Togetherness

This one is for Xiomara.

So,  I missed school today, due to a few issues.
Well, I logged on to twitter/facebook to see a ton of pictures of a prayer circle that was going on in the middle of our school's courtyard. and My first reaction was honestly ":o" then I began to look at the faces inside this circle and my reaction went to :OOO I saw so many faces of kids who used to curse God's name, giving Him praise and asking Him to work a miracle.

This circle came about because one of the freshmen in our school was involved in a tragic accident this past weekend and all of her friends wanted to pray her way to a speedy, healthy recovery.

I feel like this was such a great thing. Going to a public school that is really unaffiliated with religion, and seeing that almost 75% of the school population was praying, I can't even describe the peace and happiness I felt, it's just such a Jesus moment. Maybe one of those who were in that circle went home and dedicated their lives to Christ, or even an onlooker was jealous of the connection they were establishing with the man upstairs and wanted to experience that for themselves and went home and prayed. You really never know, but I do know something supernatural happened today.

I do not know her personally, but she made my day today. She's still fighting for her life, and if you're reading this, I ask that you take at least 5 seconds of your day to say a quick prayer for her.

And if you're one of her friends, I pray that you have peace in your heart. I know how difficult it is to watch someone go through something like this, so my advice to you is to just keep praying, God has a great plan for her life and it's all going to turn out how it's supposed to turn out. Just keep believing and trusting, He knows what he's doing.

And to Ximora, if we ever get the chance to meet, I'd love to just give you a hug, cause girl you're awesome.  You managed to bring so many people to Christ today, so I know He's about to do something big for you, I can feel it. You keep fighting , the world is rooting for you :)
