Troubled Hailey
Hailey is fifteen years old and is a beautiful, smart teenager. Our son, Mark has been Hailey's father for the last nine years he . She even called him Dad. Mark and Connie had a child together, Elijah, Hailey's brother. Somewhere along the way, Hailey got angry. Who could blame her? Life has been hard for her. I love this girl. She is an artist and very talented. She is smart in math and science. My grandmother heart cries out to God reach Hailey so she can experience the love of Christ. Help her to see how much she needs God and please Lord, help her to be smart about the decisions she makes. My prayer is that we can have time with her this summer at the lake. That she can swim and see her cousins and know she is loved. My prayer is also that she can see the love that her Dad, Mark has for her and that she can turn her chaotic life around with the help of Jesus. Oh dear lord hear this Granny's prayer.

Poor Hailey! Her life HAS been a chaotic one. Your prayers will be heard.
ReplyDeleteWe will stand with you in prayer. God loves her too.
ReplyDeleteI cry for Hailey! We love her so, so much! I just want to scoop her up and have her live with me for a good, long while!
ReplyDeleteYour post makes me teary. You're so right. One of my closest friends grew up in a home with a mother who did similar, damaging things. She met the Lord when she was a senior in high school and now has a hunger for the Lord that I can only hope to have one day.
ReplyDeleteAll three of those sweet kids (and their superstar daddy) are in my prayers often. Life is hard and messy. What would we do without our Redeemer?
