Be in prayer for my building because were in the midst of the most intense spiritual warfare I’ve ever witnessed. In the past year, there have been 5 separate cases where people have died- the last three have directly involved my dorm, Pritchard Hall.
You all know about last April- we’re all still working through that. The Shootings at NIU brought flashbacks for everyone. The anniversary is just around the corner too.
In November we had a kid commit suicide when he jumped off the 7th floor of Pritchard
Last Wednesday my roommate Josh’s Mom died after a long battle with cancer
And last night a car hit a bunch of our friends walking to the parking lot. Zack managed to dodge, Dave and Chris got clipped, Dan’s leg was broken and was surgically repaired last night, and Cristine died on the scene. All of these folks have been on the fringe of IV for a while. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be in prayer for Christiane's family. Also pray for Zack and Dan who are both blaming themselves for not being able to protect her. Zack has been having a really rough semester, and this just adds to his trouble. Dan had been dating Christiane for well over a year.
The Devil is not happy with what God is doing in this building.
Pray

I am bro, the enemy is strong, but God is stronger. I know He is gunna do something even more awesome than any evil that the enemy can bring to Pritchard.
Peace Bro.
yea, i definitely will keep praying for pritchard. the man castle is under siege. [doesn't that sound incredibly manly]
but God is bigger and will keep working in the midst of everything
Dude- for real. We ARE. Dang. Maybe we need a moat and some crocks. But yea I was just talking to Isaac, and we all came to the realization that these events over the last year haven't really hurt out faith in God at all, but forced us to cling closer to him for hope and peace. So yea- there's some good fruit in this all. Its just real hard to find at times.
stay strong. if the devil's trying this hard then you're doing really doing something.
Every great story/testimony has conflict...your in the midst of the conflict of your story. How you respond, which your character always rises to the occasion, reveals your heart. Do not be afraid Erik, continue to seek God's guidance,love, and grace. Let me know if you ever want to talk. I'm praying for you and Pritchard.
