Prayer requests

Hey all you prayer warriors out there, I have a few places to send you tonight to pray.

First, please go visit Savannah Swandal. She is one of our Vandy kids and has relapsed for the 3rd time with Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. She has another long fight ahead of her and can definitely use your prayers!!! Pop over to her page and leave a word of encouragement! I know her parents, Robin and Bruce will appreciate it!






If you have been around for awhile and have followed Kennedy's carepage, you may remember me talking about the Newbold Family. Their daughter Chloe who had Down syndrome, passed away from Leukemia while Kennedy was on treatment. Since then Rick and Kristy have gone on to adopt 2 children, John Paul and Dasha, with Down syndrome from the Ukraine. When they got home they took the children to be checked out by a doctor and Dasha is showing some signs that she may have the same type of Leukemia that Chloe did. I know this has to be so hard on Rick and Kristy. Please go visit and let them know you're praying. It's a hard, scary road.


Please keep all the families adopting right now in your prayers. We are all in various stages... some are SO close to being home, some are getting ready to travel soon, some are just starting out, and some, like us, are trying to fundraise, and finish up paperwork and cut through red tape as quickly as possible. No matter WHERE we are on our journey, we are always so grateful for your support and prayers.

Thank you for praying for all these very special families.

Couldn't believe when I read that about Dasha...
These words are so very special and full of comfort! Praying in Seattle!
John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

When I read Kristy's email I couldn't even imagine what they must be feeling. Prayers.

There are few things I love more than Reeces Rainbow blogs! I basically cry anytime a child gets a family. I am SUCH a sap.

Also, caring bridge says the site is down until 3 PM today. :-( But I'll stop by Savannah's page after it's back up. I love that name.

I have the Newbolds' blog in my Google Reader so believe me, I was already praying for them... so shocked to read their news. I am praying for Savannah and all adoptive families too. Gotta get those kids home!
