Praying For Friends

Yesterday I got sick to my stomach.

One of my sisterchicks (who shall remain nameless for now…until I ask her if she wants her name plastered on the world-wide-ohamanda) got some bad news at a doctor’s appointment. And I don’t know if my thirty-something-ness just hit me in the face at that point or what, but I felt so old. I’ve been friends with my sisterchicks since I was FOUR. That’s almost the same age as my Lydia. And even now as I’m typing I’ve got tears in my eyes because I love them so much.

I’m ready to do battle against this (alleged) diagnosis, but who would have thought when we were in 3rd grade and bouncing around the church van on the way to summer camp that this would be our future?

Then, when I got home, I got another email from my bbbf, Val. She has had some huge physical battles this year—full of questions and disappointments. She’s been diagnosed just these past few weeks with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Sjogren’s Syndrome, Hypothyroidism AND Firbromyalgia. Are you kidding me?! She’s a young, vibrant mama!

But there’s even more—Val just found out she’s pregnant. Which is a miracle. An absolute miracle. But imagine what you’d be thinking if you were preggo with these new diseases plastered on your file. Yup. That’s exactly what Val is thinking, too.

So, I’ve got a few requests. First PRAY. Pray for healing. I believe it so strongly that God heals. I believe He desires good for us.  And I believe He acts when we pray.

Secondly, if you’ve got any experience with the above diseases please click over to Val’s blog and give her some encouragement. I know she’d love it.

I’ll be keeping you updated on both of my dear sweet friends as the weeks go on. Because if the internet is not one big giant prayer chain, I don’t know what is!

    Amanda, I will be praying for both of your friends! Please keep us posted on how they are doing! I don’t have PCOS (we have unexplained infertility) but I do have a great website that has ladies who do have that and they offer great support/encouragement – I will head over to Val’s blog and give her the website!!

    Natural Sex Pills For Men are a highly potent mix of all natural ingredients including herbs and other nutrients that not only increase blood flow to the penis but also helps enhance testosterone levels in your body. Another very important aspect they work upon is the nitric oxide production in your body. Such pills boost nitric oxide levels in blood which allows blood vessels to dilate resulting in increased blood flow to the erectile tissue. This ensures harder and stiffer erections.An increasing number of women are now opting for Sex Pills For Women that can help them enjoy more fulfilling sex. Such pills not only help boost sex drive or libido in women but also help them overcome other sexual enhancement such as vaginal dryness.Some of the herbs and natural ingredients used in such pills include ginseng, black cohosh, epimedium sagittatum, ginger root, licorice root, damiana, tribulus terrestris, red raspberry, melatonin, niacin etc.
