"I prayed for you!"

Today, after my young mom's bible study, I was talking with a couple of the ladies. I made a comment about what Benjamin had been through, and one of the sweet ladies asked, "What happened?" I started telling her about how Benjamin was born with a rare head deformity and she stopped me saying, "I prayed for him!"


Those words were some of the most powerful words I have ever heard. I thanked her, and I hope she understood how truly thankful I was. And I know that she wasn't the only stranger that lifted Benjamin, Curtis and I before the throne of God. How thankful I am to all the people, those who we love, and those who we don't yet know, who prayed for us. And I know one day, probably in Heaven, I will get to meet every single person who prayed for us.


Knowing how blessed I was by prayer, I am asking again that you lift up another family who is facing the same thing we did. Here's a picture of Anderson (Ande) and his momma, Kim.
I spoke with Kim earlier this month, and just haven't taken the time to share her and Ande with you all. But please join me in praying for Ande! I believe that he has already had his surgery, and I hope to have another update soon.

Thank you!
