Hi all,

I couldn’t let today go by without acknowledging the one-year anniversary (liverversary) of my transplant. Thank you Jesus for my new life physically and spiritually. Thank you to my donor family whom I will likely never meet and thank in person. Your loved one’s gift was the difference between life and death. Thank you doctors, nurses, and staff, you are amazing. Thanks to my family and friends for your prayers, love, and support this past year. I also want to thank people I’ve never even met for praying for me. Due to this miraculous gift, I was able to be here to participate in many precious memories with my family and friends over the past year and even go wedding dress shopping with my oldest daughter.

My health is improving, still working on physical stamina. I will continue to go back every three months to change out stents that have been placed in my bile duct to keep it flowing well. I’m hoping that I won’t need these stents much longer. I’m thankful that I only take one Rx medication now, my immunosuppressant, and only have to get lab once a month. Things are getting back to as normal as they can be for me.  

 “How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all this people.” Psalm 116 12-14   I am trying to fulfill this passage in my life starting with a believer’s baptism back in November. This act of obedience has really made a difference in my life so I encourage you to prayerfully consider it in yours.  

God Bless,

Kelli

I should have ended up in a box. But I didn’t. I can’t explain it, I don’t deserve it, but it’s undoubtedly indisputable evidence of God’s abounding mercy and grace for our family and me.

I will continue to listen to God’s voice for what form and feature Woman Made Well will take.

I know it’s supremely about the powerful healing touch of Jesus. But on our part, it’s leaning into what He wants to do. It’s about our curiosity and courage to let Him touch and heal through His Word, His Spirit. It’s about our willingness to lose comfort in the uncomfortableness of change. Whether we will cling to our human comfort, or cling to Him? It’s about busting down the walls of shame and judgment that keep us from walking abundantly together in the life Jesus died for us to live.

Woman Made Well is so much bigger than me.
