So many terrible tragedies have happened over the past week and I just feel the need to ask for your prayers.
First, for the victims in Moore, OK- only about two hours from where we live. The damage i'm sure is unspeakable,a nd I just feel awful for those families and individuals that have lost loved ones, their homes, and their belongings.
Yesterday afternoon, I picked up the girls early, because MC was a little sick at daycare. G was scheduled to have gymnastics at 4, but because MC didn't feel well, we decided to skip G's last day of gymnastics. DJ called me and requested that the girls and I came to the football offices rather than going home. The path of the storm looked as if it were headed straight for Tulsa. So, I went home and grabbed diapers, tylenol (for MC) and pajamas since I wasn't sure how long we would be at the offices. DJ went across the street and grabbed us Subway for dinner.
We got to football around 45 minutes later, and parked our cars under the bleachers in case of hail and went inside. The girls enjoyed playing in daddy's office and we ate our dinner. Thankfully, MC started to feel better, and we realized the storms were either going north and west of Tulsa, or south and east of Tulsa. It's like the storms totally split to miss Tulsa.
We headed home around 6:30, gave the girls a bath, put them to bed, and settled into our nightly routine.
I'm still just devestated for all of the children and people that lost their lives.
One way you can help is by texting REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to disaster relief.
I'm also donating 20% of my sales this week to the RedCross. Go here to take a look at my ready to ship hair accessories for your honey pie!
I'm also asking for prayers for Z. Biggs. He is one of TU's football GA's and has been in the hospital with three blood clots. He has been put on blood thinners and was discharged yesterday, but is in a lot of pain, and the blood thinners weren't completely working at that point in time. One of them was near his lungs.
Please pray for Ellie H. She is a sorority sister of mine- a pledge class a year below me- and was admitted to the hospital over the weekend in serious condition to a dissected vertebral artery. You can go here to read more about Ellie. She is still in serious condition, but making slow gains. She had a stroke, and has had a few mini seizures, but is responding to commands.
I have several sorority sisters working together to put on a fundraising 5K for Ellie in the Little Rock area, and i'll bring you that information as it becomes available! We will be looking for sponsors though, so if you know of a business or you have a business and would like to sponsor, please let me know and I can pass on your information!
Finally, pray for Lyndsey T. I don't know her personally, but i've followed her story loosely, and I have several college friends who know Lyndsey. She and her husband have adopted children, and I believe they have one biological child and they found out that Lyndsey has cancer. She was doing well, but her levels are increasing, and they've found that the hormone therapy is no longer effective. She's going for a scan this morning, so pray for strength. To read more about Lyndsey go here.
If you have other prayer request please let me know. I'm so thankful for the blessings that God has given my family, but my heart aches for these individuals.
