Hello bloggy friends! My appologies for the delay in shirt information... we had some issues with the shirts that should all be squared away. The shirts are going to be GREAT and designed by Elizabeth herself! They are slightly v-necked, steel blue in color, with white, dark blue and brown writing on the front and back. I appolgize that we still do not have a final price, but I will have that for you before race day! I am confident that they should not be more than $20 and hopefully less. At this time, those of you who ordered a shirt will PAY and PICK UP your shirt on Saturday, March 5th BEFORE the race! The race begins at 8 am so it is best to plan to be there by 7:30 to ensure you get your shirt to wear before the race starts. Anyone who ordered a shirt but will not be there race day, please make sure you email the account with your mailing information and we will mail you your shirt. We will reply to your message about where to send your check. We will have a few extra shirts available, but not many. If you did not pre-order one, then bring your cash as we may have extras. If you pre-ordered a shirt and do not want it, please let us know ASAP!
You can still sign up for the 5K. Please visit THIS LINK to register online. Please email us at prayersforliz@live.com and let us know you are coming!
The race will start and finish near the Little Rock Riverfront Ampitheatre (400 President Clinton Avenue, Little Rock). The Marathon has not yet posted a parking map for the race. I am going to try to park in the FREE parking lot under the I-30 overpass in downtown. HERE is a map of the 5K race. The lot I am talking about is in the center of the race course, so it is likely that it will not be open on race day. Again, we need to make sure we arrive in plenty of time to park and meet up together before the race starts at 8! No matter where you park, we should all plan to meet at the Starting Line at 7:30. I will be holding a large bouquet of PINK balloons or will have a poster board that says TEAM ELIZABETH! Someone at the starting line will have your t-shirt and will take your t-shirt money. If you did not order a shirt, feel free to wear your gray "Praying for Elizabeth" shirt or anything blue or gray.
If you plan to cheer from the sidelines, feel free to bring signs etc! We are so appreciative of your support!
After the race, Elizabeth would like to invite anyone- whether they are particpating in the 5K race or not, to join her and her family and friends at Dizzy's Grill in downtown Little Rock (200 Commerce Street, Little Rock) for lunch after the race. They open at 11 am and I anticipate us being there at that time.
As always... if you have ANY questions... please email us at prayersforliz@live.com

Update on our girl (the REAL reason for this blog!).... Ms. Elizabeth Parsley
Elizabeth PASSED her driving test! 2 weeks ago she drove a real car... on a real interstate... for the FIRST time in 5 months. She did AWESOME and is now approved to drive in town. Since she is still experiencing some problems with vision (PRAYER REQUEST), she will retest in 1 month for approval to drive outside of town on the interstate. Join me in congratulating Elizabeth!
Elizabeth will be DONE with Physical and Occupational Therapy at the end of February (PRAISE!) She will continue speech therapy for a few more weeks since she has not been in it as long as the other 2. Elizabeth's speech is perfect, but she experiences many cognitive benefits from speech therapy so she will continue for a few more sessions.
Elizabeth has come a long, long, LONG way. Almost 6 months ago, she was in a wreck that almost claimed her life. The past 1/2 year has been filled with many life interruptions. Elizabeth and her family are most gracious to God for not only sparing her life, but taking them through this trial. They realize that there are others that have not been as fortunate as she. Not only is she alive, but she will soon be back to life as "normal." Elizabeth asks that you pray for those like our friend Mark, that are still fighting for their life after a traumatic brain injury. She also asks that you continue to pray for her as therapy sessions come to a close and she is expected to "get back to life" after 6 months of rehab. Most importantly, she asks that you put your trust in the same Jesus that has carried her and her family through this trial. His love is never ending and His grace is sufficient.
Lastly, I leave you with this video that Mrs. Michelle, E's mom asked that I post. May their faith encourage you as it has me!

