Another well needed prayer request for another family...

This is a post from Isaac Leino's mom (his blog is referenced on my prayer list).

Join Us In Prayer!
Over the course of this past year, Jordan & I have been overwhelmingly blessed by your driven prayer support on behalf of our Isaac & our entire family. Countless times, we saw the mighty hand of God intervene on Isaac's behalf & our aching hearts finding indescribable comfort...much of which we attribute to His loving response to so many prayers for us. Thank you! We have come to value & cherish your prayer support.

Now, we come to you on behalf of another precious family - living for & wholeheartedly loving our mighty God - who are in need desperate need of our prayers & support.

Nathan & Tricia Lawrenson are friends of ours from Liberty. Nathan & Jordan both studies Worship Ministry together, while Tricia & I were both in Religious Studies. Nathan currently serves as the Worship Pastor for Nags Head Church & Tricia has faithfully served in the children's & youth ministry. They are a precious, amazing couple w/a passion for God, a love for people, & a zeal for life.

Tricia was born w/Cystic Fibrosis & has spent her life in & out of hospitals for breathing treatments, physical therapy, etc. She has had increasing complications of late. In the fall, she was placed on the double lung transplant list as her lungs are growing increasingly worse & beginning to fail. However, in September, major complications came into play as they learned Tricia was pregnant. She no longer qualifies for the transplant at this time. Doctors told them the "smartest" choice would be to abort. But they boldly chose life & trusted that God makes no mistakes, He is fully aware of the timing of it all & gave them this baby. Her pregnancy completely removes her candidacy for the much-needed double lung transplant. As her pregnancy progresses, their baby girl presses up more & more on Tricia's lungs, making it even more difficult for her to breathe. Tricia has now developed gestational diabetes as well. She is as high risk as you can get! Nathan's blog explains it all concisely in his most recent post: CFHusband.Blogspot.Com

Please join Jordan, myself, & thousands of others as we pray for & support this precious family. Both the CF & the pregnancy are threatening Tricia life, as she is permanently living at Duke for the time being. Nathan does an awesome job at keeping the blog update on Tricia's condition & all that is happening. Tricia has a website as well: http://www.65roses4pattysue.com/ Thank you for joining us in praying for the Lawrensons. They are so precious & have chosen to praise God through every step of this journey.
