Prayer Vigil 4pm

I've gotten a few emails today asking about whether or not the vigil is still on. I just spoke with Pastor Tom, and he assured me that the vigil will still be taking place.

I know the snow is coming down, so please give yourself enough time to get there. If you cannot make it, please take a moment at 4pm to say a prayer for Jaiden.

Thank you, and hopefully we will see you this afternoon.

Happy New Year Tlapa family! I was not able to make the prayer vigil because of the snow and I was concerned about driving over Temple mountain. I was, however, outside showeling snow just after 4:00 and I began to pray for Jaiden's continued healing. All of a sudden with the snow continuing to fall, the sky began to clear and I could see a blue patch of sky. I felt such a sense of relief at that moment. I hope your are all getting enough rest and know that we are all praying for a new year's miracle for your family.
Sincerely,

Miss Dilley

Hey Jaiden,

We just left the vigil. It was beautiful.

I met your Grandmother, and I got a nice big hug from her. She showed me your other grandparents Christmas card, it was beautiful. You look so pretty on it.

Hope you had a good day.

xo,
Jacqueline

Hi Jaiden,
We just got home from the prayer vigil for you at church. It was so nice. The church was packed full of people who came to pray for you to get better. There are lots of people who could not make it to the church that were praying for you at the same time too. We met your grandparents and saw Alexeigh, Aspen and Gage there. Alexeigh was really sad but she was very nice to everyone that just wanted to give her a big hug ... even if she did not know them yet. I bet that's a tough thing for a teenager to do! Lot's of people made cards for you. They also video taped messages for you and your parents. We hope you got lots of rest today so you can take your next big healing step tomorrow.
Good Night Sweetie!
Love and Prayers,
The Carson's

As Jaiden's Godmother, I personally would like to thank everyone for all your prayers and support during this difficult time. It has been so amazing to see first hand how this "small town" community, so small in population, yet gigantic in love, spirit and heart, has pulled together to support the Tlapa family. Thank you again!

Wendy

Hi Jaiden,
I went to your prayer vigil tonight. We baked sugar cookies (my choice!)and decorated them with ribbons. I saw Geena, Shannon, Lauren, Maddy, Michael, Mason and Danny there. I lit a candle for you while we were there. I probably won't get to talk to you until after school tomorrow. School will not be as fun tomorrow without you there! I am going to bed now. Before I get in bed I am going to pray for you to get better ... and for you to cough!
Love, Jen

Dear Jaiden and family,
I could not make the prayer vigil because I was travling back from vermont and got stuck in the snowstorm, but all the way back, as the car crawled slowly along in the snow, I prayed for you and your family.

Hi Jaiden -

I went to your prayer vigil tonight, and it was very beautiful. I lit a candle for you, and I got a ribbon to wear on my jacket. I hope I get to meet you soon. I go to school right down the street from the hospital where you are now, and I'll be there next week so maybe I will be able to visit. You looked so beautiful in all the pictures they showed during the service. It's easy to see why everyone loves you so much.

Feel better soon,

Pamela King

Dearest Jaiden -

WOW! You are such a loved little girl. So many people came to our church today for you and your family. Everyone is eagerly awaiting your improvements. Pastor Tom said such a wonderful prayer for you. We also said a prayer for your mom and dad and all your family members too. Your grandma got a lot of candles to bring to Boston. Candles are being lit everywhere for you.

Sleep well Jaiden. Let Mommy know that everyone is sending love and prayers to her too.

Jaiden,

We sang a song tonight ....

"And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand."

We trust that you are in God's loving hands and pray for your healing.

Dear Jaiden and Family,
Each morning when I awake, my first thoughts are a prayer for all of you. You are in my heart and thoughts the entire day. Jaiden, sweet girl, have a good night so you can be strong tomorrow.
We are looking for your next "baby step" and we hope it will be a big one. With God, all is possible.
I liked the picture of Jen's cookies and the others looked yummy too. It was so wonderful to see pictures of everyone at the Prayer Vigil. You were in my thoughts at 4 PM yesterday. Be confident in the Lord and be confident that this new year will bring healing.

Sweet little one ~ I pray that our Creator holds you in His arms & gives you the strength to get healthy again. I pray for your family and for the friends who love you so very much, that they will remember that they are loved and being prayed for, too. Use this time, while you are resting, to regain your strength... You'll surely need it for all the hugs you'll be getting when you wake up! We will all be patient - take as long as you need - just keep up the great work getting well and don't forget that the world is rallying with you! A friend in Prayer, ~A.

Sweet Jaiden, I hope that you slept well last night. I know you have a comfortable bed with arms around you, so sleep as long as you need to. I know as soon as you can you will be coming back to your loving family.
I wanted you to know that my daughter Laura has emailed the whole school up there in Barrington. You will be getting many get well wishes from the students. They soon will also be wearing your beautiful Ribbons.

Hi Jaiden,
As you can see by our 4 identical messages we struggled getting this on the blog. But you know what? If we posted the message a million times it wouldn't be too many times. I hope that you and Snoopy had a restful night and that mommy and daddy got some good rest. Did you know that someone in South Africa is praying for you? South Africa is so beautiful. I remember the night we had the 2 flat tires and we had to get out to change them and that night the northern lights were spectacular. We never would have seen them if we didn't have the flat tire. I trust that God has a special plan Jaiden. It's just that it feels like we have 4 flat tires right now. We love you so much sweety.
