I want to call for everyone out there to pray for Karla. Right now just take a moment and pray that God will heal her for her surgery. That he will wrap his arms around her and give her peace. I pray for wisdom and guidance for the doctors managing her care both at home and where her surgery takes place.
Lord, in your son's precious name, I pray these things, Amen
God be with you Karla. I have and will continue to pray for you. Remember, when you feel you are all alone, God is there carrying you. Just like the Footprints poem. Close your eyes and feel his presence. You are a very special person to me, Karla. You helped to pull me out of the darkness. Remember? I am here for you.
Your friend,
Sherry Perry Nashville
