i know i have been blessed with amazing prayer warriors in my life. i wouldn't be where i am today without some of you people. i don't usually post things on my blog of prayer concerns that i have in my life/others lives,(as i'm writing that, i know that i SHOULD be posting those things MORE) but today, i'm putting this out there.
i'm asking you to please STORM the thrones of heaven today for my dear friends. our family considers them part of us. as of now, i don't want to give any specifics but i'm asking you to join me in praying for them as they deal with an addiction in their family. i can't begin to explain the hurt that i have seen them experience and in the same breath, i have been a witness of God's faithfullness to them. They are an Amazing family, one that relys on Him & trusts,with all their being,that SOMETHING good will come of this. humanly speaking,this is an impossible situataion, one that we have NO answers for but in faith, knowing that there ARE answers. as i read today, 'life can change in the blink of an eye but thankfully, God doesn't blink'!! God knows the details. God knows the outcome. We believe, with all thats in us that He ALONE can do a miracle.
pray. please pray.

i cried big tears as i read this post...many know what our family has gone through and i know that absolutely thousands of tears were shed and prayers made on our behalf but our big God caught them all. He can make ugly beautiful, He can heal what is broken. i WILL pray...for every single person that is hurting in this situation. so glad your friends have you interceding on their behalf...standing right beside you with a whole LOT of FAITH, dear friends. becuase HE IS BIG enough!!! this is one of the verses i clung to in the midst of our storm. that and the one line in the song Majesty by delirious..."Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
Empty handed but alive in Your hands."
Genesis 50:20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.
You know I am in prayer!!!

Dear Traci,
This is a big one that only God's big hand can help. This request has not left me and I feel in my heart that real help is on the way. May the Living Lord who rocked the Old Testament with His power and who brought the rescuer to the New Testament bring that same might to this situation. May next week not look at all like this week!!
xooxxolb
We will pray! I am glad that they have you and Ryan to walk by their sides through this.
you are a sweet, loving friend...you need me, you call me...whenever (seriously even middle of the night, cuz i'm probably still up!). and of course, you may share anything of "our story", the blog, my phone number, my parents...absolutely anything that will help. i'm home for at least 8 days over thanksgiving...you are on my short list of "to sees". love you big!
Praying for your friends addiction...it is a horrible disease and a dark place but there is HOPE! Whatever the addiction it is it can be overcome through surrendering it to God above! Prayer is Powerful!!!! Love the addict, hate the disease!!!!
The words from an old hymn went through my mind as I read your post - "He giveth more Grace when the Burdens grow greater....." I will pray for abounding grace and mercy.
Oh, this family is on my mind. Such a horrible disease and so difficult to understand. This may be a long journey, with many ups and downs. Pray they can remain hopeful, in what often looks like a hopeless situation....with God all things are possible.
praying...
wow friends...
i'm in awe. thank you to all those who have let me (and our friends) know that you are praying. please don't stop....
