Liz

I met my friend Liz about a year and a half ago. Liz is a gorgeous young mom of two kids who loves Jesus. When I met her she had just begun to have health problems. For awhile the doctors could not quite diagnose her. Me and a group of other moms would pray for Liz weekly. One day she came to our Mom2Mom group and let us know that the doctors had diagnosed her with Pulmonary Hypertension, a disease that will kill her in anywhere from 5 to 20 years. It is completely unpredictable as far as how long it will let you live but it is predictable in the sense that there is no cure. I was devastated for her. There was no reason for this to happen to Liz. She had none of the risk factors.
However, God is always good. Liz has inspired me and many other women to live life to the fullest and to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind no matter what the circumstances. She is an amazing woman. I am lucky to call her my friend.

Phew! I wrote all of that to say checkout her latest blog. It is an inspiring must-read as we head into the New Year.
