My Sweet Boy

He’s his mother’s child for sure. He doesn’t want anyone to worry about him and he has a very difficult time admitting when he needs help. I have always been that way too.

I recently gave him money for medicine he needs and today he sent me a ZELLE for the amount I had sent. “Mom, I’m still feeling sick but I was able to go door dash for awhile and earned enough to pay you back.” He said. Instant tears flooded over me as all I could say is, “I love you.”

I love his heart so much and I hate seeing him in pain and struggling. But these small victories speak to my soul the beauty of what is often produced in us through suffering; more love. I know on the other side of his hard days he will be a beacon of light to others in this world and that makes me so hopeful and gives me strength today to push forward even harder on the Angels Flame Diaries project.

So often in this world the acts that are glorified are shallow in nature or create fear in our hearts. I am so driven to share the stories that never make it into the lights; the untold truths of love’s power and the saints hiding behind the faces of strangers who seed that love in our world still today.

Thank you to all who have prayed for Josh and keep praying for his journey. And thank you for all who seek the LIGHT OF HOPE and support me to keep walking in faith in the light factory and in the fund raising efforts for our documentary.
