Ryan Vaughan posted a story on his blog of a family who is in need of prayer. Their 15 year old daughter, Kelsey, had a tumor removed from her brain stem. She is now undergoing follow up treatment. This is a very critical situation that we as believers should commit to the Lord in prayer. You can click here to read the story on Ryan’s blog.
Kelsey has written a poem that is pretty special considering the health issues that she is enduring. I’ve copied and pasted it below. Have a great day.
I like to be by myself, but I can’t stand being alone.
love the dark, but I hate not being able to see
I enjoy meeting new people, but I hate being with strangers,
I want my voice to be heard, but I despise talking loud.
I want to be in a hall of fame, but I don’t like being the center of attention.
I want to have my most complicated problems solved, but I don’t want complicated answers.
I want to always be healthy, but not have to take medicine.
The answer: GOD!
With God, I can be away from the world, by myself, but not be alone, for He is with me.
With God, I can be in the dark, be blind, but see more than people of this world can.
With God, I can meet new people, but they won’t be strangers, because they are children of God, just like me.
With God, my voice can be heard even when I whisper.
With God, I can enter His hall of fame, but not deal with the pressure of earthly fame.
With God, I can have even my most complicated problems solved with a simple answer.
With God, I can have an incurable disease, yet be healthy in what matters most.
WITHOUT GOD, I will be with the world, and be totally alone.
Without God, I will walk around with my eyes wide open, but not see as much as the Christian blind man sees.
Without God, I will meet all the people in the world, but they will always be strangers.
Without God, I will have to raise my voice as loud as I can to be heard, but still not be heard when it matters most.
Without God, I will have work extremely hard to get into a worldly hall of fame, but not get into the highest one.
Without God, my most complicated problems, can’t be solved, and the attempts will be so complicated, I won’t understand them.
Without God, I will have to take pill after pill, but will always be incurably sick.
With God, I can achieve anything.
Without God, I will achieve nothing.
