You’re so right Abbie. Thanks for the prayer suggestions. These are all excellent!

I came across your blog by way of Compassion Dave’s blog. I just read this post and what a scary situation for all of you to be involved in. Towards the end when you asked if we would pray, I will admit, I chuckled a bit. I just wrote a post about praying for others and then not doing it. I had to honestly ask myself if I would pray. I want to let you know-I WILL be praying.
How can we pray for her you ask? I pray for her friends, her parents, anyone that can reach her. I pray that God will soften her heart to the ones who come. And I pray that you (just as you did with her) will always have your eyes and hearts open to help others like her.

It all reminds me that there are different kinds of poverty (and sometimes) the saddest type is the kind people choose to submit themselves to. I am not saying that this child falls into this category, but that the scenario brings it to my mind. Nonetheless, she is in my prayers.

Emotions? Yes — sadness, questions, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. We do need to keep praying for her — thanks so much.

Oh my goodness! I can’t even imagine what emotions you guys must have been going through in that situation much less imagine the situation the girl was in. I will remember in my prayers.

Thank you so much for all of you who are praying for this teenager. I know there are many more out there, but God specifically brought this one to our attention.

Heartbreaking – truly. I often look at teens and young women around me and my heart breaks. I hear so many stories about drinking, drugs, and letting themselves be used by men.

As much as I want to – I can’t fill that hole in their heart. Only God can do that. All we can do is live like your scripture passage – being in community with others. Helping them up and pointing them to the truth of God’s love.

I will be praying for this girl

Wow Julie, what a story. I’d be concerned that someone had given her GHB or Ketamine. Where I work, she would have at least had her blood sugar checked – Firefighter EMT’s have different policies and procedures everywhere, so I’m certain they followed their protocol, but an ER visit is prudent after a period of unconsciousness. I’m glad you, Mindy & Bernice were there. She was in good hands!
