For everything, a season

For everything there is a season under the sun.  A time to dance and a time to mourn....

I thought that tonight I would be writing in celebration of the amazing cupcake sales we had today for Sixty Feet.  And I will write about that (and post some fun pics) but not tonight.

Instead, I am beginning a season of fasting for a friend.
Tammy and Joel, my brother, were together for over 12 years.
Together, they had my precious nephew Ruben who is 8 years old.
After they split, Tammy had a daughter named Eryn.

She is three.

She is Ruben's sister and part of our family.

Yesterday, Eryn collapsed.
She has a brain bleed of some sort and the doctors say it is inoperable.
The doctors have said that she will not live.

But until GOD says that, I will not stop praising Him and speaking life into Eryn's body.
So tomorrow, I fast.
And pray.
Knowing that no matter what the doctors say -- on either side of the fence -- it's up to God anyway.

Please join me.

Update:  Eryn flew to Jesus this week after donating all of her available organs.  The whole thing is wrenching but God is in here somewhere.  Thank you for praying.
