Cards for Elizabeth

UPDATE:

Elizabeth came through surgery with flying colors. There is evidence that it was successful and that it will give her a much better quality of life without the horrible headaches she has suffered from her whole life. God is good. God does hear and answer our prayers. Thank you for your prayers and your cards!

Dear sweet readers,

I am coming to you again with a request for prayer. However, unlike the request for prayers for Stellan (which by the way worked visit http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ to see how he is doing), this is a prayer request that touches our family personally.

My sweet 16 year old cousin, Elizabeth Harrell, is undergoing brain surgery Monday, May 4th. She has a condition where her skull is too small, thus pushing her brain stem into her spinal column. During her surgery, they will actually cut out a piece of her skull to allow her "growing" room.

Elizabeth is a beautiful vibrant 16 year old. She loves animals and hanging out with her friends. My dad has always loving called her "Sally".

Her family is an amazing strong Christian family. Their faith runs strong and deep. They are asking for prayers everyday at 12pm from now until the surgery.

When I think back to high school and all the struggles I went through, I can't imagine adding the anxiety of brain surgery to the mix. Elizabeth should be worried about what dress to wear to her prom (which is on Saturday before the the surgery), not about an upcoming surgery.

In order to encourage Elizabeth, we are setting out to get 1,000 cards sent to her. They don't need to be long winded....just a simple praying for you will do.

Could you spare a few minutes and a stamp? Could you take some time out of your busy life to uplift a sweet Christian teenager?

Her address is Elizabeth Harrell
216 Timberbrook Trail
State Road, NC 28676

Please spread the word and let's get 1,000 cards to Elizabeth!!!

Prayer is powerful!!!

Thank you so much!
