SHE'S A MATCH...

Our prayers are answered. Oscar's mom is a match.

Now time to get started on the next phase. I will need to send them more money in the morning to get the next set of blood work done and then they will do the surgery.

Please pray this process is quick and easy and most important that Oscar's body will not reject the kidney.

I praise God for his provisions and his blessings on Oscar's life. I have committed I will do all I can to make sure Oscar tells his testimony to all. Pray this family will draw closer and closer to the Lord through all this.

Continue praying....

Pray the doctors have great wisdom with the decisions they are going to make Pray for the mom and her body as it goes through losing a kidney Pray for the family as this is a big responsibility for them to have especially when they have no money Pray for Oscar to be strong enough to handle all the procedures he will endure soon Pray for me to raise all the needed money needed to help them Praise God for his everlasting, faithfulness

Thanks to all for your help..

Tick, Tock... Tick, Tock..

Have you ever had to wait on something and you had to watch the clock? There is nothing more annoying than the sound of an old timer clock going tick, tock, tick, tock while you are waiting for it to hit a specific hour.

I can remember growing up and my aunt had a clock that made a sound none stop. It use to drive me nuts some days. I can still hear that sound in my head.

Well the clock is ticking for me again and for Oscar.

We got the blood test done for him and his mom and we are waiting minute by minute now for the test results. They said two weeks and Monday will be two weeks. I have learned with Nicaragua two weeks could mean 1 day to 1 month so I find myself each day hearing that clock ticking in my head knowing that Oscar's time is running out.

The doctor has told us that if Mom is a match Oscar is on the surgery schedule for this month and could have a new kidney before I come back home from Nicaragua. How amazing that will be.

I am also having to deal with how I will feel if she is not a match. I trust the Lord with all my heart but I can say this has been the hardest waiting period I have had to go through I think ever.

What is God teaching me through all this? I keep asking please don't make this a learning experience for me. Going through this is hard enough. No trials No Testimony God says.. I don't think His humor is as funny as He thinks it is. :)

Please pray for the doctors offices to get this test done as soon as possible. The longer it takes the longer and harder Oscar's body is struggling.

I have been selling raffle tickets day after day. If you want one it's not too late. $1 can win you $100 dollars. Better odds than LOTTO and all the money goes back into the kingdom.

I am trusting God because I know that Time does not control God, He controls TIME. He can stop the world from functioning right now if he wants. I trust He loves Oscar enough to do just that if he needs Him too.

I'll keep you post, you keep praying.

Thanks and God Bless..

PS.. Please pray for one of my faithful readers, prayer warrior and friend Glenda Parker. She had open heart surgery this week and needs God's healing power to touch her body so her recovery time will be much shorter.

Prayer for Oscar

My little Oscar has been in the hospital again for the past three weeks. He had a tube in his kidney to drain infection for several months and it got infected back in October. They removed it hoping he could do ok without it but that is not the case so they have put it back this month. The problem is because of the dirty environment he is in it does not take much to get it infected. Pray that does not happen.

Additionally, we were called last week telling us they are testing the mother for a kidney transplant match finally. I was so excited to hear the prison had finally allowed her to be test until I got another call stating the cost of the test were going to be $590.

Where is a woman who is in prison going to come up with kind of money? That is a normal Nicaraguan's 2 year salary.

I have prayed and prayed about how I am to help in this situation and God has said it's not for me to help this time. I have already spent 1,000's helping Oscar and thought but God I can't stop now but I'm clear what he has told me.

So instead I write to you to ask you to pray for my little Oscar. Pray God sends his family this money through what ever means is in His plans. I have given Oscar to the Lord, He loves him more than I do. I have to trust He is working this out.

If you feel led to help this family reach this goal I will pay to wire the money there. I know God has great plans for this little boy, He will have an amazing testimony of how he cheated death many many times.

Please add him to your prayer list at your church. He is in desperate need of an new kidney soon.

Lift my little Oscar up in prayer daily. It breaks my heart to know he is sick all the time. He loves life and loves his family but most importantly Loves the Power Rangers. :)

God Bless, Angie

One Major Project Down, many more to go...

I have been so busy lately I don't know if I was coming or going. Between working two jobs, getting ready for the yard sale, getting my house ready for out of town guests and not to mention my oldest son Jordon graduated from high school on Friday night and afterwards we had a celebration. If it was not for my friend Tammy Dixon the night would not have gone over so great. I owe you girl... Just name it, I'll do it for you.

Needless to say my life has been somewhat busy for the last couple of weeks. Praise God all for great things.

The yard sale went "ok". To be honest not a lot of people came and I ended up with more stuff in my garage than I started with thanks to donations from other people. I think I'm going to try it again in June sometime. We raised $300 which is badly needed for trophies and banquet stuff for my soccer tournament.

Anyone interested in joining me for another sale in June? The more we have the more people we attract.

I have been on the phone a lot with my team in Nicaragua and plans are being made for the tournament. They are so excited they can hardly stop talking about it long enough to get decisions made. I am as much excited about it knowing the joy they have already.

The garden project is going well. They have been transplanting bedding plants for the last week. The rain has started already and has been severe at times causing delays in getting things going. The training guy Evert tells me very week they are working hard. It's great progress. For years they have had nothing to work toward and now they are working on a garden everyday. What great fulfillment.

I now have a team of 6 headed to Nicaragua on July 23rd. I will be taking two of my sons this trip and I'm so excited to introduce missions to Logan. There is still time for people to go. The cost is going to run right at $1,000 unless airfare has gone up. The longer you wait the more the airfare will cost. If you have been thinking about going, this trip will be a great one to participate in.

Please pray for our team and for things going on in Nicaragua. I have already had great opposition and changes to our plans. The enemy does not want things to go well for us I can tell already. When I see issues this soon I know God has great things in store for us. Please cover us in prayer now and until we return.

I have 3 equipment drives going on now to collect gloves, balls and bats. If you can help I would be grateful. Ask your neighbors, your friends who have teens that play baseball if they have any gloves, balls or cleats they would like to donate. I need size 7 1/2 -10 adult size cleats and 11 1/2 and up size gloves.

I am still looking for great thing to give away at the banquet as door prizes.

I am also in need of one of those large sling shots. I want to shoot t-shirts to the crowds during the breaks in the soccer tournament. If you have one I can borrow I promise to bring it back.

I appreciate all the support for what I do. Lately the Lord has shown me how he has orchestrated my life thus far to put great people in it to help me accomplish His will for my life. You are in it for a much bigger reason than just being my friends..

God Bless Everyone..
