Those of you not residents of California, this is a request for a prayer chain. Those residing in California, Texas or Canada, please keep your eyes open!
Last night my husband and I were snuggled up watching a movie after tucking the little ones in bed, when my phone started alerting me. It was a sound I had never heard before, but it was a blare of an alarm. I got up, and looked at it to turn it off, thinking I just had accidentally set my alarm for an odd time not knowing. My heart sank as soon as I saw my screen, California issuing an Amber Alert for two missing children.
This is real life, and it may affect some people differently but it’s really taken me back. While my babies were dreaming sweetly, here were two little souls frantic over what may happen to them. These children need help. So far, the story is very tragic. The mother, and another child were found slain in a house fire engulfed in flames. The suspect has shaven his mustache and beard and is believed to be traveling to either Texas or Canada. If you would like more details about the story you can find it here.
“According to officials, Hannah (16 years old), and Ethan Anderson (8 years old), were kidnapped on Saturday at 5pm. Hannah is a white female, 5’7″ tall, 115 lbs, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a belly button ring, nose stud and pierced ears. Ethan is a white male, 4’11″ tall, 65 lbs with blonde hair. The suspect was last seen driving a blue Nissan Versa four door, with a California license plate of 6WCU986.”
Please! Whether you are a California resident and have known about this, or just a reader of mine, use this post to start a prayer chain to help spread the word. Get these babies safely home!! The power of prayer is a truly amazing thing, and with help all around the world it could do so much more than you know.
My heart goes out to the family of these children, and so extremely sorry for their loss.
