I could not have been more excited when I learned you were my prayer buddy. We have a mutual friend, the dreamer, who has felt called to be your personal prayer warrior, and together we ganged up for you! The moment I learned you were my prayer buddy, I called her, and we laid a game plan on how we were going to pray for you. We picked one specific thing each day (her idea- she had already started!) and dedicated each day to it. (We didn't collaborate on this every day. Most days we prayed for whatever was on our hearts.) I prayed for:
- your marriage
- your hope
- your new outlook on suffering
- your finances
- your home
- your puppy
- your ministry in NaPro
- your maternal heart!
- your migraines and PMS!
- your time with your therapist (who sounds so amazing!)
- your husband's job and legal situation
- your trials with your in-laws
- your faith
- your walk
- your drawing closer to the Lord
- PEACE
Do you know when you were most on my mind? When I was holding Abigail and rocking her to sleep for naps and at night. I ached for you, and begged the Lord to let this be YOU. I long to hear a baby call you "mama" and look into your eyes. My heart hurts for you and I so feel your desire. I know the Lord has put this desire for motherhood on your heart, and that He is answering it in other ways right now. I am holding on to hope for you.
It has been an honor to pray for you.

NO. WAY.
Could I have even asked for a better prayer buddy at this time of my life?? I think not.
You and L have done incredible things through your prayer. Incredible. As I read through your list, I was absolutely speechless. Every last one of those intentions has come leaps and bounds since early August.
I just cannot believe it. And yet, I do :)
I can't thank you enough. You are such a sweet friend!!
Wow, you are a great prayer buddy! :)
This post - and TCIE's comment are a beautiful, awesome, amazing example of the power of prayer!
Thanks for sharing your witness ladies :).
You know, I was just thinking while reading TCIE's recent posts, "Wow, she must have an AWESOME prayer buddy!" Looks like I was right! :)
Your response made me tear up, TCIE!!!! You're too kind- you are amazing and I have been in awe reading your posts the last couple of months. They've been INCREDIBLE. You've been such a channel of grace to so many- especially me. I'm amazed at you!!!!
