Please Lift This Family Up In Prayer!

Good morning prayer warriors! :o)



Many of you know the feelings of excitement and nervousness while you await the birth of your sweet child - however, some of us know how the magnitude of this is multiplied following the loss of a child.

Walking into that delivery room takes on a whole new meaning....carries many more emotions....and requires a different level of strength.

9 months after Libby died I found myself back in the delivery room - about to deliver a baby with a congenital heart defect..not knowing what the outcome might be, but trusting in God to see us through. I will never ever forget those feelings as we waited for our little Cheyenne Hope to arrive. And 17 months after she was born we were once again - trusting in the Lord, "patiently" waiting for Savannah Faith. Words really can't begin to describe the wide range of emotions I felt during each delivery following Libby's birth and death. We were suddenly well aware of just how miraculous and precious these moments were ~ knowing ultimately that it was completely out of our hands and in Gods.

Will you please join me in prayer over a dear friend of mine!?! "D" and her husband are currently in the hospital, being induced! Though we have never ever met in person, I care deeply for "D" and her family. Our hearts will forever be mended together because of this deep bond we share. You see, we each have an angel waiting on us in Heaven. "D" and her husband had to say goodbye to their precious son shortly after he was born. For the past year "D" and I have clung to one another and Christ as we walk this uncharted teritory of grief. It certainly hasn't been easy - there are times we beg to get off this path. The pain seems to much to bear, the cross to heavy to carry. During these times God has surely picked us up and carried us through, and for that we are thankful. Trusting in God during a subsequent pregnancy, delivery and birth is one of those times where we must be carried, trusting our full weight in His hands!! Please keep "D" and her wonderful husband in your prayers today as they "patiently" wait on their joy to arrive!! Please pray for a quick and easy labor for "D" and a healthy delivery of their precious child! Please pray for the baby to let out a LOUD scream immediately upon delivery, so they know all is well!! Also, please pray for a speedy recovery for both mommy and baby!

I am SO excited for "D" and her husband. This baby will certainly bring them much joy and a healing unlike any other...

Thanks in advance for joining me in prayer over this family!! God bless you all.
