This morning I received the dreaded 1:20am phone call. Of course my heart always jumps in my throat when the phone rings in the middle of the night.
This call was from my brother stating that he was going to take Daddy to the hospital. I was needed to go sit with my Mom.
Honestly, I felt such peace. It was COLD out and the sound was still. Do you know what I mean? Not a sound outside. The world seemed to sleep.
As I traveled in the morning hours to my parent’s house, I began to pray for each family in the homes that I passed. I prayed for those who were alone … I prayed for each person to know God more intimately … the list goes on and on.
I returned home at 6:00am (Daddy is “ok” for now) and enjoyed seeing everyone awaken as the sun began to barely cast a light on the horizon. I prayed again until I was so moved that I couldn’t see through my tears.
Even though I’ve been operating all day on 3 hours of sleep, it started out with some sweet time on the cold dark roads. Thank You Lord!
How awesome that Jesus traveled that dark road with you. Praying for your Daddy. What a beautiful post.
Praying for you and your sweet parents. ((hugs))

In spiritual reality, we have nothing to be afraid of…He goes before us…the way He did with you as you travel down that dark road. How beautiful that in your prayers, peace surrounded you instead of fear. What a beautiful faith marker He had given you – "peace" in that journey. May His strength always be yours and your family's, and His healing cover you all, especially your dad, sister. Take care. I hope you'll get some sleep tonight. God bless.
Praying for you and your family.
Just today we were meditation on Psalm 23 in the Prayer Room. We were singing about how the Lord is our Shepherd and leads us and guides us. So thankful He is with you during this time. Praying for you and your parents!
ALL around prayers for you dear one. Blessings.
Praise the Lord!

Praying for both of your parents – and you, sweetie. Hoping you can sneak in a nap. Prayer is SO powerful.
What an intercessor you are. Someday we will understand why you were called so early to rise up and pray. One of those homes needed prayer support. Wish you were my neighbor; so glad you are my friend! I'm so glad your Dad and Mom are okay. I'm still praying.
Hoping your dad is doing just fine and what an awesome use of your early start!
