I’m asking for prayers for our 32-yr-old pregnant daughter who suffered a stroke from clots in the brain a week ago. It has been a very difficult week of ups and downs, but mostly downs.
Last night her brain was swelling again, clots were reforming and getting bigger and bleeding was increasing, so they took her in for a second surgery to remove the clots, which was a successful surgery. But then her brain started swelling too much overnight so they made the decision to remove the left half of her skull to give her brain room to expand. Now it’s a waiting game.
Our Kaylie has a 2 1/2 yr old daughter at home who loves her mommy very much. Plus, I can’t imagine life without my eldest daughter, whom I love more than words can express. We believe in the power of prayer, so please join us in asking our Heavenly Father for the brain swelling to go down, for the clots and bleeding to stop and for Kaylie to wake up and recover fully.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
@gal_red11250 Praying!! Sweet Heavenly Father, you say if we have the faith of a grain of mustard seed we can move mountains. There is no doubt you can heal this precious Mom!! Please Jesus, heal her body!! I believe You can!!! Thank you for healing her in Your timing!!
@anfal00_5 Totally wear that dress!!! It is gorgeous!!! I would have loved to been able to wear my Mom’s dress. Our bodies were very different and her dress had yellowed!!
A few practices that have increased my joys on here and decreased my entanglements in useless debates in case any of these are helpful:
* I completely ignore insults and foolishness from people who don’t show their actual faces. (I get why some people don’t want their picture on here. I’m talking about insulting individuals who hide behind, for example, Martin Luther’s picture or a cartoon character.) Some of you are arguing with accounts that only exist to get you to stay on here. Look on their pages and see if they leave any evidence of their real selves besides a bio. Is there anything identifiable in their feed? City where they live in or where they work? Anything personal or non-platforming about them? If not, you’re engaging with a fake. If they can track you down but you can’t track them down, they’re suspect.
*As for those who are clearly real but post outrageous things (like women shouldn’t get a vote), except for rare occasions, I don’t engage them nor circulate screenshots of them. Why? Because they want us to. They want to build their platforms and get attention. Even negative attention keeps people active on their pages. It’s like a really outrageous tv series we can’t look away from because we can’t believe people are really like that. Don’t let these jokers on here use you to get notoriety. That’s what they’re after.
*I stick with people I enjoy or learn from or with whom I share interests or with those who differ with me but in good faith.
* I can’t deal with people who constantly rant even if I agree with them. Just can’t do it. I’ve been that person and I’ve engaged with that person and having my say rarely made me feel better. Someone who rants on occasion is different but I now guard my peace from those who only get on here to do it.
Lastly, i’ll say this. The people you’ll enjoy most are not the celebrities. The ones I enjoy most are everyday people who post about a variety of things. That’s how I hope you see me. When I act all celebrity-ish, ignore or unfollow me.
I see people talk about how awful this place is and I’ve felt that way, too, but these decisions cut out most of that for me.
I love it here. This is my favorite social platform. I’ve made real friends. Come to really care about some folks. Love them. And when I’ve met them face-to-face, loved them even more.
@Mahnoor18288159 I am so sorry but so grateful you know Jesus and she is with her Lord and Savior! You are 100 percent right. God always heals us when we ask Him, it is just that sometimes it is in heaven and not on earth.

Wow, did I love the video on the Psalms!!! Amazing insight to the Psalms, just beautiful!! Thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing what God gave you with us!!! We are so grateful!!!
@jdgreear@SummitRDU@ChickfilA I don’t see how you can eat two on there, I can barely eat one.
I should have told you before but your book, Gospel totally changed my perspective about walking with Jesus.
Thanking so much for writing it!!
@BethMooreLPM There is a small group of precious women watching the “Walking with God” videos every other Tuesday (June 23, July 7, 21, Aug 4) in Hendersonville, NC. We are loving them. I can’t believe I am saying this but I love studying Leviticus.
@BethMooreLPM Hey Sweetheart
I have a group of 9 ladies meeting in my home doing Walking With God. We just started yesterday. Is there a leader’s guide? I have watched video 1 3 times, can’t find the answer in the last line of point three? Help?
