Trey Erwin Day!

Today would have been Trey's 16th birthday. This precious family has been heavy on my heart for months now, since I first learned of Trey's battle with cancer and more importantly, the amazing way God was working through him day in and day out. In honor of the incredible life this amazing young man lead, the city of Collierville, TN has declared his birthday to be "Trey Erwin Day". What an amazing way to commemorate such a precious, precious boy and the legacy he has made! I can't imagine the grief his family is enduring at this time, having to cope with the loss of not physically having their precious boy with them. I do believe strongly however that Trey is with them in spirit and they will be reunited with him someday soon. I think Trey would want us all to celebrate his 16th birthday today! He would want us to celebrate: life, Christ, and our ability to impact those around us for the positive! In honor of his precious life, I wanted to dedicate today's blog post to Trey Erwin and his beautiful family. I pray God continues to work through them, strengthen them, and stirs the souls of countless people who have been impacted by Trey's story and his passion for Christ. For those of you who might not be familiar with Trey's story, here is the link to his CaringBridge.

Happy Trey Erwin Day!

Please Pray for Trey

Please spend time today sending prayers and thoughts out to the family of Trey Erwin. At only 15 years old, his body has been riddled with a very rare form of Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer. My heart absolutely breaks for this precious family! Pray for Trey to find comfort and relief from his pain and suffering.




According to his mother's journal post this morning, Trey's body is shutting down from the cancer that has ravaged him; things are not looking well. Trey's birthday is at the end of the month (and his little brother, Collin's birthday is coming up soon too). Only God knows how much time we have, but Trey's doctors think he may earn his angel wings in the next 24 hours. His precious parents and his little brother covet your prayers and comfort. Pray for them today, and in the coming days, weeks, months, and years. They need  love and support right now. I pray that God holds this precious family in the palm of His hands. Trey's incredible spirit has touched so many lives; it is my hope that his legacy, and the strength and kindness of his family will continue on. Some people live their entire lives and never think about the impact they make, or the example they lead. In Trey's 15 short years, Trey has displayed an admiral faith and an incredible walk with God. He has displayed perseverance and grace towards others; and love and strength despite the difficult affliction he has faced with this cancer diagnosis. What an incredible legacy and impact he has made on those around him! Trey is a true hero, and a beautiful child of God. I truly believe in my heart that God has an incredible plan for Trey, bigger than we can imagine! He has used this precious boy and his wonderful family to impact the live of so many! I pray that Trey and his family find peace and through this heartbreaking time. Please pray for them continuously.

If you want to donate to the family, and send your love and support in that venue, please go through the fund they have set up to help cover all of the expenses from missed work days, medical treatments, and such. You can donate at any location. Below, I've listed the address for the Collierville branch near their home:
