Hey Guys.
So this is what's going on:
My cousin, Sarah, sister to the wild child I've asked you to pray for in the past, is sixteen years old and confined to a wheel chair. She has spent the last three months in and out of hospitals.
This whole sickness began three months ago. She woke in the middle of the night with a splitting pain in her side. She was rushed to the ER and spent the next ten days in the hospital. Well, on the eleventh day, her insurance company refused to pay for any further treatment, and she was discharged from the hospital and forced to drive from Tennessee to her home in Iowa while in terrible pain.
Since that time, she's been constantly in and out of hospitals. The whole time they've been chucking pills at her left and right, but nothing's helping. The most troubling fact is that the doctors don't really know what's wrong with her. In the time she's been sick, they diagnosed her with: an illias(sp?), A kidney infection, a bladder infection, pseudomonis{sp?), a kidney stone, and finally (currently), a kidney stone that is infected with pseudomonis.
The whole family is very concerned. Her parents are worried sick, and this is the last thing they need to be forced to worry about right now.
Please pray that she'll heal. Sarah has a tough life to begin with, and I hate to see her this way. Thanks for your prayers. I know my family appreciates it.
My Cousin has been chronically ill for 3 months.

My Cousin has been chronically ill for 3 months.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

T_T Oh your poor cousin. She has the name Sarah, too. I will definitely pray for her. ^__^
[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.
