Good morning, friends!
Matthew 10:27—What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.
Yesterday, I was pondering this verse as I awoke and wrote a prayer to the Lord in response:
I love this verse, Lord, and the picture it paints in my heart--You, Lord, speak to me in the darkness, don't You? But You are not a far off God Who speaks from Your high place in heaven while I am alone down here trembling in the dark. You don't blast some ethereal edict through a spiritual loudspeaker hoping to be heard over the din and roar of the raging storm or the noisy crowd. No, You are not far off when I am in the dark. You, Lord, are right beside me, close enough to whisper in my ear. Now that is close! Whisper, Lord, whisper. Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening. I will boldly speak in the daylight what You have told me in this darkness. I will proclaim from the rooftops what You have whispered in my ear!
This morning Mackenzie will have her first opportunity to speak in the daylight what Jesus has whispered in her ear in the dark! She and her friend, Nick Napier, who has the same conditions Mackenzie has, will speak in Chapel at Oakbrook at 11:40 this morning.
Please be praying for them, as neither of them seeks attention for themselves; their only desire is to honor the Lord and bring awareness of Ehlers-Danlos to our community.
Please also pray that the hearts of the students will be open to hearing about God’s grace and mercy, and if even one does not know our God of hope through faith in Jesus Christ that today would be the day they surrender to His love.
Thank you again for praying . . . Tomorrow evening I will post pictures of the Zebra Run and prom!
Love,
Lisa

Contact CASA for a ramp. They made my daughter's ramp several years ago. It costs nothing. I think I made them lunch or breakfast.
My daughter also has Chiari 1 and Ehler Danlos. We are friends with the Napiers.
My daughter has the Vascular form and has two dissections at 10 years old. Her vein valves do not work properly either. I am glad you are getting help.
I am so glad I was able to be at our chapel service to hear Mackenzie and Nick.
Mackenzie is so brave and humble and the love of Christ truly shines through her. What an inspiration she is already at such a young age. Her willingness to be used by God is so beautifully obvious and I am sure He will bless her for that.
I will continue to pray for her even more often than I have before. Thank you for coming to talk to all of us about this journey you are on.
Love you,
Susan Garrison
