Perspective and some Prayer

Have you ever heard a story and just felt the NEED to try and help, but you have no idea where to begin...

This afternoon, I called my Mom to ask her a simple question about my Dad's Father's Day gift, and my question was answered and the followed by a prayer request...


Do you remember the girl Brigid from Transfig's VBS two years ago that Anna just attached her self to? Yes, I said why? Well, my Mom continued to explain that her family is going through a lot of medical things...HORRIBLE medical things!

Brigid (a Senior in HS & almost 18yrs old) has a benign brain tumor and her brother, Jack (16yrs old) has been having severe head pain caused by arteries in his brain that are re-sectioning themselves(somewhere related to collagen growth- from what I understood)the issue is that any amount of stress, physical, emotional, stress any kind could cause these to burst - NOT GOOD!

I was pulled over on the side of the road when I had my first conversation with my Mom and Anna was with me so we both took a few minutes right then to PRAY for them and their family with the little information that I had. I then continued on my way with my errands all the while aching in my heart to want to help this family that I really never met.

After arriving back home with a piece of paper and pen in hand, I called my Mom again - I needed more details. So, I learned more about Jack and his family, Brian and Kathleen are Jack and Brigid's parents and Maggie (13 yrs old) and Sean (11yrs old) are their brother and sister. Jack will be going to the Cleavland Clinic on June 29th and I am hopeful that the Doctors there will have the wisdom and the resources to help Jack and his family.

Please pray with me for the strength and healing of Brigid and Jack. Lord please fill Brian and Kathleen with your STRENGTH, HOPE, PEACE, & LOVE as they walk with Jack through this difficult time. Please keep Maggie and Sean safe and help them feel your love & the love of their parents. God, you are an awesome God and you are the only one who can carry Jack and his family through this, with you all things are possible. AMEN!

"For with God nothing will be impossible." (Luke 1:37)

God has come through for me so many times, I am so blessed! I do want to do more to help this family...I will continue to pray to find a way that we can shine our little light on this family that is going through so much!