Race Day Shirts!
The 5K race is fast approaching! I am so excited about the wonderful turn out we are going to have! Many of you have signed up to walk with Elizabeth in the Little Rock Marathon's 5K race on Saturday, March 5th. You can still sign up HERE through 2/25 for $30. You can also sign up the Friday before the event at EXPO if the event is not sold out for $35.
Remember if you do not want to walk, you can come and cheer along the sidelines for free! We will also be having a "post race party" for anyone who wants to attend around lunch time on Saturday, March 5th after the 5K. (Details TBA!) Many of you have also chosen to participate in the relay, half marathon, or marathon on Sunday, March 6th in honor of Elizabeth. Elizabeth will not be participating in the races on the 6th, but she is so appreciative of your thought to honor her and will be there to cheer you on! We hope you marathon participants will join us on the 5th for lunch! Please let us know if you have signed up or plan to sign up for any of these races by emailing prayersforliz@live.com. Please forward us your receipt you receive from registering online, or simply send a message stating your name and which race you are participating in.
T-SHIRTS! We will be having a t-shirt made specifically for the Little Rock 5K/marathon that Elizabeth is designing herself! If you are participating in the race in Elizabeth's honor you are by no means required to purchase one and likewise, even if you are not participating you may still order one. These shirts will be v-neck in a bright color- likely turquoise. We will post the official design soon, but need a general idea of who wants one before we can know the official design and price. These shirts will not be sold as a fundraiser, but instead will be sold at cost so I don't anticipate them being more than $20 a piece and hopefully less!

He is Good.
"And we know...
that in all things...
God works for the good of those who love Him...
Who have been called according to His purpose."
Romans 8:28
This past weekend E and her friends spent a whole weekend together in Fayetteville. This is the first time E has been out of town overnight without her family since the accident. We celebrated God's goodness and blessings together. Elizabeth is SO good. I can't even describe to you the person she is today. She is perfect. God has blessed her with health and heart that is so full of love and life.
Elizabeth's family is mourning the loss of a close family member from this past weekend. Please remember her aunt and family as they buried their youngest son this past Friday. He was 19.
Elizabeth takes a driving exam on Thursday at 10 am. She is a little nervous since she hasn't driven a car since the accident more than 4 months ago! We are so happy that she is nearing the end of her therapy. The doctor thought that 6 more weeks would be sufficient!
Please keep a friend of Elizabeth's in your prayers. We mentioned Mark several weeks ago who suffered a brain injury not long after Elizabeth did. Mark has not been as fortunate to recover as Elizabeth and remains in critical condition in Little Rock. He has not woken up since his accident before the holidays. Pray for Mark and his family. Pray that they would have peace and comfort and that God would send a miracle to heal Mark. I will have a link to his caring bridge site soon.
PRAISE. "Praise be to God who has heard our prayers and healed our sweet Elizabeth. Thank you God for sparing her life and restoring her mind and body!"
PRAY. "Lord we ask that you be with Elizabeth as she gets back to life. Walk with her daily and give her the strength that she needs to do rehab. Be with her as she tests her driving on Thursday. Help her to know that you are with her always."
PRAY. "We pray for the Parsley family. We pray that each trial that you take them through brings them closer to you. We pray for Elizabeth's aunt and family who buried a child this week. May they been comforted in a way that only you can provide."
PRAY. "We pray for Mark. We pray that your will be done in Mark's life. We pray that glory would be yours. Lord we pray a miracle would be in store for Mark. We pray that just like in Elizabeth's case, his body would be healed and that it would only be explainable as an act of Yours."
Amen.

Run With Lizzie... Really You Should!
Several weeks ago I posted about the Little Rock Marathon and our idea to have people to sign up for the 5K to run/walk with Elizabeth. I am so excited that many of you have signed up and that we can look forward to this day of celebration! This is also a goal that Elizabeth has for herself to get ready physically for the race and something she is looking forward to doing with so many people that have prayed/are praying for her.
So... here are the details again.
Date: Saturday, March 5, 2011
Time: 8 am
Location: President Clinton & Commerce Streets
To register, please go to http://www.littlerockmarathon.com/EventsRaceInfo/5K.cfm
The fee right now is $30. All of this goes to the Little Rock Marathon. This is not a fund raiser for Elizabeth, this is an event to show our support as she attacks this goal she has set for herself to complete a 5K.
If you do not wish to run/walk alongside her, you can still come and cheer along the side lines or participate in the "post race party" we plan to host. You will not need to register and pay for the 5K unless you plan to participate in the actual race.
We do ask that if you plan to be a part of this day at all that you email and let us know at prayersforliz@live.com If you register for the race, you will receive an email and you can forward that to us so we know you have signed up. If you plan to come to show your support from the sidelines, please know that in an email. If you can help with a "post race party" by providing tailgate tents, drinks, food, etc please let us know in an email.
Any other questions regarding LR Martathon 5K with Elizabeth, email prayersforliz@live.com

