question..

Hello long lost friends! I hope each of you have had a wonderful Christmas and Holiday season.. It seems like it all came and went in a snap, I cannot believe next week it will be 2012.. it seems crazy to me!

So, I love this blog, and agreed to take it over because I honestly thought I would have more time to really keep it up.. and honestly I haven't had time to keep this or my personal blog up.. I haven't had a chance to blog hop or check in on anyone in a long time. So this is my question, for now is there anyone out in bloggy land that would care to take on updating now and then? I will still help whenever possible, but would LOVE to have someone that has time and willingness to assist...if so leave a comment here (with your email address) and I will email you with details..

Also I am going to try to update some of the lists while I have a few minutes..if you have any updates or want to add/remove/rename (i.e any changes) please let me know here in the comments..


~~~~~~~~~~~~ A few requests for now...

I did want to ask for some urgent prayer for 2 year old  Eli and his family. He became gravely ill on Christmas eve and has been fighting for his life..

Also pray for sweet Noah E and his family. He is on Hospice and is really struggling to hang on..pray for peace and comfort and healing for both of these families..

3/25/2011

Please pray for the Austin family as their sweet little baby Noah was born and passed only 19hrs later.Saying Hello and good bye at the same time, must be one of the hardest things a parent could do..

Emerson is also in need of prayer, what a little fighter they have!

Kate is getting radiation treatment, and is in need of prayer.

Morgan is undergoing new experimental treatment in California at the moment, Her mom Dasa is also 7 months pregnant, I know they certainly appreciate being lifted up in prayer. (this is a fb link, but open to anyone to view)

And my computer is freezing once again. I really am trying to keep up with the needs of those on the list and certainly appreciate any comment/emails being sent to me.. seems the 'web surfing' and page to page is too much for my old computer this week.. SO if you know of any urgent prayer requests, leave them here or email and I will post ASAP. I will try to get on the laptop tonight and get more through the lists..

A few added, thank you to those who brought these to my attention <3
22-month-old Nathan Phillips was put on Hospice yesterday and doctors say it's a matter of hours or days. He's been a fighter his whole life and has a precious precious precious family, including twin brother, Jacen.

This is Carla, she will be 4 on April 2, 2011, has HLHS and is currently on a vent and awaiting a new heart. Please pray for this little girl as well as her family.

Please add Ashley Kate to your prayer lists. She is in the hospital with an infection and her liver is not functioning as well as it should. pray for her liver to fight the infection and for her to go home soon.. no 5 year old enjoys sitting in a hospital..

A few requests for now ..

Please go send lots of love to sweet Veiyah, she had open heart surgery on Friday..she is such a fighter and needs all of the prayer and well wishes she can get ((also for her family, its so hard to see your baby fight))

Sadly Nina passed a day after her birthday. Please pray for her family during this time of loss..

Maggie's parents are checking into hospice for her. They also got some discouraging news that her son may have the same disease that is taking Maggie from them..

Be in prayer for Noah and his family, as they are planning and prayer for his safe arrival and for him to do well once he is out.


~I will edit in more this evening after bedtime for the baby :)

She has done such a great job of caring for this site and all of those listed on this site for a very long time. I am thankful that someone had placed our daughter Ella on here while we were fighting for her life. The prayers were certainly felt and appreciated.

One last post

To all Safe Haven readers,
I don't know how to say what is on my heart right now. Safe Haven has been such a part of my life for a long time now, and letting it go is hard. But it is time for me to pass the torch and move on. I believe the Lord has used this blog is huge ways, maybe even more than we can understand, and I believe it will only continue to touch many more. The power of prayer is miraculous. Thank you so much for checking in on the prayer requests posted here, and for praying. I am sorry that the last several months this blog has been neglected, but that is soon going to change. I am giving the blog over to my good friend Jen, that I actually met through this blog, and many of you have prayed for her. I thank her publicly for the help she has been lately, and for taking this on. God is moving me on to different things, so I ask for your prayers for that.
I will keep checking on these sweet families, and praying for them daily.
I just wanted to say goodbye, and thanks so much.
Blessings,
Christy
