The Avalanche

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amazed.  Humbled.  Overwhelmed. 

What do those words even mean? 

 

I could quote Webster's definition.  But that doesn't do it. Those words can't

convey the depth of emotions I feel.

I have used those words daily this week but I just realized that nothing,

absolutely nothing, can define the depth of feelings that are behind those
words. The support I have received feels like an avalanche has started and it
just keeps accelerating .... and I have lost control. I am that little rock at
the top that just pushed one tiny snow flake out of my way and everything came
tumbling down.

And ME ... doing a blog?  How preposterous. I just wanted a way to ask for prayers.

Well, social media here I am, amateur blog and all.  But it has reconnected me
with people from 40, well ok, 50 years ago. Now how uncanny is that?  Dear
friends, I just know that prayers DO work ... and I covet those prayers.   So I
googled  'How To Do A Blog' and step by step, here we are.

Specifically, my prayer requests this week:

1.  I want to go to the committee on Tuesday ...

It will be a challenge to get all the testing done that is required, but I
am being rather pushy about that. I think they have nicknamed me 'Nagging
Nancy'. The  committee only meets once per week and I want to be in that
presentation before the holidays. They look through all my tests and make
the determination as to whether I qualify to be the recipient of someone's
precious lungs.  Hurdles keep popping up in unexpected places, but so far,
we have been able to jump them all. 

2.  I want a yes from that committee ...

I am at a stage where anything other than yes will be terrifying, so all we
think about is a  Y.E.S.

3.  I want to remember ...

I want to always remember the family that will be heartbroken.


Thank you ALL for your thoughts and prayers....
Nancy
