just wanted to inform my avid blog readers, there are so many of you, of something exciting that is possibly happening my life.
i am a possible match for being a bone marrow donor!
about two weeks ago a random 1-800- number called and left me a message asking if i remembered registering in college to be a bone marrow donor. i barely remembered but i called the lady back. as we started talking my mind was jogged. during my sophomore year at pc i donated blood to go into this bank so that people that need a bone marrow transplant could see if im their type and they would possibly use mine. when i signed up, i thought nothing of it. honestly, i did it cause my friend cassie was sponsoring project life (the organization at pc for bone marrow donating). i never thought i would get that phone call.
anyways, the lady and i talked and i am a possible match! so last week i went to the hospital and gave lots of blood for them to test. i should find out in like a month if i am a match.
yall, please pray i am this persons match.
i really want to be able to help a person live. to be able to help someone’s someone live. can you imagine if there was a way for my dad to have lived if a stranger had given something. words cant even describe it. each time the lady and i talk she continues to ask, “is this ok? do you want to continue?” im like, heck yes! what if that someone that could of helped my dad didnt because they were too scared of being uncomfortable. i think i would of showed up at their house and taken their bone marrow myself.
i find myself thinking about my possible match all the time. there is a person, a daughter/son/sister/brother/mother/father/best friend/cousin/etc out there that is waiting to live. and they are waiting to know if i am their actual perfect type. please pray that i am. it would be my complete joy and honor to help another live.
as i try to wrap my mind around all of this, i cant even begin grasping how this is what christ did for us. he gave up his life so we could live. i would just be uncomfortable for 3 weeks.