Hebrews 12:1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Elizabeth Lately
Forgive the lag in postings, this blogger needed a little break! I am happy to let you know that Elizabeth is doing well, yet still in need of constant prayer.
Lately Elizabeth has been working on getting back to "life." In December Elizabeth traveled to Branson with her mom, sister and boyfriend, Jacob. They had a wonderful Christmas and have so much to be thankful for.
Some of Elizabeth's sorority sisters got together over the holidays for the first time since the accident. We had such a great time and are all amazed at what God is doing in Elizabeth's life. I often think about how any one of us could have been in the wreck that night... we've traveled that interstate a thousand times. It is hard to not ask God why a tragedy like this would occur... why such a sweet family would go through such heartache... why a perfectly healthy 24 year old would go through such pain. Instead we must focus on the Lord and His will. We must rejoice that the God of the universe saved Elizabeth's life physically, and praise Him for her life that she will have eternally with Him. We should thank Him often for hearing and answering our prayers and continue to lift her up as her needs and the needs of her family are great.
I have also come to grasp that life is but a vapor (James 4:14). We are never guaranteed another day. We have but a short time to impact the lives of others and spread the love of Christ. I know that Elizabeth and her family have realized this too and I am so very encouraged by their faith. Let it be a testament to us all that God walks with us through the deepest valleys of life. Michelle commented while Elizabeth was still in the hospital that she's not sure how other people make it through tragedies without the hope of Jesus.
Elizabeth is doing very well. She is the same sweet Elizabeth that we prayed that she would be! If you met her on the street for the first time and didn't know that she nearly lost her life you would never know the difference! (PRAISE!) Her smile is the same, her laugh is the same, her sarcasm and silliness is the same (trust me, ha!). Elizabeth is still dealing with some vision issues so she is still unable to drive. She will remain at her parents house for now since she has to be driven to and from appointments. She averages 8 therapy sessions a week! That makes me tired just thinking about it so you can imagine her exhaustion. Elizabeth is learning to get back into "life." She has began working again (slowly) by showing houses and doing paperwork. (Did I mention that she sold a house while she was still "sleeping" in the hospital? That is some pretty mad selling skills if you ask me!)
Truth be told, she is PERFECT. Praise be to God for just letting her spend another day with us. The doctors mentioned when Elizabeth left the hospital at the end of October that in January, (this month) they expected her biggest problem to be memory issues. It was hard to believe at that time since she had such a long way to go but she is better than ever expected. And she barely has any memory problems! There are still some things that are holding Elizabeth back from being 100%... and we would love your prayers on these things.
PRAY. Pray that God would help Elizabeth to know that she is PERFECT. Pray He would give her comfort and strength when she feels that she is going through this alone. Pray that she would be JOYFUL and that God would use her as a vessel.
PRAY. Pray for Elizabeth's encouragement. Pray that the therapists, E's family, friends, and even strangers would constantly be encouraging her. Pray for her physical strength to get her through grueling therapy sessions. Pray that she would have energy.
PRAY. Pray for Elizabeth's vision. Pray that she would see clearly again and can get back to driving soon.
PRAY. Pray for E's family. Pray for them as they encourage Elizabeth and help her to make decisions about her health. Pray for them as they get back to work that they would have physical and mental strength.
PRAISE. Praise the Lord for never leaving Elizabeth's side. Praise Him for being our Healer.
PRAISE. Praise Him for Elizabeth. She is a medical miracle! Pray that all who hear her story and see the faith of she and her family would know the same living God!

