Wedding Countdown Ticker
Inspirational stories come from the writers heart and soul. God put His "heart" in you. He didn't just create you. He invested Himself in you. You are the inspirational story that emerged from the heart and soul of the Father. Who you are is a person worth knowing well.

I love you Nooker!

My heart is heavy as I write this post! Tonight at 6 pm California time my precious cousin Brooke (Nooker) went to be in the arms of our heavenly Father! She is dancing with the angels and my daddy!
Brooke is a hero in my book! Ever since she was diagnosed with Primary Pulmonary Hipertention she has had the best attitude! She has loved the Lord with all her heart and trusted Him every step of the way! Any time you would talk to her about her sickness and if she was scared or worried she would always tell you no because I trust in Jesus and know that He has His best in mind for me!
She was a fighter and a warrior for Christ! She loved Jesus with her whole heart and was always so excited and ready to be in the arms of our heavenly Father! Before my dad passed away I can remember her telling him that she was ready to be with Jesus!
I loved sitting with her and just talking about life, anytime I was having a really hard time and I need someone to lift me up in the word I would call Nooker and she would always have a word for me! Her and I had some great laughs and great times together! She always had a smile on her face and arms ready to give you the best hug!

I am so thankful that I was able to go and spend Christmas with her this year and that will be a memory that I will never forget!

She will ALWAYS be a hero in my book and she will NEVER be forgotten!

Nooker,
Thank you for challenging me to be a better women of God! For loving me and encouraging me to be the best that I can be! Thank you for your wonderful hugs and words of encouragement!
Thank you for the passion that burned so bright in your eyes, heart, and the words that you spoke about our Lord and Savior! You are an amazing women and will be missed! I look forward to dancing with you in heaven! Please give my daddy a big hug and kiss for me and tell him how much I love and miss him! You will always be in my heart! I miss you already!

Much Love,
Jin

Update on Brooke!

Okay so here is what is going on with my cousin Brooke! Last week they did several tests on both her lungs and her heart. Then they had to wait till Tuesday to hear the results of the tests! She was moved to high priority on the transplant list and is waiting for new lungs. The good news is that the test that they did on her heart came back good so at this point they are not going to need to do a heart transplant. They are hoping that once she gets her new lungs that her heart will be just fine.

They released her from the hospital on Tuesday however her and her husband are staying in a hotel for a few days just to make sure that Brooke is okay to go home! The transplant surgery can be any minute, hour, or day! So please pray with me that they will find a donor sooner the later! They have to match the blood type as well as the lung size! Once the surgery is done they will have to stay in San Diego for 3 months so that she can have regular check ups and so that the doctors can keep a close eye on her. They live in Apple Valley which is about an hour and a half to two hours from San Diego!

Brooke and JJ are both doing as well as can be expected. They both have high hopes and know that God is in control! Please pray for patients, trust, faith, and understanding. As well as for their marriage that Satan will have no foot hold during this difficult time! They are both such strong people who love God so much!

Thank you all so much for you prays it means so much!

Update on Brooke Please Pray Now!

This weekend Brooke was released from the hospital and sent home because they wanted to make sure that she did not contract any other diseases that might be in the hospital! Well last night she went back to the hospital with some chest pain and a rapid heart beat! The doctors got her stabilized however have decided that she has to at least have a lung transplant if not both a heart and lung transplant! This is very serious and very scary! Please pray with me for complete healing and for a transplant! She has very high hopes and spirits and she lights up any room she is in! Please pray with me for this amazing women of God!
Also please consider fasting with me this Thursday for her and her healing weather it be a complete miracle or through a transplant!
If you wouldn't mind leaving a encouraging comment below for her and her family and also put where you are from! I will make sure that they get it! How awesome would it be for her to see that people around the world are praying on her behalf! If you don't have a blog spot account you can post as anonymous and just leave your name and place where you live! Thank you all so much for your love and support! :)Also if you happen to have a blog spot and would like to let all your blog followers know about Brooke and ask them to pray for her that would be amazing! :)

UGENT PRAYER REQUEST! PLEASE READ NOW!

As I am writing this my eyes are shedding so many tears I can barely see my computer screen! I would like you to meet my cousin Brooke! She is a 26 year old young woman who loves the Lord with all her heart and soul! Today is her 2 year wedding anniversary to a wonderful man of God named JJ.
Six years ago she was diagnosed with a heart/lung disease called Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH). She has had a pick line that goes directly to her heart ever since then that helps keep her stable in a sense! There is no cure for this disease and it effects mostly women between the ages of 20 and 40 years of age. It can however effect anyone! In the 1990's the life expectancies was 3 years now they have better medicine but since there is no cure it makes it difficult to say how long someone will live with this disease!

Well tonight I found out that Brooke is in the hospital and has been there for 7 days now! The doctors are upping her medicine intake but they don't have much room to work with. So they have brought in transplant papers for her to sign and start working on! If it come to this point she will need a lung transplant and possibly a heart transplant. As I was talking to my Aunt tonight I asked her on a scale of 1 - 10 how bad is it and she said it was between and 8 and a 9!
My heart hurts so bad right now! Brooke is such a precious person in my life and someone I love and care about deeply! Please pray with me for God's healing and will to be done! Brooke once told my dad that when God calls her home she is going to be ready! She has such a heart of gold and loves the Lord with all her heart!

Please pray for her family and husband during this time! Also please pray for wisdom and discernment for the doctors and nurses!
I trust and believe that God is in control of this whole situation and that no matter what He is a might God who loves Brooke more then I do! Which is hard to even comprehend!
