Prayer

I woke up with one of the worst emails ever to wake up to today. One of my best friends, Natalie, informed me that our friend, Austin Lacey, had passed away last night. I do not know Austin very well, but know he was a great man, loved by many. His wife, Haley and I have been friends since college but I do not stay in touch with her as much. Regardless, my heart is so heavy today for her. I attended their wedding one month before Ryan and I got married. 9 months after they were married, Austin her husband, was daignosed with cancer. He survived 9 more months. I post this for one reason only, but to pray. Please pray for Austin's parents, Haley, and their family and friends. I can not imagine what they are going through. Our God is strong, sovereign, and mighty. His plan is perfect. Sometimes its so hard to not question why he would do this to such a sweet couple, but I pray and hope they rest in His comfort.

  4. I have been so torn up about this. I have known Austin since high school & he was such a great person. I can't even imagine the pain. I know they appreciate the prayers from everyone.
