Below is my friend Megan’s blog about her friend Aubrey who is missing.  Please pray for Aubrey and her family.
 
————

I met Aubrey when I was 10. My family moved to Greeley, Colorado and that summer I joined a competitive soccer team. She was one of the first people my age that I met. I played my last game of soccer with Aubrey our senior year at Greeley Central High School. Many of my fondest memories of soccer include Aubrey.

 
We had a tournament in Vail, Colorado one summer. Aubrey and I took two mountain bikes, mischievously, on an a little trip around the Vail golf course until a man on a golf cart came and told us we had to get off. That was all Aubrey and I could talk about for about a month. I remember laughing so hard my entire body hurt. Aubrey had such a great way of making people laugh and smile. She was such a happy-go-lucky girl and I admired her love and zest for life. Since graduating, I haven’t talked to Aubrey, which saddens me. What I have seen is that she worked really hard to get through college at CU, she continued to pursue her love for art, and is teaching and enjoying yoga (thanks facebook). I wish I could sit down with Aubrey and catch up.
 
But today when I was sitting in the coffee shop in Chanthaburi, Thailand, I read that she had gone missing. She has been traveling around in Asia, teaching yoga and learning eastern culture and thought. She left from Kathmandu on a journey and has not returned. It is now May 11, 2010. She was supposed to return to Kathmandu on May 1st.

 

The Lord has been stirring something fierce in my heart ever since I read the news. I do not know much about Aubrey and where she is spiritually. All I know is that the Lord has spoken pretty loud and clear to me that I need to pray. I need to respond in love. I need to get the message out that she hasn’t been heard from in 10 days. I need to get people praying for her protection and her safe return home. I wrote an email to Aubrey’s parents today at 16:35 (Thailand time). In that email I prayed for her safety and that the Lord would have Aubrey contact her family within 24 hours. My prayer is that Aubrey will in fact email or call someone back in the states by 16:35 May 12, 2010 (Thailand time). I am praying. I am believing. The Lord is telling me that I need to pray, not only for Aubrey’s safe return, but also for His glory to be known in this situation. He is telling me that if we pray, His Kindom will come! I’m praying in faith…

 

Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you.”

 

Mark 11:24 “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.”

 

John 16:23-24 “I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive and your joy will be complete.”

 

Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.”

 

Aubrey’s missing. Will you intercede on her behalf? She needs your prayers. She needs His hope. The love of the Lord is pursuing her with a force that is to be reckoned with. I pray against the strongholds that are preventing Aubrey from seeing and experiencing His love!

 

“Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!”
