So this morning I've read through a few posts. I do want to move forward on to the other parts of our story but I decided to first post about our friends. If I'm going in order than you must know our friends/family have always been a part of our story. Our community group put together a prayer shower for us. How thoughtful. Shower after shower after shower we celebrated the little one's about to be born. I loved hosting them, being a part of them and LOVED the day those babies were born. Again, a piece of my heart either stung or broke all at the same time. I can tell you that never have I felt so loved as I did in the last 2-3 years. So thankful for my faithful friends/family around me. So, here's to the shower below and then we will move on to the happenings after the shower. I think it is the way it is supposed to be remembered...

prayers of hope
Many of you know about our community group and close friends around us. We could not go through this part of life without them. They put others needs before their own and take initiative to pray in a time of need. So this past Friday night Blake and I were showered with prayer. The troops were called in! Our closest friends and family prayed over us. We sat in the middle of a circle full of everyone who has been crucial during this time. It was a beautiful, meaningful time. I believe this is what the Lord would have us do in all circumstances...the Lord says when 2 or more gather in His name he will be there....and He was. Many people who attended had their own list of things we could have prayed about but they set it aside to pray specifically over us. It is such an honor to sit and listen to the people you love cry out on your behalf. It was a reminder of the Lord's faithfulness and was an encouragement to hear all of the requests before our God. Each person had something it seemed that the Lord laid on their heart to pray for us. They also put together a book for us so we could take everyone's written scripture or prayer home with us, I can't wait for our children to read them someday and know how many people were crying out on their behalf. We prayed for healing, peace, strength, the Lord's timing-His plan and His words. I trust that the Lord heard our cries and will answer. He will answer according to His plan, plans to prosper and not to harm us...to give us hope and a future. He is a good and faithful God! I am hopeful of what that might be.
Thank you friends and family, I can not imagine life without you...
If you follow this blog-thank you for praying for us as well.
