Today we remember and celebrate the life of our sweet Micaela. She was a beloved part of our ABLE family, and her presence was a gift to all of us. During worship, Micaela always responded with a smile...swaying gently and worshipping in her own unique and genuine way. It was a powerful reminder that God always makes a way for His love and music to be known, felt, and shared.

Micaela was deeply loved, and she will be greatly missed at ABLE. We are so grateful for the joy she brought, including the special year she played Mary in our Christmas program -- a moment that filled her family and our ministry with pride and love. Our hearts and prayers are with her family as we mourn her loss and rejoice in the life she lived.

Update:

Good morning all!
Katie was discharged yesterday afternoon knowing we can provide better comfort care at home than in the hospital. The non stop seizures stopped after high doses of drugs were administered by IV and at the same time church prayed for her. Erin, the peace that came over Katie’s body was a sight to see while you were on speaker phone praying over her! A testimony to the power of prayer witnessed by medical and support staff. All the praise and glory to our God.
She was moved to ICU for monitoring and treatment with new seizure medication. She is still fairly drugged up and still refusing to eat but is drinking water by mouth. She is a fighter but her body is tired. We continue to ask for prayers for restoration for her whole body. Praying we can adjust medication for seizure control and quality of life. Seizures aren’t good but being drugged up so much isn’t good either.
Thank you for praying, for visiting, and caring. It means so much to all of us to be comforted by all of you.

We ask for prayers for our sweet Katie girl, and for Sue and Dennis. Katie is currently in the hospital dealing with seizures.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬
