Prayer for a "sister"...

As many of you may recall, I'm in a fraternity (yes, a fraternity don't correct me and call it a sorority, it's not social it's academic.). Well, on Tuesday night we heard a rumor that a sister was in an accident and life-lined to St. Joseph (A bigger city 45 mins. away); so we decided that if anyone heard about the accident, that we should IMMEDIATELY tell the other sisters, so we can all be informed.

After the meeting there were a few sisters that had some not-so-nice things to say about our sister in the accident, and I found it rather irritating. I don't care what happened in the past, they need to get over it, especially when there is a sister in need.

I was actually the one who found out the information first, and immediately sent out texts/e-mails to the others. This is what it said:

Hello ladies;

Today in our meeting we talked about a rumor heard about a sister, Caitlin Kinman. I just thought I'd let you know, the rumor is true and she is in ICU in St. Joseph. They found internal bleeding.

I don't know much about what happened/is happening, but I know we talked about it, and said we'd pass along any news we heard.

As I said in the text message I sent to a few of you in my phone, no matter your differences, she's a sister, and she needs us to keep her in our thoughts and prayers. Don't forget; In 1910, seven young women made a pledge to help each other with sisterly affection and to stand for the utmost music scholarship, uprightness of character, and the friendly unselfish relations among women in music.

Love and Roses,
KaTrina

I don't think I was out of place saying what I did. Do you? It was a lot nicer than it could have been.

Today, I found an article online from our local newspaper, about the accident:

Maryville, Mo. -

Missouri State Highway Patrol and other area rescuers surround a 2001 pontiac Aztec, driven by 19-year-old Caitlin Kinman, after she drove it off the east side of the roadway, through a residence’s yard Wednesday morning and into a tree while traveling north on Highway EE, four miles east of Maryville. Kinman was reported to be in serious condition and was taken to St. Francis Hospital.

If you could please take the time to pray/keep in your thoughts, both Caitlin, and our other sisters so that Caitlin can get better quickly, and so our other sisters can settle their differences, that would be great.


Thanks so much.
