Yesterday I helped to take care of one of my heroes. She's six years old. She has been battling cancer for about half of her life. She has a great smile, and she shared one with me yesterday, even through her suffering. She usually welcomes people into her hospital room by stretching her arms out to receive a hug. She gives great hugs. Even though she is suffering much right now (I will spare you the details), she gracefully does everything she is asked to do. Even when she doesn't like it. Even when it hurts. Did I mention she is only 6 years old?? She says "Thank you" in her sweet little voice when I bring her a popsicle or some more ice to put on her little belly. She is beautiful. She is one of my heroes.
Lord, I pray for the life of my sweet little friend. I pray for physical healing for her. I pray for Your tangible presence to comfort her in her suffering. I pray for Your abundant peace to reign over her and her family. Lord, let Your Kingdom come.

About Me:
I am a single Southern girl who loves Jesus. I am a nurse to kids with cancer, and I love my job. I consider flip-flops appropriate for nearly every day of the year. I love my family. I love to laugh, and I cry nearly every time that I do. I love to discover the beauty of God's Creation, and I hope to be able to see much more of it in my lifetime. I often speak Spanish in everyday conversation, even if the other person doesn't. I love a good cup of coffee and a good conversation with a friend. I make really good chocolate chip cookies. I love holding babies, and I hope that God blesses me with some of my own one day. I think that mint chocolate chip ice cream (the white kind) is one of God's gifts to me.
