WOW ... doesn't start to cover it.
Back when BooMama contacted us to do the "For Kelli" fundraiser, her goal was to cover at least the first months COBRA payment.
As the date approached and hit, several of you emailed her that you were hoping to raise at least the first year's COBRA payments.
Well, the numbers are in and ..... we didn't hit the one year mark .....
However!
What y'all DID do, was raise THE FULL 18 MONTHS worth o'payments.
We cannot even BEGIN to express our sincere thank you for the chance at life that you have given me.
There are no words.

God is so good, isn't He?
Please rest well!

We all know whose hand is in all of this and Boomama was His messenger! I'm so glad you can rest a little easier. I won't stop praying for a donor and a full recovery. You'll be all better soon if it's up to us internets. :o)
Fantastic! A lady, Allison, commented on my blog and asked how to contact you with helpful information. She said she had emailed you. I hope there's something there that can help, too.
Grinning ear to ear and Praising God!!
I am so, so happy for you and your family. So happy.
YAY.
:-)
Unbelievable.
I don't even know what to say.
But I think "Go, God!" is a pretty good place to start.
Totally awesome! I am so happy the "blogging" cummunity was able to do this! Best wishes!
I am just sooooooooo thrilled for you!!!!! Praise God!! Woohoo!!!!
Wow! I'm so glad!!!
Awesome. :)
God is so good- I just love how He works!! I'm so happy for you and I'm praying you get a donor soon and this can be behind you!
God bless you!

I don't know when I'm going to quit being surprised when God shows up so big. He is truly awesome.
Great news Kelli!
Crying tears of sweet joy! YIPPEE!
THIS is what I wanted to see happen. Cobra payments covered for 18 months! Let the search begin!
The thing I wanted more than anything was to know that you and J could set this huge worry aside and know that there is hope now. I'm beyond happy for all four of you. What a wondrous thing this is.
God Bless You, Kelli.
OH WOW!!! God bless you and your family!
So very, very cool. God is Jehovah-Jireh, Our Provider, for a reason!
How are you feeling these days, aside from dancing on the cloud created by God's love?
Blessings,

Wow! What a great way to start off my week, reading this--nothing is impossible for Him :)
Hooray!!
How wonderful! God IS Good!!
That is wonderful and truly amazing.
So awesome! Praise God
It's an honor to share God's Love with you. I can't wait to hear what else He is going to do in your life.
SINCERELY, Your Sister in Christ
You are more than deserving. Thank you Lord! :)
Now, let's pray this whole thing out and have you back and healthy ASAP. Keep us posted please.
More than amazing,
More than marvellous,
More than miraculous could ever be
He's more than wonderful
That's what Jesus is...
Thanks for posting this day-brightener.
Praying for you.
Sitting here teary-eyed, just soaking it in. Fabulous! Absolutely fabulous! xoxoxo
In awe of it all!! Go God! ((Hugs))
Ok ... I was one of the ones who said a year ... then I wrote booMama again and said "No, I'm getting the distinct impression we should be asking for 18 months." ... but then I started "hedging me bets" ... and just asking for a year ...
I am sooo thrilled for you Kelli, and I am sooo glad God is a merciful God and doesn't listen to my doubts ...
And I have to admit I'm so brokenhearted that I doubted ...
so I keep bouncing back and forth between sobbing and hard laughter. My landlord probably thinks I'm losing it!
I'd just love to know ... did anybody else hear God laugh? I mean right from the first time I found out about booMama's big brave doings ... I felt like God laughed in pure joy and said ... "just you watch this!"
And Kelli, when you said you thought you heard "will you please get out of my way and let me bless you," I did laugh because it was so inline with "just you watch this."
So yeah ... Anybody else setting up a remembrance stone for this event? After this last year, I'm ready to start collecting real stones and having them engraved!
Ok so ... next up? What are we praying over? A live donor? Airfare for the donor?
Hugs!!
Pam << Gone for a walk cause there ain't no concentrating now! And I think I'd like to go find some place quiet to apologize to God. And then I'm going to come home and shout and play praise music and ... i think I'll find a really great stone while I'm out walking ...
People, they are amazing. Now you can concentrate on getting that operation, getting better and getting back to your life. Bless you, and good luck in the future.
I'm speechless with tears in my eyes. God is so good. What an amazing faith-builder. Praise Him!
That's. Good. Stuff.
Go, God!
Isn't God AWESOME?!?!?
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Now, if Sophie and I just get to have the joy of running errands for you (west-end costco run? albertson's?) or helping with laundry or WHATEVER ...
We're praying for you, Kelli!
Love in Christ,
Tara Barthel (& Sophia Grace too!)
What an awesome testimony to God's goodness. You are a role model in so many ways. Me in my "taught from birth to be humble" roots would likely have said - don't worry about me - I don't want to put anyone out etc. etc. But your gratitude and acceptance of this gift has reminded me that we all need to love ourselves because God created us and loves us. He desires to bless us and show His love for us and I'm sure it gives him great pleasure when we smile like our children in thankfulness of his gifts. Had you not accepted these gifts others would not have recieved the joy of giving and blessing another sister. Its amazing how good God is and how he works all things together. God sees the whole picture laid out without the confines of time and I KNOW he looks at your future with joy and knows that it is good.
May you rest in the confidence God has in His good plans for you.
Wow! What God does when we do what little we can never ceases to amaze me! ***GREAT BIG HUGE GRIN***
Praise God!!! What wonderful news!
Wow!!! Praise God!!! He always does more than we could possibly think or ask. I am so happy Kelli.
What wondrous love is this, oh, my soul, oh my soul, what wondrous love is this O MY SOUL.....praising God right along with you all!!!
Truly miraculous as it should be :)
I am thrilled beyond words for you. Just thrilled.
Kelli...this is so awesome! I'm so happy for you, and believing it's just the beginning of God's extravagant provision!
oh wow, wow, wow!! I'm amazed you were blessed with 18 months of payments! That is so awsome!
Praise God, praise God, praise God! I am beyond excited for you and for what God has done!!!
this is such great news!!
God is Good!!
All the Time!!!
:-D
Now that is just COOL!
Gayle
Rock on, God!
I'm wiping away a little tear. And feeling so much love.
Go git' 'em, Kelli. We got your back!
Glory to God!! I LOVE it when He makes good things happen to good people.
You deserve it! Lots of people deserve it but I don't get the opportunity to help lots of people. Thanks to Boo Mama I got the opportunity (with a tiny token) to help you and for that I am thankful! May this year bless you with continued luck and love!
Alleluia! I'm so happy to hear that! :)
Praise God! That is amazing!
Kelli, I understand, from Barb, that you're in having surgery. Please know I'm offering up more prayers for you!
I am praying for you Kelli !
Linda
God is sooo good! Yay God for wowing ALL our socks off!
I'm praying for you and your surgery Kelli. God's brought you thus far; He's not going to drop you now!
Praise God! That is so cool!
Awesome!! Praise the Lord!!!
Kelli,
I'm so happy for you! Though I don't know you peronally, I learned about your plight through MarillaAnne's blog and quickly added you to my site.
Every blessing to you!
