Hello everyone. I just got word today that a very dear friend of mine is flying into Houston on Tuesday to have a consultation with a doctor about getting a defibrillator in her heart, and getting put on the heart transplant list. She's not even 40 yet, and has a newborn baby girl (born in May or June) and a 5 year old son at home. I guess her husband is flying with her. I know you don't know her, but every little bit helps, so please keep her in your thoughts.
Love,
Naddya, CPhT(R)

I'm in TX but there are still many miles between me and Houston. Prayers know NO boundaries though. I have little ones myself and I identify with her. My heart will continually lift her up to the Lord for healing.
With Him we "live" no matter the circumstances. At His feet peace of mind can be found. Peace that passes all understanding is my quest now and forever.

Numbers 6:24-26
"The LORD bless you and keep you;the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."

Of course. The power of prayer is truly awesome as we've all witnessed so many times before.

God bless her and her family. Yes, they, and you will be added to my prayers. My heart goes out to them.

I read a great quote in a book once "Facing Adversity with Faith". An old man goes to a cardiologist for a diagnosis. The doctor said 75% of people with this condition die within a year. the man looked at him and said confidently: "I AM PART OF THE 25% OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE."

Tell your friend to keep positive and that she should think like that old man - SHE'S PART OF THE 25% OF PEOPLE WHO WILL LIVE.

I am praying for her speedy recovery.
