God is Faithful

(Halloween pictures coming soon!)

This week I have been reminded how faithful God is. This week I have been praying, almost non-stop, for Mary's good friend and former roommate, Crystal. She disappeared last Tuesday...didn't use her phone, debit card or gas card. Her parents had no idea where she was...of course we didn't either. However, I am not her mother. I did not feel the same worry and agony her mother did. That's all I could think about. Of course I was worried about Crystal . I just couldn't get her mom out of my mind. My heart stops when I can't find Caden or Addison in a store for no more than 30 seconds. Her baby had been gone for days...not in a warm store but in the woods. How did she function? I don't think she did, really. This week I hugged my babies a little tighter...prayed that they'd never feel pain that they couldn't share with me...that they never feel like they had another option but to run.

Hundreds, maybe thousands prayed for her return. God was FAITHFUL! They found her yesterday evening, no doubt, scared, cold, and hungry! BUT she's ALIVE...how is that even possible? It's been so cold...she wasn't prepared...but her Heavenly Father was. No doubt, in the woods she relied on Him! No doubt while she was in the woods her mother relied on Him!

God NEVER ceases to amaze me with what He can do through me and inspite of me, what he can when people truly pray without ceasing for a need. What if I prayed without ceasing EVERYDAY?
