Prayers needed........

It has been a horrific week for my family!  My older children's cousin overdosed on Thursday of last week and died just after midnight on Sunday, father's day!  My youngest daughter(13) was the victim of a predator Monday night.  She had gone for her evening run, had been gone a little too long & I went looking for her.  She had been grabbed by a 20 yr old male and I had gotten there just in time.  We called the police & after several agonizing hours, there is nothing they can do since he "didn't touch her" anywhere! 

thanks, tj

Glad your daughter is OK, prayers for you all.

I am not a violent person, honest.  but I do believe that if I had caught the guy he couldn't touch anyone cause i would have broke his fingers, his head, his arms, well you get the point.  Nothing worse than a mad Mama!!! I pray for your daughter over this, and peace for your whole family.  I am so sorry this happened to all of you.

TJ, don't know you but wanted to ask about your daughter.  This so freaked me out; I have a 16 y.o. who sometimes runs in our 'hood. 

The Lord just brought ya'll to my mind this morning, and I wanted to check on how she is doing.  Personally, I would be a little freaked out if I were her ...

Thank you so much for your prayers!  She is still very shaken up and can't believe it happened.  She said it was a "nightmare" in slow motion!  She slept with us the first night, something she hasn't done in years! She is alot more careful about what she says, who she talks to & her surroundings.  God took care of her and she knows it!  And i am sooo very thankful!!

The sad thing is she was so comfortable here where she grew up and now is hesitant to go outside alone!

My daughter and I moved to the "country" from Houston - a nice neighborhood, lived on a cul-de-sac, brick homes with sidewalks, etc. All my "city" friends said, "Aren't you scared to live out there by yourselves?" I said, "No, I won't let her check out mail here!" We have been so blessed to have good neighbors, both where we moved to and where we are now. 

But situations like this give all us parents pause.  At sixteen, Chrissy is now driving and like most teenagers, thinks she is bullet proof.  But someone ran her off the road the other night and she has been knocked down a peg or two.  I have never thought twice about letting her go off to ride her horses alone or run in our neighborhood, but your story makes me even more nervous about her being out of my sight.

We cover them in prayer and leave the rest up to their common sense and God's protection, is all I can tell you, one mom to another!!
