Heartbreaking Valentine's Day // #PrayforFlorida

2.14.17 Surprise Vlog!! (Please read full description for ways to help!)

Welcome to HTK Vlogs! In today's video we're celebrating the holiday we NEVER celebrate.. Valentines Day! However, the fun quickly came to a halt when we learned of the tragic school shooting in Broward County, FL. We found out after 5pm EST & our hearts broke. Please pray for the victims, their families, the entire community surrounding Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Don't listen to people shouting that "thoughts & prayers do nothing". Sincere Prayers to our Heavenly Father do EVERYTHING! Lift the heartbroken up to Him & they will feel the comfort of His loving arms surround them.
"And he said to them, 'This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer'.” Mark 9:29

This video is NOT monetized at this time. I do not in anyway want people to think I am exploiting this heartbreaking event. We vlog every day of our lives & this happened. I couldn't ignore it. I couldn't go on with a fake happy vlog just to get more footage. This is real life & I share my real life response with all of you.

PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN!! If you SEE something, SAY something. Even & especially if it's a comment left online or a text, Snap, InstaStory, ect. Tell a parent, teacher, another trusted adult, OR CALL THE POLICE!!

***And remember.. ABOVE ALL ELSE. Pray. Find comfort in the arms of the Father. Yes, there is unspeakable evil in this world. But guess what? In the end? We've already won! God has already won the battle. It's how we stand up against evil & allow Jesus into our hearts & lives that makes the difference on how we are able to withstand the war.***
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

Thank you for this video. I attend Stoneman and I’m a sophomore now. But I was in the building during the shooting.
