Tender Thoughts for Jordan

Email from a fan:

"I just wanted to tell you I finished "Out of the Closet Into the Light" in about 2 hours,  I couldn't put it down.  The only thing that got me through the heartbreaking and devastating stories of Jordan's childhood was knowing how the book would end,  so I kept pushing on. I just wanted to tell you it has blessed me greatly,  and before I read it,  I was crying in prayer over a few things in my life I need to fully give to God. And when I read Jordan's prayer at the end of the book,  I felt great peace that the Father had just confirmed in my heart and spirit through that prayer, that He is right here in the midst of it all, loving and caring and faithful to all his promises! 

I can't thank you enough and was hoping you could let Jordan know that I am so grateful for his testimony and it has impacted me greatly! I saw on his blog that he is enduring great trials and testing,  and I want him to know there are people he has never met that are praying for him!" ~Joshua 

Accepting the Inevitable

 

The Lord is very close to Jordan now. I can feel it, and I pray continually that he can feel it and know that even though many have abandoned him, God will always send a precious choice few to comfort him. He is loved and treasured by the Most-High, and one day he will finally come to know just how treasured and valiant he is. He will come to know the perfect, all-encompassing love of his Savior and Redeemer, and he will glory in that love even more than he does now.

Jordan has worn himself out in service to the Lord by serving his fellow man. His life is a monument of all that's good in the world, and when he finally does meet his Savior, I believe with all my heart that the Lord will embrace him and whisper, "Well done. Now enter into my rest. Your reward has been prepared by me."

I love you, Jordan. No matter what, I will never let you be forgotten. Your life matters more than you can possibly know right now. But you will. I promise you in time, you will.

Prayers for Jordan

Update from Jordan

Because Jordan has been so focused on sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and serving others, we now have the opportunity to serve him, and he needs all the prayer and service we can give him.

Jordan's Mother's Day/Father's Day Message

 

Since Jordan doesn't have a cyber voice and isn't in the physical and emotional state to share what he has been dealing with for sometime now, he asked me to be his voice and speak for him. 

On September 11, 2019, Jordan suffered an accident that has left him disabled in many ways. Because of the back trauma, he can only walk with the assistance of a walker. He suffered a major concussion that has altered everything and he deals with memory loss as well as the ability to think clearly. He is in pain 24/7 and there is no relief from it. His energy is shot and his system has been breaking down a little at a time. Some days, he literally cannot get out of bed. And when he does leave his apartment, it is usually to go to medical appointments, and even then, he has to navigate his way through the chaos surrounding downtown Portland. There have also been times when he has trudged the streets on his walker to serve the homeless people populating his city block, taking food and other personal things he has no need for, and distributing this among those who have lost hope.

Sadly, despite all this, Jordan feels abandoned and alone. He has been abandoned by the very people who should be offering help and comfort - his fellow church members.

There is a lot going on in the world and most of us are focused on making our way through the madness and surviving. But what about the those who are suffering alone? What about fulfilling our callings as brothers and sisters in Christ? Why do we not recognize the opportunities to serve those who are suffering and act on those opportunities?

As I said a couple of times before, the Lord sees everything. He knows our every thought and witnesses our ever deed, and hears our every word. Nothing - absolutely nothing - is hidden from Him. ~Jewel
