We made all the kids go directly to their rooms for safety, and had to cancel for the night. We were all very upset that this happened, but Traever reminded me that this allowed us all an opportunity to pray for this man; maybe a man who had never been prayed for before. Praying for these two men and their families, as well as you all.

What's crazy is last night I couldn't fall asleep and was praying and y'all popped into my head. As I was praying for y'all the same scenario played in my mind that really happened, being robbed at gunpoint in a car. At the time I pushed it out of my mind, trying not to think about a fantasy so bizarre, and prayed for y'all's safety. I was sitting at lunch today when I found out that God showed my exactly what y'all were going through so that I could pray. I tell you this to encourage you that God's ALWAYS watching out for us. He even will keep a 14 year old up late at night just to speak a direct prayer request for a shaken up family. All I can say is glory to God, praise the Lamb for His provision, thank You Jesus! I love all of you and will continue to pray.<br />Mattie PattersonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-84779282945819770802012-09-14T11:10:04.034-07:002012-09-14T11:10:04.034-07:00I am shaking reading this.
