Prayer

Good morning all. I know I'm not caught up on this blog by any means but I wanted to interrupt the usual order of things and ask everyone to join with me in prayer. Yesterday morning Leah called me to let me know that a friend of ours from church died on Friday night. She was hit by a drunk driver while crossing the street at about 8:30 on Friday. It was a hit and run, the person did not even stop. Her name is Lauren Detrio and she actually went on the first mission trip to Mexico with our church (2006) and was a part of our youth group after that.
Please pray for her, her family, and her fiance. Also, pray for her friends. I know so many are hurting now-- she was so beautiful inside and out and she has truly touched a lot of lives.
Lauren and Mike [her fiance] are shown below.

Join with me in praying:
Heavenly Father, I don't always understand Your ways. In my selfishness and out of my flesh I would undo what has happened. But in the midst of all of this, I know that Your plan is far better than mine. I lift up Lauren, her family, and her fiance. Father I lift up all of her friends who are hurting and trying to understand. May they find peace in You. I love You Lord. Amen.
