In the first moments I knew I was pregnant, I called my mom and we prayed together. I will never forget the words she spoke as she prayed with me over the phone. She asked God to protect the little life that was beginning to grow inside me. That is something amazing about having a godly mom, she will pray with me whenever, wherever and about whatever is on my heart. I love my mom for many reasons and this is one of them. This is when the many prayers for Lydia and me first began. I can't wait to share with Lydia about the many people in our lives that were praying for us while she was growing inside me. Praying, for me, gives me strength, because I'm releasing all the things I can't do on my own, over to the ONE who can do ANYTHING! Looking back, I am amazed at how God was answering those prayers. He was watching and protecting and providing for our every need. (and He still is) I love seeing how He works! From little things like helping me get my lawn mowed, to the big things like protecting my baby inside me while I was in the hospital fighting salmonella food poisoning for five days. I have always believed that there wasn't anything too BIG to bring to God in prayer, but in this process I've learned there is nothing too small to bring to him either. He cares and takes care of it all!
