until then I continue to pray for him and his Mom and be there as a friend.
I find it to be a great honor that God has trusted me to be a friend, and let Phillip still think of me and want to talk to me.
Good things are coming - I believe!
