Be a Blessing to the Worrell Warriors
Donation protected
James 1:2 says to count it all joy when we fall into various trials. This is something we often have a hard time doing when we let fear, anxiety and sorrow consume us in trials and we miss out on the joy and blessings. If there is anything that my sister Rhonda and I have learned from our sister Cynda is that our God is always faithful in every trial and in every valley we encounter, and there are always blessings if you just take the time to look for them. They come in all forms, some larger than others and some you really have to be still to see.
Throughout the last several years, we all have watched Cynda and her husband Scott encounter so many trials and storms and we are amazed that through it all, there is so much selfless sacrifice for their family and always joy and praise. They have endured numerous sleepless nights as our nephew David has been in and out of the hospital several times and has had multiple surgeries. Scott is David’s voice during hospital stays and doesn’t leave his side which leads to many days not in the office. With countless doctor appointments and around-the-clock care for their boys, Cynda has also taken a step back from the job she loves so much as a Sales Director with Mary Kay. All of this on top of trying to provide a “somewhat-normal” life for their other children and build an accessible “forever” home for their family of 6 around their small existing home (which was originally to be Scott’s shop 20+ years ago) so that there would be little disruption to the boys’ every day routine - not to mention sky-rocketing prices on building materials in the middle of a Pandemic.
A couple weeks ago, we reached out to all our prayer warriors asking to lift David’s name up in prayer and that God would protect both he and Scott as David was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. God answered our prayers and they left the hospital in only a few short days without contracting the Corona virus. Praise the Lord! David is such a true warrior and we are so amazed at what he has overcome throughout his young life. More than any one person should have to endure. Through all of this, he still loves to swing, loves car rides, be read to, sit in his chair and play music, watch his favorite veggie tales or Blue’s Clues videos, and loves to lay in his bed and talk to his faithful sidekick Scout – who goes everywhere with him. But honestly, those are all second to his Daddy. He absolutely adores his daddy!
Friends, earlier this week, Cynda and Scott received news from David’s team of Doctors that antibiotics are no longer working and there isn’t anything more they can do for David. Sadly, his life of 25 years, is coming to the place of bringing in hospice. The Worrell Warriors are entering into the hardest trial you can imagine. These next few weeks, they will be spending every minute they have left with David while planning his funeral. In my Father’s house, there are many rooms and I know he has a special place picked out for David (and Scout) and he will be there waiting for him to run into his arms!
I’ve never had to bury a child and I’ll be the first to admit, even though I know it’s there somewhere, I’m having a hard time seeing the blessing here. Their journey has inspired all of us and they, themselves, have blessed many. Several have asked how to help the Worrells, how can we be servants to lighten their load, and be a blessing to them. Rhonda and I are asking all of you, if at all possible, would you help us, help them, by blessing them through a donation as they have and will be encountering overwhelming financial obligations.
