At around 11:30 I got Jude ready for a "quick" outing. When I closed the door to our apartment I immediately realized I didn't have my keys. Dan was in a long meeting and wasn't coming home for lunch until after 1:00. So, Jude and I sat (for nearly two hours) on the back porch, and I immediately thought, "Lord, you interrupted my life to remind me that I need to pray for Alivia." So, that is how I spent my time on the porch! I'm thankful that God goes to such great lengths to have us do what really matters.<BR/><BR/>Love you!<BR/>JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21221250.post-1159295424825115472006-09-26T14:30:00.000-04:002006-09-26T14:30:00.000-04:00Oh Emily,How kind of you to think of our three arr...Oh Emily,<BR/>How kind of you to think of our three arrivals to be when you are going through all of this.

Not only for healing for Alivia but for rest for all of you!<BR/><BR/>As for the drives. While they are open to the public, they are minority based drives. I guess there is funding for minorites to get tested and put in the registry since there is such an under-representation. So non-profits like CLLF go out and help recruit people to register. They don't have funds for non-minorities. (except maybe 3-4 people/drive?) So, all minorities can come to our drive, but non-minorities have to do as you said and register through places like CBB. But again, as you said, the fee can be waived at most places if you are willing to donate a pint of blood. I know it sounds like a kind of backwards prejudice, doesn't it? Sorry about that.<BR/><BR/>God bless!<BR/>:)KarenJoe.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560689263636652683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21221250.post-1159287746161102952006-09-26T12:22:00.000-04:002006-09-26T12:22:00.000-04:00praying, praying, praying...God has been placing A...praying, praying, praying...<BR/><BR/>God has been placing Alivia on my mind so much (more) this week.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness." -2 Peter 3:8-9<BR/><BR/>If you can fully wrap your mind around the nuances of this concept, then you are surely a smarter folk than I. However, I think it's relevant to your/(our) situation in that I know I can sometimes think, "Gee whiz, we've (a giant amount of people) been praying about this for <I>this</I> amount of time, and still Livi is not improving." But all the promises of God we read and are encouraged through are not dependent on some human-ordained timetable. They are simply always true, and "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise."<BR/><BR/>I'm praying for all of you. love, andrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
