{Day 330}

14630_497292300293206_1346994252_nYes, I took a mini (and much needed) break from blogging but I’m back now.  I have good new and some very difficult news.  I’ll start with the good news first! Official update is now $70,730.14!  I’ll be setting a new goal soon…

Now for the post that I have been trying to formulate in my mind and just struggling with.  You see one of “my” sweet children, Hosanna, has leukemia.  I wrote about him here.  Since then he has only gotten worse with the different counts going up and down.  Last night I heard from my friend Paige in India and she said that Hosanna is coughing up blood and that the doctors have only given him 2 days to live.  Knowing that sends a knife straight to my heart and I wish that I could give my bone marrow or platelets to make him better.  He needs a miracle and I long to help.  And I can.  I can pray.  I can pray that God will heal him and I will.  If you are the praying type will you please join me?  Also please spread the word about this precious young boy.  He’s only ten.  Please pray for his mother and for his sister too.  As you can imagine this is incredibly painful and heart wrenching.  I will do my best to give you all updates as I get them.  Thank you!

    Oh my dear sweet Elaini-

    My heart hurts for you today. I am, and will continue to pray for Hosanna. We trust the loving hand of the Father, and praise God for His mercy in Hosanna’s life, whatever form that may take.

    Thank you for sharing with us all, so we can share in your burdens, and lift this little one up in prayer.

    Sweet Elaini,
    I can only imagine your worry for this dear little boy of yours. I will pray for Hosanna too, knowing that our God loves him so very much and is holding him near to His heart.
    Love you!

      I do not worry since I know he is held in the arms of Jesus but my heart is grieved. Thank you for your prayers and for caring. It means so much to me. I love you too! xoxo

    Sweet God and creator of all,
    Jesus has the power to heal! If it be His will, for you love the children so much, please Lord, heal this child Hosanna! Allow the child to sing of your salvation. Hosanna to You! Allow your glory to come across no matter what the outcome. You care so much!
    Amen.

    Oh how casually we can live out our days, forgetting that every breath is a gift from God. Thank you for sharing this update on Hosanna, and allowing us the opportunity to join in prayer. May God be glorified.
