Prayers for Ali

This is Ali. She lives in Texas. I went to school with both of her parents, and graduated with her dad. Her mom was a year behind us. When my hubby and I were newly married, we were in a Bible study group with them for a year or two.





Usually on the weekends, I don't check email or facebook very often, but for some reason, I was prompted to check it on Saturday afternoon. I now know why. On Saturday morning, life was good for Ali. Things changed. I checked my facebook 2 minutes after this was posted: pray-Ali is on starflight. She is messed up bad. Colt kicked her in head with two hooves...Sat at 12:53pm
My hubby and I started praying, sent out texts and emails asking friends and family to pray. The mom of Ali had numerous responses to her post that many around the country were praying, and getting the word out for prayer, and many friends had posted Ali's updates for prayers on their facebook status. My friend over at Aspire To Lead a Quiet Life, got the email and she sent it out to people all around the world. It was amazing to see the amount of prayers that went up for this girl in such a short period of time!

She needs to want to be awake..thank you wonderful friends for your prayers-keep em up it is working..we can all get through, I feel strength from you Monday at 10:30 pm






If you can read that and believe that there isn't a God who hears us and answers prayers, I don't think anything would convince you!! Ali's prognosis was bleak when she arrived at the hospital, and throughout the night. Brain surgery was a sure thing, then suddenly it wasn't! I know I did not sleep on Saturday night, and checked for updates often. I spent much time in prayer in those sleepless hours. Prayers went up around the globe for this girl, most whom have never met her or her family. God heard the prayers, and started to heal this girl. Yes, she and her family still need prayers, but what God has already done is amazing. If you know anything about head injuries, she is way ahead of the curve in healing. The faith in her mom as I've kept updated is amazing. The amount of believers who have stood together and prayed is faith at it's best.



Please continue to hold Ali up in your prayers for a full recovery. Please pray for her mom, dad, and family as well as it's been a long few days for them.



Thank you God, for your faithfulness and healing! Thank you for hearing the prayers of those who cried out to you for Ali's life to be spared.
