If you're someone who prays and you're okay with praying for others that you don't know, then I'd like to ask if you could please pray for my cousin Valerie. (
das_uber_chin: cousin on the other side.)
She's pregnant, around 33 weeks along, and she's been hospitalized tonight with serious complications. Her kidneys are - if not outright failing, then threatening to fail. They're inducing labor tonight in the hopes that they can treat both her and Joshua, her son, better once he's delivered. The pregnancy has been complicated in the past and both her health and Joshua's have been iffy for a while.
She's in good hands but things are very serious. Her mother sent out an e-mail to her friends and family asking for prayers for Valerie, Joshua, and Shawn (V's husband/J's dad) tonight, so I'm asking my friendslist. I'm also cross-posting this to a couple of communities.
I'm also wondering, not for the first time, about creating a community for prayer request chains, open to anyone of any faith or belief system to join or observe or make requests, just a place to gather people for putting their energy and prayer and faith to help those in need. If I did that, would any of you be interested?
