Please, please lift up your prayers for the Drews family in Texas. Their 3year-old boy went missing tonight and they just found him in their pond. Little Dozer went to be with in the arms of Jesus. I haven’t met Marshie personally, but I have been blogging with her for almost three-years and she is a dear friend of whom I love and am aching for right now. I can’t imagine what she is going through. Please pray for comfort for this family. Please pray for them. Just pray.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Father,

Please bless this family as they go through this hard time. Please keep your arms around them, and remind them that You're there. You're always there, You'll never fail them. I ask that we don't forget to include them in our daily prayers, Father. Thank you for everything.

In Your Son's name we can pray,

Amen.

Hello everyone

Today when I logged on, I found a new comment from Suzanne, asking me to please pray for DrewsFamilyTX .  I was curious as to what was going on, so I checked her blog to find out.

My eyes immediately welled up with tears when I read that 3 Days ago, their beautiful little son, 3 year old Christian Drews AKA Dozer went missing. He was gone for a few hours, when they finally found him in a pond near their house. It breaks my heart just typing this.

Please pray for them as they are going through this horrible tragedy. I am going to be praying for them extra hard, because I lost my little brother in 2004. I know what I wanted when that happened. I wanted comfort. I wanted to know that my little brother was okay. And I know that he is.

*~Prayer for the Drews family~*

Dear Lord Jesus,

I pray for the Drews family as they are going through the loss of their son. I pray that you will bring them comfort, and help them to know that little Christian is okay, and they will see him again soon. I pray that you will give them strength, and although this happened, they will stay strong in their faith and love you no matter what. I thank you for that they had Christian. That was a huge blessing.

There you have it! We're hoping to throw in some horse lessons somewhere in there if budget allows, but still haven't found someone close enough. =(

Thanks for reading all the way to the bottom! I know it doesn't seem like much, but when you've gotta' drive 15-45 minutes to all of these places, it can get pretty hectic!

Outside My Window... I see the neighbor's yard, which has a slide and a swing. =)

I am thinking... That I should probably do my Bible reading for the day.

I am thankful for... My family, who blesses me each day.

From the kitchen... I see a yard that I should offer to mow, but I don't know how. =(

I am wearing...A red shirt, with creamish shorts and brown shoes.

I am creating... in the process of creating the front of my sketchbook for art class

I am going... to church tomorrow, to begin the youth group.

I am reading... "The Cat of Bubastes" by G.A. Henty

I am hoping... That I'm doing this all right.

I am hearing... My mother teach piano lessons.

Around the house... is carpet.

One of my favorite things... horses.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:

Finishing up my schoolowork, and finishing up organizing my room.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

(enough said.)
