A Heavy Burden...

Well, I decided that I'm gonna start something new and blog. We'll see how this goes for a while.

Here lately, I've had a pretty heavy burden on my heart for a certain indivudial whom I met during the Summer Months at a Children's Camp this past year. I hesitated for a while about going because I really didn't know what to expect... This guy is a diagnosed Hemophiliac who's lived pretty much his entire life with this disease. If you don't know what Hemophilia is, it's a blood disorder that if not treated and you receive an injury with an open wound, you can bleed to death. As the hours and days progressed, I slowly learned a little more about him and his family. To make a long story short, I'd made an amazing new friend in this guy. He'd talked about his little son whom he absolutely loved and adored and then let all the kids and myself know that he and his wife were expecting a new baby soon down the road. We were all excited for him and his family.

Well, after camp was over we lost contact for a few weeks then I ended up getting back in touch with him and his family and found out that on August 4th 2009 his wife gave birth a few months early to a baby girl... This child was soon after birth diagnosed with down syndrome and things started to spiral downhill for them. This family has kept such an amazingly positive attitute over the past several months that I know this baby girl is going to continue to grow and be healthy beyond more ways than this family could ever imagine... I'd like to ask that you keep them in your prayers if possible and lift up their baby girl, Kelsey... I know that they would definately appreciate it. Check out their website if you get a chance...
