Tomorrow was supposed to be my first day of my sophomore year of college, but the Lord had other plans. Instead of waking up in my new dorm room, heading to my new classes, I’ll be heading into a month of pain and weakness... It’s times like these where I am reminded that God is above, beneath, before, and behind me. He’s got me. Why should I ever doubt that He doesn’t? He’s already protected me from 14 surgeries, what’s one more?
On 29 July 2024, Jase's daughter underwent her sixteenth surgery. She took to social media to request for prayers, posting the words below.
