more prayers are needed...

doing Christmas Is A Child, God has led me to many things and many people...

encouragingly brave, strong and soulful people...

who have been walking through their trials here below...

I want to share this one story with you...

a mother called me last week...

was it ok for her to come to get toys for her daughters?

oh, yes, I said...

a couple of others had mentioned her name to me...

she was born with her skull being too small...

the pressure is intense...

the pain...

she just got back home, to her mother's home, the first of the week...

surgery in Chicago...

to remove part of the skull and to work on the vertebra in her neck...

her boyfriend, by her side...

holding her hand, taking care of her...

yesterday afternoon, he was deer hunting...

he fell 15 foot out of the stand...

laid there for hours, but another hunter found him...

lifeline copter flew him out of there...

broke his back, ribs and wrist...

the doctor says he will never walk again...

there are several vertebra involved, in the T section, so that's lower...

there are surgeries to go through...

she cannot be by his side...

she is still recovering from her surgery...

she was supposed to meet us up there today to get gifts for her 2 girls...

I told her we will take care of it...

I have an elf who knows her and her kids...

she will do the picking for her...

she is a child of the king...

during her hospitalizations, she has been ministering to others...

she has fed the hungry from her own hospital tray, sending food down to those on the streets...

she is heart broken and weary...

she needs prayers for her healing and his...

and for peace in her soul...

for her tears are full of pain...

physical pain is one thing, but soul pain is so much more...

its the soul pain she needs prayer for the most...

she is trying to lean on Him...

she is learning to trust Him more and more as each day unfolds... 

He has great plans for this one...

there is a reason, its not in vain...

and God will see her through it all and bring her out the other side...

stronger, better and more faithful...

he is molding her...

to expand His kingdom...

prayers from us, lift up those who are crawling...
her name is Lori...

lift her up...

lift him up...

to Him the glory forever and ever, amen...
