As some of you might know i just got back from a week of camp. It was AWESOME, at the last camp fire we were told a story; a story of a man named Thomas, and a women named Savannah. the story begins with Thomas; Thomas grew up in a rough home his parents divorced at a young age and as a result of that he was forced to move around a lot. he had moved to a town where he then started school, he was the new kid so no one really talked to him. and as he was walking into his fourth period class (it was chemistry, that is not really an important part of the story it is just fascinating that he remembered.) and as he sat down he heard a voice, a voice of a beautiful little girl with brown hair, Hazel eyes, and braces. the voice said whats your name? as he turned his head he saw her. It was like love at first sight!
Thomas and Savannah instantly became friends. He noticed that Savannah was different. (In fact the first conversation they had was about Jesus Christ!) So within a week she had invited him to her local youth group. being as stub-urn as he was he said, No. so she kept asking week after week and on the third week he said alright ill go. So he went to that youth group and Thomas met Christ! he learned of the love he held for him and always will. So they kept talking and becoming best friends and kept learning more and more about Christ. Thomas had a crush on Savannah this entire time... So he figured he should ask her out. so he did and she said no. he asked again and he said no. He finally asked again three weeks later and she said yes.
they then began to date and grew in Love and in Faith! He ended up asking her to marry him! she said yes but that they needed to wait until she was 20 years old so her parents wouldn't get mad. so they went on in their lives and continued to love each other and the Lord... they planned the wedding 4 months later so she had time to plan.
Then Thomas received a call on his way back to the college campus where they were both attending. he got a phone call. it was her mom. she said Savannah has gotten into a terrible car accident and she might not make it; and that he needed to go to the hospital right away... so he did he got their and the doctor explained the situation. and said that they had done all they could. he walked in the room and he sat at her feet and kissed them as she was in a coma...
the doctor explained that she only had 6 days to live. he sat at her feet and said over and over that he loved her so much and wanted her to come back and marry him... the six days came and went. six days then became six weeks. six weeks became six months, and there wedding day came and went... he sat at her feet and prayed to God that she would stay with him!! he loved her SO MUCH he stayed there for her at her feet and prayed for 8 months... she passed away with him waiting at her feet loving her the whole time through...
God loves us the same way!!! He sits at our feet while we are in a coma of sin and he prays for us forever and always. he wants us with such a passion that he will wait forever! Whether you believe or not he loves you! and he wants you to wake up! He says that you are like his bride dressed in a beautiful dressed and fine clothing! but as Thomas told us the story he also told us not to feel sad for him but to be happy for Savannah because she gets to live with the creator and that is what God prays for everyday
Thank you
