Prayer is Powerful!

I just got back from a prayer group with some friends at church. It was specifically for me! I felt so honored and touched that this sweet friend from our Sunday school class offered to do this for me/us. She sent me this email, that I thought was so funny and sweet.


"Hey Kristi!  Thank you so much for being so open with our class and sharing your long journey over the past 5 years.  I can't imagine what all you have been through or how hard it's been on you, but I want you to know that I think you are an unbelievable strong woman with an incredible attitude that really is infectious!  I think you are a beautiful woman inside and out (with killer hair, too I might add--oh to have such body....but I digress!) and I am so glad your faith has been able to help you through this.  Now, I feel like it's OUR turn to step up too.  You put out the call, and I would like to answer.  I would love to have a women's prayer group for YOU at our house (in Hendersonville) sometime.  It won't have to last long, but I would think it would be early evening (so we can do what girls to best--socialize and eat!!) so we could get done at a decent time.  I would really like us to get together and pray over you and let you talk (if you want to) about anything you need prayers for at that time.  My goal is to do this every month (at least) until you can announce joyfully that you are pregnant!!!! 
You and Casey have been in my prayers and I know others are doing the same.  I truly believe in the power of prayer, but I also believe in the power of the gathering of believers and even laying on of hands.  If there is ANYTHING I can do for you, just let me know."

So we had an awesome night of fellowship, devotional, and prayer! It was powerful to me and meant so much for these friends of mine to take time out of there crazy busy schedule to come pray for me! /us and our baby! Thank you so much! Like I have said over and over, I have amazing friends! and I am truly blessed with them all in my life. Thank you for being my friend and having the faith with me to help us as we are on our journey. I love you all!~
