Her Story

Her name is Elijah and I've known her for years! She is that beautiful, joyful type of friend that guarantees a serious pee in your pants, tears in your eyes laugh, every time you're with her! And her laugh!! It can be heard miles away and causes anyone who hears it to smile! No joke! She's amazing! My favorite person!
A few months back her appendix ruptured and was misdiagnosed as a urinary infection. By the time she was admitted for surgery she was close to death, but she pulled through and after a long stay, returned home for additional recovery. She had been away from her young daughter for weeks and was so happy to be home! She returned to work eventually but not for long. An abscess returned her to the hospital for another surgery and several more weeks stay. She was noticeably depressed and frustrated. Finally, she returned home after several weeks. However it didn't last and again she was admitted to the hospital for another infection. She is now home and very slowly recovering from this crazy ordeal. It is believed that the infection has entered her reproductive organs and she most likely won't be able to have anymore children. Surgery may still be required. She's been unable to work for months, causing understandable financial strain.
Now it may seem strange to many, but I am oddly excited and happy for her! When I see God doing a work in someone, guiding and carrying them through some pretty tough obstacles, I'm excited for them! I know that at the end of this long, difficult road my beautiful sister in Christ will be that much better for it! Even grateful that it all occurred!! However it's now, in the thick of her suffering, that she needs prayer and support from strong, confident, like minded men and women of Christ! You!
So please! Take a moment to say a prayer, and if God puts it on your heart, to donate a few bucks to assist our sister in Christ and one of my besties, Elijah!
