Prayers

Last night, my grandmother lost consciousness, came to and went into convulsions, then lost consciousness again. While Mama was calling an ambulance, I held her and called her name, fearing the whole time she had died. She regained consciousness in the hospital last night had a battery of tests today. It seems she was tired from all the celebrations recently, dehydrated, and had had wine for lunch at the church Christmas feast, all of that overwhelming her. She’s fine now and will be coming home tomorrow. Praise God.

There have been two sudden departures to heaven among friends’ families this week. Next time you pray, please pray the families will be comforted. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

A very close friend of mine, 3 months pregnant, has been bleeding heavily the last 3 days and will go to the hospital tomorrow to confirm whether or not she’s had a miscarriage. She’s a lovely, quiet woman who was expecting her last baby. Please, please beg God to allow the baby to live and grow up in this cheerful, loving, staunchly Christian home.

Update: My friend’s baby is in heaven now with my baby brother or sister I never met.

With the outpouring of Christmas love for the last week or more, I’ve been getting pictures of my friends’ babies pouring into my inbox. It makes me really happy to see such beautiful creatures. Last night, my friend lost her baby and it hurts.

Especially after Thailand, I wonder, why does God take away babies from good, godly, loving families and give babies to families who sell them into prostitution?

Leave your mark.
