I come to you today with some prayer request, will you join me in praying for these people/families?

If you have been watching the weather channel at all, you may have heard about the massive amounts of rain North Florida is receiving. It's a lot of rain, y'all! Since this is my hometown and where all of my family lives, I have direct access to pictures and new updates. My mom has been texting me pictures over the past couple days and many of them are hard to believe so I thought I'd share on the blog.
Take a peek at these:
See anything missing this this photo? Only about half the road...yikes!
...unbelieveable!
This is the parking lots at the Orange Park Mall...I'd say those cars have some water damage!
This photo came from my Aunt Erin, and she normally lives nowhere near the creek or waterfront property. She does now! This is her driveway/front yard!
This picture and the picture below came from my Aunt Mary. Their backyard and garage is completely covered with water. According to her Facebook this morning, they are about a foot away from having water damage to their house and motor home. The deck below used to be part of their pool which has been gone for a couple years now. They still use the deck for outdoor living, only it's more like a dock this week then a backyard deck...
SO much water!
My Mom sent me this picture yesterday evening when her and my Dad were making rounds to see if any family members needed help or anything. I am not sure where this is exactly in Clay County, but you can see the street sign and all the water around it but you can't see the actual street. Not good!
These are only a small fraction of the pictures that are visible on my Facebook newsfeed. In addition to the rain and floods, there is also a need for prayer requests on the opposite spectrum. Fires. My heart goes out to the people in Colorado who are being effected but these fires and who have lost their personal belongings. Please pray for the fires and floods that are taking place right now! God hears and answers prayers, so let's pray for relief in both situations!
Do you have any prayer requests? Please message me because I would love to pray for you!
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.
He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed.
They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.

Praying for your family and your area! I've never seen flooding first hand, but I know how devastating it can be. I hope there is minimal damage and that the water recedes quickly. I have friends working at a camp in Colorado who had to evacuate because of the fires. They are worried they won't be able to work all summer because of them. They haven't been allowed back in, so they don't know if the camp is burned or was spared...but it is a scary time!
Praying for both Florida and Colorado- I just can't even imagine :(
Sending prayers your way!
When you get a chance, would love an update on how your family is doing! Still praying!!!
