In Need of your Help

Hello friends, I have had some struggles hit me recently and so I just want to take some time and share them with you. There is major power that comes when we surround each other in prayer and so I would really appreciate your prayers in these areas over the coming weeks.

I had the opportunity to visit home to surprise my family and spend a quick couple of weeks with them this last month. While I was home I had a rather unfortunate health thing hit me and had to go into the emergency room because of the intense pain it was causing. The past few months I have been going to the doctor for various tests trying to track down the cause of the pain I seem to be in and they narrowed it down to a possibility of kidney stones, ovarian cysts, or ovarian cancer. Thankfully they ruled out the cancer and told me that unless I wanted some very expensive tests done that I should just assume the pain was a cyst. So after being pain free for a few weeks it came as a shock to me that I would wind up in the hospital. While I was there they did an ultrasound of everything from my heart to my appendix to my ovaries and decided that it was most likely just another kidney stone.

I was also tested for some food sensitivities and found out that I have high sensitivities to wheat, anything corn related, and dairy. So as I have drastically changed my diet I am beginning to slowly but surely feel better again.

I know that many of you have been praying for me for several months regarding my health and I truly appreciate this, I know that it is because of your prayers that I have seen breakthrough in my health, so thank you!

I have another prayer request that has recently come up regarding finances. Because health insurance is so costly I have not been able to afford it, and so when I made the trip to the hospital while in Colorado, they told me that I couldn't apply for the state's financial assistance programs due to the fact that I am no longer a Colorado resident. When I received all of my various hospital bills they came to a total of $2664.45. On top of which my car recently needed some unexpected maintenance costing another $370. I do set aside money each month for emergencies but it is no where near enough to cover these huge costs. I am currently applying for various other financial assistance programs for the hospital bills, and hope to see the bill be reduced. But after a lot of prayer I felt God ask me to bring this before you guys, my family and friends, and ask that you pray about giving a one time financial gift to help me cover these costs. I know this is a huge thing to ask of you guys especially in this time of tough economy where I know that many of you are struggling financially as well. But any amount is helpful, so if you feel led to give would you send me an email at Jacque17lyn@aol.com and let me know.
