Lifted up in prayer

My closest friends came to surround Connor, me, and our home in prayer as we prepare for his arrival. It could not have been more perfect timing for a couple of reasons.....I got hit HARD with a horrible cold last week and so prayer for healing was definitely in order. As a result of being sick and worn down, I was an emotional wreck. There was no one else I wanted around but my girls to encourage me and just relax and unwind. We prayed for a safe delivery, a healthy boy, a smooth transition for Dillan, a hedge of protection over our home and marriage, and for God to reign and be sovereign in the midst of the impending chaos that will soon take over. This night brought two main truths into focus for me:
1.) How GREAT is my God? How amazing that I have a Father that I can come to at any time and lay down my cares and concerns and He carries my burdens?? In fact, he welcomes me to rely on Him and promises to lighten my load.
2.) How AMAZING are my girlfriends? I had two drive all the way from San Diego to be with me on this night. I have the most loyal, caring girlfriends in the world and cherish each and everyone of them. Thanks ladies for the love and support!!!!!!


My girls....
Car, Mich, Kar, Steph, Jord, and Sarah
