Last night, a dear friend of mine was celebrated. We met Emily (and her husband, Todd) at our church here in Louisville. They are such sweet friends of ours, and it has been amazing how quickly the Lord has knitted our hearts together.Todd and Emily have an adorable daughter, Avery, and they're expecting their second child in the next few weeks.
I gathered together with a few friends last night to pray for the baby that Emily will soon deliver. We prayed for everything from the delivery of the baby to the child's marriage and career.
Two things I gained from the night:
1) A greater appreciation for the friends God has placed in our lives. How wonderful it is to have friends who can walk alongside us and encourage us to live more Christ-like lives.
2) A greater appreciation for the importance of prayer, specifically the importance of praying for your children. It is never too early to start praying for the children God will give you. After all, I was praying for my future husband long before I even met Ryan. We are so blessed to be able to present our requests to the Lord, knowing that He is a God who hears our prayers.
