Zofran warning!

This week there was breaking news about a new risk found with Zofran, the anti-nausea med often prescribed to pregnant moms, children, and chemo patients.

Dear Lisa Who Won't Be Ignored

I hope and pray you got my text so you'll see this message.  We met just over an hour ago in the parking lot. We both know it was no accident. When you got dressed this morning and chose your shirt, you probably didn't know it was all part of the grand plan to bring us together today :)


I know it can be hard to believe, particularly at a time like this, but what I told you today was a message meant for you at that exact moment and that exact place.   And what you told me, about never having been a certain place ever before, was a message meant for me at that exact moment and that exact place. I believe that with all my heart.


This is a turning point for you.  I'll be praying for you - that God will infuse you with His wisdom, His healing light and love, and show you the path He wants you to walk.


Please keep in touch, my new friend. And, if you lose my contact info and need or want to reach me, you can always call over to the NorthPark Community Church and ask them for my number.  


Hugs and blessings to you! xoxo 
Julie

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

Dear warrior sisters,
Don't give up. Trust in the Lord. He has a magnificent purpose for your life. Ask Him, and listen for His answers. Be an instrument for Him and all else will fall into its rightful place. 

With love, and gratitude for every breath I take, 
Julie
