prayers please
my lola in the philippines is sick... she fell, broke her hip. but she's 85 years old, so it's too dangerous for her to undergo surgery. so the doctors just said, she'll just have to go through therapy. but she hardly walks around to begin with, so how would she be able to go through therapy? and she's got alzheimer's too, which i think got worse since the trauma of the broken hip. we're rushing to go home while she can still remember us (hopefully). leaving sunday for 10 days. short trip for $1100. but what can you do for short notice... *sigh* please pray for the health of my lola. and if it's God's will to take her at this time or anytime soon, may it be a peaceful one, surrounded by the love of her family.

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."

"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
