The Power of Prayer

Each time I pray there are many routine things that I thank God for. The first thing I am thankful for is the gift of life. Throughout this pregnancy I've realized what a miracle creating life is and that each day is such a blessing. Each day I wake up healthy and alive, I know God still has a job for me to do. I am not done here! Thank God!!

On my way home from school today I stopped to get gas. I was excited to go visit my parents. I left the gas station and as I was pulling out a woman hit me right on the driver's door. I was so shaken, but called the police and the insurance company. The woman was driving in a yellow, striped, illegal driving area/lane, so it was her fault. Regardless of that, we were all okay! Thank god!!

There is no explination other than the hand of God protecting Landyn and me. I couldn't open my door right away because the other car had my door pinned shut. I was staring right into her car emblem. She backed up and I realized my door now only opens about 6-8 inches - just enough for me to squeeze through now. Thank God!!

My car has very minor damage and is still drivable. We will take it in Thursday so I can get it fixed while we are out of town. Thank God!!

After the normal procedures, I called my doctor who asked me to come in to check the baby. Kris drove up speedy fast and we went to the Women's Hospital. They monitored Landyn's hearbeat - perfect! They also monitored me for contractions for over and hour - none! Thank God!!

This is a day to give thanks! There is nothing greater than the miracles God injects into our lives. Sometimes we don't notice them and sometimes they hit you right in the car door! Thanks to him and my daily prayer for protection and the gift of life, Landyn and I still have a job to do for him!

Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers for us as well. The power of prayer is strong!!
