I have a prayer request for my 4 year old niece, Rachel. She was extremely ill last week (I only found out yesterday)and was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. My brother, his wife and 6 kids, live in a very rural town and she had to be taken by helicopter to a big city hospital, as she was critical. She's home now and they are trying to stabilize her. I want us to pray for a complete healing for this sweet little girl. Also a big concern is money. My brother has not been working much and they have no insurance. He refuses gov't. assistance and the helicoptor bill is $ 14K and the hospital bill is over $ 7K. The insulin and testing supplies are pretty expensive, too. They are a very simple, hardworking family. They homeschool and home church and have a food co-op. I'm going to try to sell some things for him on ebay and as soon as my building lot sells, I should be able to send him some $. Hopefully, their community will pitch in, too. They've been living there for almost 2 years. Thanks, my faithful prayer warriors!!! [ April 14, 2006, 11:32 AM: Message edited by: Bluebird ]

Dear Bluebird: I'm praying for Rachel as I write. It is sad to see such a young life facing uncertainty and troubles! But children are very important to the Lord. I know he will be her doctor, her comforter, her strengthener.
I also pray for all the family, as illness takes a toll on each one involved. I pray they find help in the community, church and one another!
Dotsie, that's sp sweet of you to be their online pal! I'm sure it will be a blessing to them all!

Thanks, ladies!! I spoke to my SIL yesterday and they are getting my niece stabilized. My brother and his wife are very much into organic foods, herbs, essential oils and nutirition in general. Their neighbors have been coming through for them and people are helping with money. They are totally trusting God, which is what I knew they'd do, once the intitial shock wore off. God will be glorified through this sweet child and her whole family.

You all are the BEST!! I keep telling everyone that I have the most awesome prayer warriors. I knew a woman years ago, whose mom had a prayer chain that was called The God Squad - think I'll call y'all God Squad II. (((HUGS)))
