Today is one of those when I am filled with the rich comforts of a Father whose love is so evident in my life every day. Thank you for your prayers for our family. They are much appreciated and felt!
I have had two reports of really good news from dear friends today. Both of these things were on my heart and I am rejoicing tonight in their excitement. I have asked all of you before to pray for my friend, Christine, and everything she has been through with this pregnancy. Today she had baby Sam at 33 weeks and so far all the news is good. She was able to avoid a c-section and Sam is breathing on his own. Wonderful news! He weighed 3lbs. 14oz. and when I talked to his grandmother Christine was in the NICU holding him. I can only imagine how much that was healing her right then and there. You can check Christine's, Mindy's and Kathy's blogs for pictures and more information. Praise the Lord for Sam's safe arrival and that Christine is doing well! Thank you for your prayers for them.
Yesterday in our small group we began a study on prayer. I am constantly overwhelmed by the sense of love and family that comes when you know others are praying for you and with you. God certainly knew what He was doing when He put His throne room in place and gave us access to His ears through the Son. Thank you, Lord, for that! What a faithful God we have!

And thank you sweet Courtney for praying with us & for us! It has been such a blessing to have all of Christine's sweet friends walk through this time with us and grow to know you better ourselves. We are so blessed to see those prayers answered today! Samuel is precious! Can't wait for you to meet him. Love you!
Thanks for sharing the good news! I pray your family continues to feel lifted up and drawn near to the Father as you all grieve the loss of your aunt. Heaven is richer for her, I'm sure, but I know the pain of where she "isn't", not where she "is" that's the hardest part. May He make life without her for your whole family easier and sweeter in only the way the Lord can. . .
You are so precious and we have been blessed to have you walking this journey with our families. I continue to pray for comfort in your time of loss of your sweet Aunt. As we spoke yesterday, I was made more fully aware of how you bless others with your life.
Can't wait for you to meet Sam!
Love you so much!
