I Trust In God For I know He Cares For Me!

 This is just an update my kidney quest. As of  today I'm still waiting on my kidney. I 'm still in faith keeping God's words close to my heart and on my lips. He said that I was healed by his strips and that's what I believe.
I really feel that I 'm at the door of my transplant because so much looks like it is going wrong and it won't be but it will because I trust God. There will be glory after this, God's gonna turn this around He will bring me out !

A Mother's Shoes

People generally go through a lot in this life, especially women and mothers.  Sometimes you may look at a mother and think she has it all together because her hair is combed and her clothes match but you have no idea of the different challenges she faces from day to day. You don’t hear that voices in her head telling her that she can’t make it alone, this is just to much for her to bear. This is it and she won’t make it through this one and her  better days have already passed. They don’t see the sufferings she endures just to raise a family on her own and how she cries and pray at night that God will guide, provide, and protect her and her family. You don’t see her going without so her family can have what they need . Sometimes she’s up over in the whee hours of  morning with those begging prayers of her asking God to let her live to raise her own kids and be here to help them through life. Even in sickness a mother has to still raise the kids, go to work when she does not feel like it, cook, clean and be the mother and father in most cases. If the kids are in school homework never ends and there is always something to do even after every thing is done. So appreciate your mother because you don’t know the road she has travel and bless your mother in any and every  way you can. You don’t have to just wait on Mother’s Day to bless her give her  flowers while she can still smell them. Be Blessed!                                                                                                      

God Wants Us Well!

Sometimes satin tries to put me under condemnation by telling me that if I'm looking for God to heal me why am I seeking a donor. And it is contrary to faith to use doctors and medicine when all I need is a word from the Lord. I know God as a healer because he healed me form cancer almost 10 years ago and I thank him everyday for my healing. Now  I don't know how the Lord my God is going to do this but I know he is going to do this for me. God will send the healing and I will come out of this with the victory. I will not die but live and declare the works of the Lord. That's the first and most important thing for you to know . If you can believe God and the word without wavering no matter what happens, what it looks like, and what the doctors say then you'll be able to receive your healing  by faith alone.

But you know that takes a lot of practice  speaking  what you want instead of what you feel or have been told.You see faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of  God.  Hearing a few sermons on healing won't cut it either . You have to live in your healing by walking in it like it's already done in the precious name of Jesus. Healing is for everyone . I don't care what kind of healing you may need God can and God will heal you just trust him and speak your healing not defeat . It's by Jesus stripes we are healed. It's what you do with your faith that's going to get you the right kind of results. And always rejoice and know that you are special to God and he is working with you, meeting you at the level of your faith. Thank God for your healing how ever it comes! And don't let Satan put you under condemnation. You're God's child and Be Blessed!

Why More African Americans Don't Donate Organs?

Could myths be the reason why we don't donate organs? Please don't let these myths confuse you and discourage you from saving someone's life. There's enough people to populate a small city (over 113,041) waiting on organ donations in the United States. It is very unfortunate that thousands never get the call saying that a suitable donor organ is ready for them and a second chance at life has been given.  It's a horrible feeling to know that you're life could end at any time and there is nothing you can do about it.


I think people are afraid to donate because of the lack of information they may have. Maybe people want to help but are afraid because of myths. One might find it hard to think about what's going to happen to their bodies after they die, let alone donating their organs and tissues while living. Think about it, having two kidneys is a luxury. Your body only needs one kidney to carry out a productive and beautiful life.


Being an organ donor is a generous and worthwhile decision you can make to become a lifesaver. You know Jesus Christ did it; he died on the cross to save our lives. He could have jumped down and said “forget it" but Jesus stayed on that cross or tree, took those beatings and gave up his life for you and me. Now that's not what's being asked of you. The question being asked of you is to give a second chance at life to someone that needs it not give up your life.


Understanding organ donation can make you feel better about your choices. If you’ve delayed your decision to be a donor because of possible misinformation please ask questions, reach out and talk to people who have saved lives by donating organs.

Why does Patrice need a kidney?

Hi bloggers, the question is why does Patrice need a kidney?   My life depends on this kidney transplant because of end-stage renal disease the name for kidney failure so advanced that it cannot be reversed. The word " renal" is another word for kidney.   A  kidneys in end-stage renal disease function so poorly that they can no longer keep you alive. End-stage renal disease cannot be treated with conventional medical treatments such as drugs. Only 2 treatments allow you to continue living when your kidneys stop functioning: dialysis and kidney transplantation. Most people on dialysis last about 3 to 5 years that's if  you're lucky. Being on dialysis is a very hard life especially if you are a mother with four children to take care of.

My name is Patrice Ravizee. I'm a single mother to 4 little girls. I'm in Urgent Need of A Kidney Donor. I have been on dialysis for 3 yrs and is on my last access. An access is the place on your body that enables you to receive dialysis treatments. I have had many dialysis accesses and is on my last one. If this access gives out on me or goes bad then the doctors say that I would die. I want to live. I'm not ready to die. I need to live for these little girls that are depending on me to be here to raise them. If you desire to help  me Please contact me at (205) 541-6002 , Patrice Ravizee.    Please pass the word to friends to follow me at http://diamondintheroughkidneyforpatrice.blogspot.com/.
