On My Heart...

So I have a ton of catching up to do and probably way too many Christmas pictures to post, but this one is really on my heart, so it's coming first!

A little over a week ago, I was really humbled when a friend of mine randomly said to me, "I pray every day for you to have energy to get through your days." Not being able to sleep has really been a problem for me the past couple of months, but I didn't realize someone was praying for me to have energy... I was amazed that someone took time out of their busy day to pray for ME. I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, but I was really taken aback and humbled by her admission.

God has really put it on my heart over the past few days (while I'm up late at night not able to sleep) to pray for all the pregnant gals I know (and there are a ton!). I've started to do this, while I can't sleep I pray for all these girls and their unborn babies. I really wanted to post about this and I'm going to add to my sidebar a list of the names of the gals and their babies (with their permission of course!) so anyone else who feels led to pray for us expecting momma's and our sweet babies, check it out.

If you know of anyone else that would like to be added to the list, please let me know! (due date and baby name too so prayers can be more specific, or if there is a specific need for that momma or baby).

My list so far (the people I have gotten permission from)...

Jamie Seitz~Due April 15~ Baby Calvin (please pray for little Calvin's kidney)
Courtney Owens~Due April 24~Baby Leah
Melissa Potts~May 10~Baby Lillian
Brianne Davidson~Due May 30~ Baby Abigail

Jamie Knepp~Due June 1~Baby Boy
Rachel Atkins~Due June 6~Baby ?
Tosha Bailey~Due June 7~Baby ?

I love knowing I am on your list! :) Tonight, please pray for Jessie Davis. She just delivered baby Koen earlier this eve and he has pneumonia in both lungs. She hasn't yet held him and I know is very nervous! Thanks again for thinking of us mommies & babies!

All prayers are helpful and I don't mind at all if you put me on. Thanks for your prayers! And congrats on your pregnancy as well! I hadn't realized!

This is such a good idea! I know all those mommas are glad they are on your list and being thought of...especially the mothers that need the prayers.

Yeah I have been busy! Our Church is having a New years eve party and we are kinda in charge of it. What are you guys doing for new years eve?
BTW- I think your praying for PG mamas and the babies is a awesome idea!! Way to go!
