Prayer changes things. :)

Two weeks ago today 3 of my friends were in a major golf cart accident. These were just three normal 15 year old kids. They have gone to church with me since i can remember, they are really good kids. So when this happened we just thought "why would this happen to them out of all people?" This was not a reck where all that happened was some bumps and bruises. This was SERIOUS. Madison broke almost every bone in her face and knocked out some teeth. Hunter had two scull fractures and was not conscious for 10 or so hours. Courtney got lucky and just had scrapes all over her. But they are all home and well after many MANY hours of praying.

Well three days after this happened with them and everything was beginning to look okay, a freshman from hoover had a brain aneurism. I did not know this kid, but many of my friends did. They said he was a sweet kid. Why did this happen to HIM? I mean that is so rare and unbelievable. He was not responses for about a week. And as of right now they still do not really know what is going to happen.

Because of these two accidents parents, teachers, church member, friends, and strangers have been on there knees praying for these kids. And just last week one of my best friends Lacey said "Lex, what would happen if we prayed like this all the time." And that hit me like a ton of bricks. If we always prayed all day, all the time we would live in a different world. We would change things, really REALLY change things. As humans when everything is okay we say "Don't worry God, we got this. I will let you know when you are needed." Then something terrible happens and we come crawling right back. That is not how it should be, we should be on our knees praying each and everyday just as much as we have been the past couple weeks. We could change the reputation of hoover, alabama, or america if we would all just pray like everything is crashing down even when it is all going great.

Just keep this in mind this week :).

Love you all.
