My God, so AWESOME...

This is just a quick post to talk about how AWESOME God is! He amazes me with how He works! This takes a little background for the story to have it's full effect, bare with me. As many of you know, Steve and I suffered a miscarriage at the beginning of the year after having tried for a baby for over a year. So, of course, it was a difficult time for both of us. Just shortly after the miscarriage, Brother Dave, our pastor, did a series on praying for each other and out specific problems/issues/struggles. At the end of the series, he gave each of us a slip of paper. Blue for the men and pink for the women. We were to write on it what we were struggling with and what needed prayer in our lives. If we wanted we could write our name and contact information. So, I wrote about the miscarriage and for God to show us what directions he wanted us to follow, and I put my name on it. So, now to the present time. I am taking a Wednesday night class that is "For Women Only". It is all about women trying to learn how to love and respect their husband as Jesus loves and respects the church. It helps us become more aware of how our husbands think, so that we can communicate better with him, which turns into us loving and respecting them more. So, last night as I was heading out of class, one of the ladies was walking with me. And all of sudden she said "Do you know I have been praying for this baby before it was born?" And I have to say, I was a little perplexed with that. And then she went on to explain how she had been the one to receive my slip of paper so many months ago. And that she had started praying for me right then, and hadn't stopped. She even said when she goes into stores and happens to see baby clothes she would stop and pray for me. How cool is that!!! She also said that's the first time she has done anything like that and how amazing it is that it has turned out the way it has!!! I just can't believe how wonderful the power of prayer is! Here's another testament to how amazing our God works and the power of prayer! This is a friend from church's blog. When I saw the pictures from the day she picked her princess up, I was crying like a baby! http://introvertedextrovert.blogspot.com/ I hope you have a fantastic day! And if there's anything you need prayer about, please comment and I will definitely pray for you! Love you all!
