What's Going On


We just wanted to create this site so everyone would know what's going on with Josie daily. Josie doesn't know about this site and would be upset with us for creating it, but we felt like it would help get out information. So many people have called and we are so sorry we cannot take all of them. We thank you for your concerns and your prayers very much. Most of you know that Josie is very sick. She doesn't feel like talking or texting right now. She does not want any visitors right now because it makes her nervous and scared something is wrong with her. She is on lots of pain medication and she has said some pretty funny stuff lately. She asked asked Heather several times how sick is she. It breaks our heart everytime she asks. She is having trouble breathing right now and she sleeps a lot. She has been in the ICU since Saturday. Here are some recent pics of her. She will kill me if she knew I was posting them. Thank you for your prayers.

  2. Thanks for creating this blog. This morning I was thinking about the song "Surely the Presence of the Lord is in the place", and it reminded me of Josie and her family. As difficult as it is to find blessings in the midst of hardship or chaos, if we give ourselves permission to believe that they do exist then and only then can we find the true blessings that are there. God loves you all so much and from my very limited knowledge I love you guys to. I will continue to pray for spiritual and emotional healing as I hope you guys will do the same. We do not know the path our lives will take we just know that Jesus Christ our Lord walks it with us.
    Josie, I know you are tired and weary so listen up my friend. Continue to rest and do what the doctors say and no matter what never never give up the hope that tomorrow will always be better than today. You my dear are an inspiration to many. I look forward to the day that you can help me with my Livin A Dream ministry, your story will be uplifting to many.
    May the peace and grace of our lord be with you all.

  11. Josie,
    I have two children Whitney and Wesley. Whitney is 16 and just went throught major back surgery for scoliosis. My son is 14, and he also has CF. We live in Henderson, Tn. I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. But you can rest assured that you are in God's loving hands, and that he loves and cares for you very much. There is always a reason that people have to go through things like this even though we may not know why until we see God's sweet face. I will be praying for you daily, and I will add you to our church prayer list.
    Bless you,
    Kindra Frix School Teacher and mother of two