A message from Elizabeth
(( I was asked to post the following message STRAIGHT from Elizabeth! ))
Hello everyone! I want EACH and every one of you to know how thankful I am for you! This Thanksgiving is one that definitely overflows with blessings from above.
"Thank you, Lord for all the wonderful people reading this blog- for all the people who have diligently prayed for me and have portrayed an example of spiritual commitment. Lord, I especially want to thank you for my sweet friend, Heather. Thank you for her gentle, Christian spirit. Thank you for her deep love for you and enabling her to write this blog."
I am most grateful for my Lord and Savior. He has saved my life and has a purpose for it. I deeply appreciate all of you for lifting me up in prayer, praying without ceasing, and asking our Heavenly Father to help me every step of the way and having faith that HE can answer your prayers. I know that HE heard your fervent prayers.
Today was a great day! I showed my first house since the accident and that felt good. I am slowly getting back to the real world! However, I am having problems with coming to terms with the accident and my injury. I never thought it could happen to me. A friend sent me this quote and it really is true. “God never calls the able, He calls the Willing and makes them able”
I don’t think I could say THANK YOU enough, but I hope you all truly sense my sincere gratitude!! I do appreciate it and am overwhelmed with letters, food, cards, flowers prayers, etc! I am so grateful I am not alone. I am blessed by the abundance of people who care for my family and me. I am so grateful to my God.
I would like to ask you to pray for Mark. I don't know him personally, but he is in need of urgent prayers and a miracle. ( I of all people know that God is capable of performing a miracle!) Mark is active at New Life Church in Conway and had an accident Sunday night and has a brain injury. I don’t know him- but I ask that you pray that God will heal him.
__________________
PRAISE. "Thank you Lord for Elizabeth's life! We praise you that 2.5 months after an accident that should have taken her life that she is writing a message of gratitude!"
PRAY: "We pray for Elizabeth as she adjusts to the changes that have occurred in her life. We pray that you give her grace and peace."
PRAY. "Father we lift up Mark. Many of us don't know Him, but we pray you be present during this tragedy. We pray that You would heal him! We pray for he and his family during this scary time and pray that they would turn to You for help."
(E also provided the following verse and video.)
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Joy
Please pray for Elizabeth. Pray that she would be encouraged and motivated. She has made wonderful progress, but she is still in need of healing. At times it is hard that her life is completely different today than it was just a few months ago.
Please keep the entire Parsley family in your prayers. They are going through some valleys at this time! In addition to Elizabeth's accident, a close family friend has become ill and Bill and Michelle are caring for him at their home. Rachel has also been sick and needs our prayers for healing. Elizabeth has therapy every day and it can be exhausting. Mentally she can become discouraged and physically drained.
Our God is faithful! If you are friends with Elizabeth on facebook, you probably know of the way that she continues to encourage people by constantly posting her favorite Bible verses. 2 months ago we did not know the function that Elizabeth would have at this point... my heart rejoices every time I see her post! Please give thanks to God for all He has and is going to continue to do in the life of Elizabeth.
Please lift Becca in your prayers today as well. The wounds on her leg are having some trouble healing and she is still on a vac and infection is still a concern. Pray that these wounds would heal completely!
PRAISE. For God's grace and faithfulness.
PRAISE. For the life of Elizabeth. For the way her life has impacted others.
PRAY. Pray for Elizabeth. Pray for her complete healing, her encouragement, a positive attitude and hope for the future.
PRAY. Pray for the wounds on Becca's leg to heal and that she wouldn't have any other issues with infection.

5. Send an email to prayersforliz@live.com letting us know that you have signed up to race. Just include your first and last name, phone, and email address. We will contact you with more race day details as the day gets closer

* The cost until Dec 1 to participate is $25, after that it goes up by $5. Please know that the money that you are paying is going straight to the LR Marathon and NOT to Elizabeth or her family. This event is simply to show our support for our friend and walk along side her. We will be making another shirt specifically for the race and we will sell those to anyone who would like one. More details on that later. You do NOT have to purchase a t-shirt to participate!
*We are also planning on having a tent to "party" in once we complete the 5k. We would love to provide food and drinks to everyone who participates. (If you would like to be involved in the committee working on this event, have a tent(s) we can use, or would be able to donate food/drinks for this event on March 6th please email us as prayersforliz@live.com!
Were excited about this and so is Elizabeth! Please email us at the address above if you have ANY questions!
