Prayers for the Hamil family

Last night we had a wild ride! I live in the heart of Tornado Alley here in Oklahoma, and last night we proved the name. We had several tornadoes touching down in the central part of the state last night, but none so devastating, so on my mind and in my prayers as the one that ripped through Piedmont, Oklahoma. This tornado did so much damage, but most devastatingly it ripped a family apart. Literally.

One family was in their bathtub with a mattress over them when the tornado ripped through the house, tearing a 5 year old girl, a 3 year old boy and 15 month old baby boy from their mothers protective hands. The 5 year old and 15 month old were found last night as well as the pregnant mother. I was informed this morning that the 15 month old passed away from the injuries he received. The mother and daughter had surgeries today, but are still doing very badly. As of 5:45pm local time, the search for precious little Ryan (the 3 year old boy) is still going.
This family is in desperate need of prayers. I'm so proud of my state that has gathered around this family and have even created a facebook page to "collect" prayers for them, that page is called Prayers for the Hamil family-find Ryan.

I know that I serve a wonderful, awesome God who can protect, and bring this baby home to his hurting family. The Bible tells us all the time that He will do anything for us; I just wrote about it yesterday morning when I wrote on John 14:14 "14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it" I never suspected that I'd be using this verse so quickly, and in such a different way then I thought. This family needs that God healing, God rescue much more then I could ever dream of needing it right now. 


I wanted to reach as many people as possible with this message; so I came to the most "international" place I know, my blog. I try not ask to much on this, my blog, because it is a journal of the things I'm learning, but I do ask this: PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS FAMILY! They are going through so very much right now and covet all the prayers they can get to help in healing, guilt (the poor father was out of town when all of this took place), and of course rescue. Thank you so much for reading, and praying.
