DecJoMo 16: prayer request for a sick child

Today's prompt was for another picture of me......but I can't do it.

My heart is heavy for a precious precious little girl right now.


Her name is Hannah, and she's 10.
She started coughing and running fever yesterday.
She's got the flu AND pneumonia.
She didn't respond to treatments.
They flew her by chopper to Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock.
Her lungs were 3/4 full of fluid.
They put her on artificial heart and lungs to give her body a rest while they pumped out her blood and cleansed it so they could put it back in.
She was so very critical last night...not sure she'd pull through.

As of about 1am, she was stable, but still critical.
That's the latest news I have on her.

Hannah is the daughter friends here in my town.
Her mother and I were in Junior Auxiliary together for 3 years.
Hannah is a member of the Crown Club...the group we started for JA daughters who wanted to serve our community. I was her leader.

She gave her life to Christ 2 years ago and is the most precious, sweet little girl.
She has a younger brother named Matthew.

My heart is breaking as I await more news.

If you pray at all, please please remember this child and lift her and her family up in prayer. They need it so much.

I cannot imagine what they are feeling right now...their child so sick. I pray I never have to.
I pray peace, strength, and comfort for them, and healing for Hannah.
Our God is a mighty God and can do miraculous things.
I pray He will this time, too.

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
