In this picture top left hand
corner is my son, Jared's stem cells that are being collected from the machine to the
right of him.
After the 7 days of chemo starting on the 14th of May,
this bag of life giving cells will be used to restore, to reboot his whole immune
system like back to a new born baby. The old immune system will be wiped out
and in turn given the new {immature} blood stem cells.
The day he gets these blood
stem cells transplanted back into his body his immune system will be brand
NEW…. it will be like being born again the nurses told us, he will have a new
immune system, a new birthday........I chuckled and said, I think we will have
a party & celebrate with a birthday cake that
day!!
After hearing that statement
made by the nurse, I felt Papa God revealing things to me while I sat there
with my son Jared watching this collection process unfold. As his mother &
the love I have for him, I would take his place; I would give my life for his
to take away all the pain, to give him life.
This made me ponder back to the day when I gave my heart to Jesus. I was
born again, reborn in my spirit into God's kingdom. I had a new life, hope and
a new chance, a new BIRTHDAY! Heaven
threw a party!
You see a blood donor had
been found, a Perfect Match.
Jesus Christ is his name;
he was willing to give
his blood for me to save my life from the cancer of sin that was going to take
my life away.
I needed a donor and His blood was a rare find, it was spotless,
perfect in every way. His DNA had not been tainted with the sin of this world,
it was perfect for me, perfect for you.
However, before Jesus sacrificed & gave his perfect blood for us he did
not know if we would accept him as our donor.
Regardless, He loved us so much that he gave his blood, his life for us
so we could live & not die from what had corrupted us since our birth.
Without his sacrifice of blood, exchanging
his life for ours there was no hope, for us to live.
..............................We would die in our sin.
Jesus calls to us giving us a choice to receive his life giving sacrifice.
If we
choose to accept his life giving blood we are born again.
We get a transplant, a new heart, new blood,
spiritual blood, we take on the DNA of our heavenly Father, his blood restores
and reboots our whole life, it wipes away every sin from our past, we become
like a baby and we get to grow up and mature in his glorious nature.
We get the
opportunity to LIVE again.
Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice and for being my
blood donor!
I have received him with
open arms, have you?
Transforming Life,

Lori. My stomach just sank and my eyes filled with tears. It has been so long since I have visited your blog. I had no idea your family was dealing with this. Thank God your cute as could be son found a donor. I pray that this will be the new start his body needs.
I found out quickly after having by baby in Nov just how amazing blood donors are. I had what is considered a fatal blood loss (around 6 pints). By the grace of God I am here and because of many strangers that donated.
Stay strong, I will be praying for him. Remember I am just a couple hours away so if you EVER need anything, please let me know. Me and the baby can be down quickly for coffee, cleaning or cooking. And I mean it. xo
