Pray for a sweet girl

I have in just in the last year met a very special family.  They have become friends and family to me.  Right now they have a 5 month old adopted daughter who has hydrocephalus (water on the brain).  She is in the hospital right now due to 2 subdural hematomas (one which has drained and one that has to drain).  It looks like she will be going into surgery Tuesday morning (possibly, depends on some tests that they run first).  Hopefully they will be able to to drain the hematoma and fix the shunts.  Please pray for this sweet little girl.
Thanks!

For more information and pictures, please read her mommy's blog: http://allarepreciousinhissight.blogspot.com/

Friends that have never met

Back in January, I was invited to join a special group on facebook.  That group, Boss Your Heart Bible Challenge 2011, led me to a special young lady from Australia.  Although we are not close in age, our hearts speak alike.  We want to help children who have no family of their own whether it is from death or desertion  due illnesses the children have or something like Down Syndrome.  We have never met in person, but she is very special to me.  She is very much a sister to me even though we are not related.  I had the chance to help another young girl in a local church near where I live buy some necklaces she made for a fundraiser at her school where half the profits went to the school and half went to a local organization.  Her choice was H.E.L.P (Helping End Local Poverty-Haiti).  I bought some of my friends necklaces as well as one for myself.  I had was really excited for my friend in Australia get to open her package and it was so much fun to see her face on skype when she opened it.  Taylah, please enjoy your necklace.
Thanks!
