so...i prayed

Ok, for  the past two mornings, I have not slept well...woke up Wednesday morning at 4:30 and today at 3:45 AND CAN'T GO BACK TO SLEEP....today however was different....i woke up with a casting crowns song in my head, not sure which one, and then feeling the need to pray for a girl i went to school with and her daughter...does God do that...wake you up to pray for someone?  i had the feeling that someone, somewhere was crying and that they needed to be comforted!  So...i prayed.  It's not that this girl and i are close or ever were close but for some reason her story and what is happening to her daughter is tearing my heart out...i think bc i have a 5 yr old daughter and i can't even imagine what she is going through.  so...i prayed.  as it turns out, i found out this morning that the little girl was flown to Little Rock last night bc of high fever and a rash ...did not know this this morning when i woke up...GOD DOES THAT!  HE WAKES YOU UP TO PRAY FOR PEOPLE!  I believe in the power of prayer and this little girl is going to pull through so that one day she can be used in a mighty way!
