Kidney for Katrina

07/07/2022

Joshua, Katrina’s son here.

With a heavy heart, my mother passed away at 6:40 July 6 2022. She passed In her sleep and went in peace.

She loved everyone with her big heart and tried her best to show Gods love in everything she did. She left behind 2 sons, 1 daughter in law, 1 Brother, 1 Sister in law and her aunt. She wanted to do so much in her life, tried her best to live like God wanted her. She would not want people to be sad, but to celebrate her life as they do In Louisiana.

Some days I have to work extra hard to keep the human at bay..... You know what I am talking about...... the part of you that questions why..... why do people hate?.....why do people choose to hurt?.....why do some trials seem unending? why, why, why....

Just like Job, I dare to ask God, why.

A beautiful life was lost and she chose to give the tremendous gift of organ donation. My heart skips a beat....do I dare to hope?

Then I remember, due to the hate of another, I am no longer approved for transplant so this will not be an option for me. This brings on a new avalanche of emotion....everything from shattered hope, to the great "why", to tears of sadness.

Then the greatest revelation of all......who am I to question God? I know well that my God loves me, has my best Interest at heart, and has laid out a beautiful future for me filled with hope.

Somewhere, deep in my heart, I know that whatever the reason for the battle that began In 2019.....for whatever reason for the constant attacks, God W I L L bring all this about for His great glory. People will have no choice but to acknowledge the goodness and glory of God ......not the actions of man.

I am finally home after 10 days spent In the care of multiple teams of providers at Vanderbilt University. Barely kept my sanity In the middle of 4 wall without a window. I have truly never been so sick.

This morning I awoke tired, defeated by circumstances, and just knowing the mountain Is too tall and I am too tired to continue on.

And as the day unfolded I just told God. I need You to fight for me. There Is nothing left within me (seriously not true my eyes were on the wrong things). But I was flooded with emotion and just didn't know how I was going to manage to put one foot in front of the other.

Then here comes the Great Lion of Judah, who goes before and behind me, who places my feet upon His path so that I do not slip, who is fills my heart to overflowing with peace and joy when I should have none.

Today I hit my knees In humble awe as God raised up giants to fight for me, who moved mountains that I have tried to get moved for 3 months, and PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME He made a way where there was no way..... JUST AS HE PROMISED.

This video echoes my soul. The devil is a lie and wants nothing more than to convince you of your weakness. But glory to the name of the Almighty King, when I am weak God rises up and shows His strength.

I know there is an urging In my Spirit that is telling me "Soon, chld, soon you will be called upon to tell the story. Soon you will shout from the mountains that I am God and you will be a testimony for me".... Personally terrifies me if truth be known. but my only answer can be, YES LORD, AS YOU LEAD I WILL GO.

I love you!!!! Please watch my regular page for an exciting opportunity for all of us!!!!

I am a blessed woman and God was faithful to watch over me

My beautiful girl Zila triggered me several times Friday telling me that something’s. I waited til Saturday to get checked and was admitted immediately to Vanderbilt hospital.

This is the second time she has repeatedly pointed to an area and Triggered concern. Both times I have been hospitalized.

After 10 days my girl came to get me and bring me home. Ian made it even better by bringing to naked Jeep for an absolute beautiful ride home.

To be completed with my favorite red neck taco.

I hope this makes some kind of sense.
I was taken to dialysis at 7 this morning until nearly 11.
Went straight from dialysis to surgery.
Diagnosis is Staph infection.
Got out of surgery around 1:30but did t get to my room until 4 because transport forgot me.
The minute I stood up to get off the gurney the pain was so intense I vomited everywhere.
I am in my bed and don’t plan on moving til morning.

I love y’all

Calling for prayers. All
Four cultures have returned negative but my numbers are getting worse not better.
Currently being tested for MRSA and Staph.

Would be a blessing for both of those to return negative.
