Pray for Laurren

I don't normally do this, but I feel like it's the right thing this time. Laurren Smith is a 13 year old girl who has fought an uphill battle with cancer for over a year now. I first heard about her through my assistant principal and have seen her precious bald head at church numerous times. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, or bone cancer, and had a knee replacement. The chemo and drugs caused heart failure and she's been on a research drug for awhile now. Through various other trials, she and her family have remained faithful. She was reaching the end of her research drug, almost in the clear, cancer free, when her latest scans found cancer again... in her lungs. Even with a grim prognosis, she's strong. Please pray for her and her family. Pass her website along and follow her story. The more people that are praying, the better her chances are. We all know God is amazing.

Meet Laurren
